At this time all MYE28, S14.net, Roundel and any other internet mail order parts discount codes are expired. Unfortunately this program has come to an end. Upper mgmt makes the calls, and I must follow them. I cannot ellaborate as to all the reasons.
In the future we may have an automated webpage where one can order parts through. I will of course inform if and when this happens.
I wish to thank each and everyone of you who has done business with me in the past. If it werent for you, I wouldnt be here. Many many thanks to all.
See you on the forums.

Rats. They've been running those big ads in the Roundel, too - I figured that meant management thought it was a good (and profitable) idea.
edit: to be clear, does this mean you're out of the mail order business altogether, or just that we can't get the double secret discount?

The mail order biz is over. Sorry guys.
I will be processing the pending orders until they are gone.

Bummer. Brian, thanks for helping out the e28 community and hopefully the mail order parts business will be back sometime in the future.

Wow. I was worried about the possibility of this when we spoke the other day, I just didn't realize it could happen so soon. I'm glad I got that big order in last week.
Sad day

Thanks for the fun while it lasted. I am also glad I got that last order in just before your vacation.
We can still toss stuff your way for quotes, and see what prices come back, or is this window to the parts desk closed?
Beyond the discount codes being expired, are you still able to search the world for various unobtainium, like the NOS M5 wheels and bumper kits and spoilers, and other items? Maybe the pricing will not be as good, but even finding that stuff is an incredible value......
Here's to hoping!

Dang it. Double Dang it! Very sorry to hear this, Brian. I enjoyed doing business with you and hope this is just temporary.
Where am I going to go now for dealer parts at a great price?

That was a good run Brian. Thank you for all the parts and excellent service. I had a few more items I was holding out on before ordering but oh well. You did a great service for all of us and I really appreciate it.

Yeah, I suspect everyone reading this thread just sent him an Email. I'm about to buy a part for a car I don't own yet which breaks a
HUGE personal rule.

Quoted from another thread:
Chattanooga BMW has also been advertising in the back of the Roundel. I'm wondering if the other dealers are going to continue their programs or discontinue them...maybe the corporate guys don't want all these dealers selling outside their territories. Just thinkin'.

Brian thanks for all you've done!!!
I just want to clarify... We can only call you for orders now & cannot send them through email? Or is it that we can no longer get these discount coupon rates you speak off? I'm not familiar with those.

Pretty much done with any mail orders. Local sales only. We are experiencing growing pains here and have to adjust. Kinda like back when we moved here 5 years ago. Im confident we will be back bigger and better to serve everyones needs.

It was such a valuable service. Just yesterday I talked to Brian about getting an OEM Boysen muffler from a 745i and evidently made it JUST under the wire. I hope.

Arghh...
Man I was just speaking to you on the phone yesterday about my headlamp washer system order. Am I under the wire?
Well, I was just getting into my parts supply addiction (you know you were nothing but a pusher, right?). Guess I'll have to wean off a bit.
Along with everyone else, I wanted to thank you for offering the entire community a tremendous resource and service. I'm hoping you'll be able to bring it back to us in the (near) future. If we ever cross paths in person, the beers are on me.
