[urq] Getting hands dirty ] Help with NLA parts - 857 422 385

Yup. BMW and Merciless Benz both have virtually any part you want available. I know more than a few classic car lovers that wanted to get older audis but have decided not to because of the parts situation. It really is sad (not so much from a business standpoint, but more so of a product support and customer loyalty standpoint). 

And thereby a crucial part of the marque's reputation imo.

My year  old purchase of an 80's BMW has really brought the woefully Audi parts situation to the fore.  I can get virtually every nut and screw in a few days from the dealer or on line. 

Found the filters below @ onlinebmwparts.com  (a dealer!)

32-41-1-123-323 - $17
32-41-1-120-715 - $9

The fact the Audi can't even keep track of cross referenced NLA parts that are still out there is typical.  No way a old Audi purchase takes front row to an old BMW purchase any more in my mind.
