Does anyone work for BMW??

Does anyone on this forum work for BMW?? (UK)

I'm looking to order a load of m3 parts for my car soon and every time I ring my local dealer they hate me ringing for parts that are not specific for my car basically the bloke is just a jobs worth

So I was wondering if anyone on here works for BMW and could help me out maybe even some cheeky discount?

Or if anyone nows where I can buy OEM parts in the UK other than main dealer

Thanks Brett.

He isn't a jobs worth, the problem is the parts system they use is driven by chassis numbers generally. No chassis number means needle in a high stack trying to find the parts your after....

In addition some parts can only be ordered if the dealer has the car in for work and it's linked to a Work In Progress number.
