Where in greater Vancouver to buy parts?
Hello brand new to BMW and have been out of modding cars for a long long time. I just picked up AW 2011 335xi coupe with m-sport yesterday.
I'm looking for shops that sell black grill, clear sidemarkers, and led bulbs for the license plate frame. which stores do you guys recommend? or canadian online retailers? PS: i've seen sum ppl say they've deleted the orange marker on the side of the bumper, does that mean they filled it in, or they painted over it? |

buy online and ship to Point Roberts...save you a lot of money that it'll be worth the time to drive to pick it up

While you're there fill up with Shell VPower at 1.10$/l. It's 2 minutes down the road

Google The Letter Carrier Point Roberts and register. When you buy, tell vendor to ship to your name and their address. They will send you an email when the package arrives. Very simple process .... Depending of what value you're bringing over, you have to pay taxes... The rule I think is that if less than $200 value they just let you go through and you'll be a happy guy you saved so much $

It really depends on the mood of the border gaurd you're dealing with that day. The guard only let me go through once without paying duties on a purchase over 1K. Normally all the guards look like they are having a bad day.

deleting orange marker u can either get a vinyl that u simply stick on, or most ppl get a new painted reflector that fully replaces the orange one. you can also find these on the websites above hope that helps!
