How we source BMW parts
Stripped from accident-damaged BMW cars, then tested
- Over 15 years stripping accident-damaged vehicles for used parts.
- Removed carefully and tested before a part is sold, so you're not paying for something that doesn't work.
- Matched to your car — send the year, engine and VIN if you have it, and we'll check it's the right part.
What BMW owners ask us for
BMW owners sent 40 part requests in the 12 months to October 2026. Engines lead (5), then gearboxes (4), radiators and grilles (3 each). Radiators showing up so high is typical of older BMWs, where the cooling system is often the first thing to give trouble — our guide to BMW cooling systems explains why.
Classics come up too: the latest BMW requests on this site, in September and October 2026, were for a 1986 and a 1990 car.
Built down the road in Rosslyn
BMW's Plant Rosslyn, outside Pretoria, was the first BMW factory set up outside Germany. It built about 92,000 E36 3 Series (1994 to 1998), 269,000 E46s and 342,000 E90s (2005 to 2012). The plant now builds the X3. So the 3 Series is the BMW you are most likely to see around Pretoria.
Use the model list above to go straight to your generation — E30, E36, E46, E90, F30 and the X models each have their own page.
Asking us for a BMW part
The quickest requests give us four things: model, year, engine size and the part. Add a photo or your VIN if you have one. If the part is a panel or a light, tell us the side and the colour, and if it is mechanical, the engine size. We've spent over 15 years stripping accident-damaged cars for used parts, and we test parts before selling them. Send the details and we'll come back with a price.
Running an older 3 Series with a rough idle or a fuel smell? Our guide to BMW fuel injection parts covers the usual suspects.
FAQ
BMW parts questions
What's the most common problem with BMW?
On the E46 3 Series, built at BMW's Rosslyn plant outside Pretoria from 1998 to 2005, it is the cooling system. Cars.co.za's E46 buyer's guide says E46 cooling systems fail regularly, mainly because their plastic parts become brittle with age. That shows in our requests: radiators were among the most-asked-for BMW parts here, with 3 of 40 requests in the 12 months to October 2026, alongside engines (5) and gearboxes (4).
