Bavarian Autosport has closed
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com https://www.bavauto.com Got this email from them: With a heavy heart, Bavarian Autosport is sad to announce that we've closed our doors after 45 wonderful years. We have loved being part of your community as we've built, raced, and repaired our cars together. We are working on options to ensure that the Bavarian Autosport name will live on. Until then, thank you for your dedication and commitment to us over all these years. |

I watched their videos then ordered the tools they showed. Trusted them and the merchandise I received was excellent quality.
It really is sad. |

Sad to see this. BavAuto was one of the biggest sources early in the game, with great selection, reviews, and knowledgeable reps/online community. Used to love getting the catalogs in the mail back in the day.

I bought parts from them over the years without issues. Too bad, now deleting from my list of vendors.

Man I’m surprised, I remember buying parts for my e30 m3 from them back in the late 90’s.

EXTREMELY sad to see them go. I ordered 98% of my parts from them (I'm in Canada) and attended almost every single Show & Shine since 2005.
So there is a lot of money tied up in stock, hopefully something good comes out of this. |

I just went to their website and they seem to be live and kicking. No mention of them closing their doors and products up for sale.

Wow. I just got a part shipped from them about two weeks ago. Of course with every shipment a catalog is provided.
Sad to them go. Thanks for the good memory. |
