Parts for any MINI model are typically unusual to find on the shelves or in catalogues of mainstream auto parts stores in Australia. This often makes it necessary to shop around to several suppliers to find all required parts.
Below are a number of suppliers who are able to supplier either new, second hand or both parts.
There are no affiliations between australian-r50.com and any parts supplier. The suppliers are listed here based on a positive purchase experience.

MINI/BMW dealer
The best quality and most reliable parts are typically those that are genuine sourced from MINI or BMW directly.
It can be worthwhile doing some price comparisons, as sometimes parts can be somewhat excessively priced, while others are reasonable relative to availability elsewhere.
You can find your nearest MINI or BMW dealer by searching online.
MINI specialists
The best MINI-specific knowledge will usually be found at dedicated parts suppliers.
A number of classic Mini suppliers have expanded to include MINI also, however their full catalogue is not always listed online. If a part you are seeking is not listed, it may be worth making contact to confirm if it is something that they can supply.
