random thought... p51 do you think it is better to deal with 'non generic'/more expensive parts such as ECU tuning for 335i, hamann parts, etc.. which cater to enthusiasts who have more $$?
i haven't dealt with the overdrive brand personally but i find that sellers of generic parts tend to have generic knowledge so i tend to avoid them (for example i enjoy purchasing parts for my wrx from a shop in nor cal that ONLY deals with turbocharged subarus) i happily pay the premium for their stuff and their labor because i feel confident that sell quality parts and are very knowledgeable about the vehicle... if i wanted a 'generic' part i would just for example, buy an ebay downpipe and have it with in my driveway
you certainly have a very high level of expertise and i'm wondering if a generic part shop will not be the most optimal way to highlight your skills to potential customers
