Ordered before 2pm on a working day, these are dispatched the same day by express courier and normally arrive within 1–2 working days.
Parts supplied from our European supplier
A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.
Collection from Arlesey
Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.
International
3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

How do I know if my BMW has the Type 168 differential?
The Type 168 rear differential housing has 7 bolts securing the rear cover to the body. Count the bolts on your diff cover — if there are 7, this is the correct bearing set.
What is the difference between the F-236120.03 and F-239495 bearings?
They are the small and large pinion taper roller bearings in the same differential. Both must be replaced together during a pinion rebuild for correct preload and longevity.
Are these OEM or aftermarket?
These are genuine Schaeffler (FAG) bearings — the same manufacturer that supplies BMW's production line. They are OEM-equivalent quality made in Germany.
Do I need any other parts for a full diff rebuild?
A full rebuild will also require pinion and crown wheel seals, shims, and a crush sleeve. Contact us with your differential code and we can advise on the full parts list.
