Where to order parts?

Gorillajin · 10-28-2024, 02:15 PM

Hello
I have 2010 328i sedan with 121000 miles.
Oil is leaking quite a bit, and it's time to change the valve cover gasket.
My mechanic told me that if I am going to keep the car long time, change the valve cover, gasket, ESS sensor, spark plugs, coils, etc which will cost more than $3000 where I live.
I am thinking to do it myself since there are a lot of DIY guide.
Where do you order the parts? Pelican parts? or ECS? Are they good like OEM from dealers?
Any advice on this?
Thank you.

After the buyout, ECS feels like another Newegg situation, quality took a nosedive. Personally, I’d pass on it.
