Through Napa they are. But AutoPartInternational isn’t bad, from what I understand. I dont condone shopping at other auto parts stores but if you need something then you need something. API has okay stuff. ---

Werd, never buy from a dealer unless absolutely necessary. At NJMP, one of my ignition coils went bad. I figured it’d be around $100 a coil at the BMW dealership. I called the local NAPA. The coil was $37, where the dealer was around $98 or so. Since the NAPA ones are the same EXACT parts at the dealer (has BMW part number on them, as well as the Bosch/Bremi number), I bought the three they had in stock since it’s a somewhat common problem. Win. ---
