patsbimmer1 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'd always rather drive to Concours when I lived out that way but now that I have used Zimbrick a few times they're better than both! Bimmerfan31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42b32 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Only thing I've ever gone to the dealer for in the last few years has been getting another key for my e30 and I went to Concours. I will say, however, that my both of my parents are leasing cars from there and have had nothing but positive experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnt m3 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I will say, International Autos parts department sucks. I have to deal with them relatively frequently. It is almost impossible to get a hold of them via phone. Funny how I can be there ordering parts and just watch the employees ignore every phone call while the phone is just ringing nonstop. It takes less time out of my day to look part numbers up on real oem(which I can do faster than their employees) and drive down there to order parts. Forget about getting the parts delivered, most of the time I need to call to see if they have even come in. I have even had special ordered parts from Germany that took weeks to recieve supposedly sold (not that anyone else would have ever bought them) even though they were prepaid. Absolute garbage on all fronts there. andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Doesn't look like this has any effect on the "concours" BMW show according to the badger bimmers event calendar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 so what is it? Umansky Motor Cars or BMW of North Milwaukee? Is it still a BMW dealership? even though i despise all that is 'dealership', i still have to go there for unobtainium parts. do i have to switch to International?

wasnt m3 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 It's still a BMW dealer, they are now called BMW of Milwaukee North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Megasquirt does NOT like cheap crank position sensors and others, on here even, have had poor results trying to get something OE anywhere but the dealer, otherwise I have really been able to find everything else I need online or even at that European parts place right next to the Zoo interchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhundley Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 The trick to getting someone to answer at IA is getting the direct extensions to peoples phones. Ryan and Ken at Concours are the guys to talk to for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 they probably don't answer cause they don't like getting laughed at when they give out parts price quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Why is everyone so against buying parts from the dealer? Compared to most manufacturers, bmw is one of the most reasonable. I may be a little biased by getting a dealer discount, I suppose. andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I would rather buy parts at retail from BMW verses Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I buy parts from what was Concours all of the time and the pricing is fantastic=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Fords OEM pricing is amazing and really competitive with the aftermarket. I don't hate OEM parts just some of the OEM pricing. Brake and steering/suspension is typically way over priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now either BMW of Milwaukee North or Umansky if you don't feel like saying all the words for BMW of Milwaukee North. We continued to use Concours BMW as the name until we were provided new ad templates, etc. for the new name. YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vng704 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Just ordered a new wheel lock key from Danielle W. of bmw north/umansky via emails and she was very helpful with ordering and shipping. I live an hour away so I didn't want to make a drive to order and then pick up. Great service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseljuvy Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I did not have the best experience at IA. Living in Milwaukee I now use Zimbrick exclusively. They have been very easy to work with. The drive also gives me some seat time on the open road. Worth it in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
