E36 Parts
I live in Omaha, and I'm having trouble finding parts locally. Even
the stores I talk to (O'Reilly, AutoZone, Advance) seem to have trouble ordering them. Hell, Advance doesn't even have a listing for this model. For instance, this time around, I'm looking for a cap and rotor for my E36 328i. I can find plugs anywhere, but no caps and no rotors. Is there any reputable website that would have all these parts? There is a dealership in town, but I'm not too fond of them, and I'd prefer not to pay dealer prices anyway. Thanks, Gabe |

There's a couple others; check Roundel for ads. Floyd |

Try Crevier BWM, they are in California but their parts are relatively
inexpensive. Also, a good source for information is Roadfly.org, BMW listings. |

stuff and always have had FANTASTIC prices on OEM parts. the website is: http://www.autohausaz.com/ shipping is usually free and quick to boot. Good luck!!! |

The computer performs the function of the distributor on your engine. Each cylinder gets its own coil, and the coil is fired by order of the computer, much like the fuel injectors are fired by the computer. |

Except, there is no distributor cap and rotor for this motor.
