robo22sri 10 Posted April 26, 2012 Hi guys anyone know a ood place to buy bmw mini spares? I need a passenger rear bearing for my mrs car, I have looked on ebay but prices are from £40-70! I would rather buy a good brand SKF bearing or something like that instead of a cheap chinese crap one Cheers Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 26, 2012 I wouldn't buy anything but genuine BMW for something like this - pattern bearings never last! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
