S38B36 parts, any alternatives to dealer?

[rick540]

Im sick of being told by BMW that every single part on this engine is Ex-Germany.

Every time I try to work on it I have to wait three weeks for BMW order.

I am looking for a cam chain guide, oil pump chain and tensioner.

Any idea who else "might" stock this stuff oem or aftermarket in South Africa of even a foreighn company that can Fed-Ex it to me in three to five days?

They have almost everything for older M cars and are cheaper than the stealers.

try emi on the forum he specializes in bmw parts he might be able to get the parts you need, but you will probably still have a wait...

Thanks, shot them a mail asking if they can ship via Fed-Ex or UPS, that way I can get stuff here in three days or less.
