Hey,

Can anyone recommend a good high-end or Euro focused parts house in Portland or Vancouver? I live in the NE and work in Vancouver.

I'm new to the Portland area and picked up an e34 touring when I got here. I'm going through it fixing all the little annoying broken bits, and doing a good maintenance to make it reliable.

I normally order most parts over the web, but there are always times when you need something now, or can't wait a few days for shipping, so it's nice to have local parts and supply houses tha stock things like ATE brake fluid, good synthetic oils/lubes, etc. My tools (and our furniture) just arrived this week, and I'd like to bleed the brakes this weekend if it stays nice, but I need good quality brake fluid.

Any suggestions on a shop to get good fluid, and a good brake fluid to use?

Danke!
Ian

thanks man, it looks like there is one reasonably close to my place. i'll go check them out.

Chris at Bartosh will probably remind you of that little e-clip that you forgot when you called in your order or that you don't need x part, only y and z for what you're doing. The simple act of carrying out a set of rotors when I sent my wife on a parts run with the kids, has kept me going back for over 10 years. They have treated every referal wonderfully that I have sent. First exit North off of 500 and up the hill, right turn after the school and gas station, West on the creative speed bump road. on the way there before you get to the bowling alley there is a tiny tiny little radiator shop that will get whatever radiator you are looking for too.

Parkrose hardware in Portland and Vantuckey carry hardware for the Eurocar challenged.
