Does anyone know where to purchase new power steering hoses (the ones that attach to the PS reservoir)? One or more of mine are leaking a bit, but I don't see any replacements listed at Bavarian Autosport. Is this a dealer-only item?

Why does everyone insist on buying from catalogs?
You can buy genuine BMW parts cheaper at the dealer who offer good discounts to BMW CCA members. Many dealers off 20% off MSRP. I buy from Tischer BMW in Silver Spring, MD since they are local but they do ship UPS. __________________ ...steven

My BMW dealer is god-awful and half-an-hour away when traffic is not congested. Their work hours are the same as my work hours. They won't have the part the first time I stop by. They will have to order it. If I am lucky they will order the right part, which means at least a second trip. Depending on my work schedule it could take me one-two months to get the part, plus cost me a lot of time and gas.
Bavarian Autosport, on the other hand, allows me to order online any time of day, and every part I have ordered from them in the past eight years has shown up at my door no more than three business days later. Customer service and convenience mean everything to me these days.
That's why I order from catalogs, but perhaps I will look into Tischer if it is a dealer-only part. | | | | | 04-04-2006, 03:35 AM | #5 | | Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Williamsburg, VA Posts: 91 |

I deal with The Imported Car Store for OE parts in Central Florida. but for hoses I am looking at www.HoseTechniques.com cause I was thinking of red for the engine bay. | | | | |
