Yeah, 7zap has been a problem for awhile.

I am using https://superetka.com/etka/
You need to create an account though.

 

There is https://superetka.com/elsa/ also.
If you pay you get Vin decoder also and you can look at the part numbers applied to your car only.

 

I use LLLParts for their parts diagrams and numbers. Illustrations are really good and navigating the parts lists/diagrams is pretty easy once you figure out the system.
Only issue for me is I have to use a VPN to access them from Germany. Fortunately Proton VPN is free and works just fine.

Oh cool thanks guys, I hadn't realised LLL had a parts catalogue--easy enough to use them now!

Also Super ETKA look good as well...seems like mostly free and even the paid fees seem to be only $25/yr (though I'm not sure what currency--I'm going to assume US?). I don't get how 7zap went not so much just from free to paid but from free to pretty hefty prices. But anyway good there are more free ones out there.

 

You also get full ELSAWIN implementation, which is quite useful. Definitely worth the low annual fee. I personally run PETKA on my laptop and have offline VINs (with all PR codes) to check. I can change PR codes around and figure out what parts I need. It also provides free updates (including 100% accurate prices). You can get a license and download at digital-eliteboard.

But for Elsawin I have no alternative. The installation barely works on windows 10 and I can't install the newer updates. So superetka is a great alternative provider.

 

Could we pay for a shared forum log-in for 7zap, or is that really unfeasible?

 

Sub to superetka instead, it's fairly cheap. You get prices, VIN decoder, ELSAWIN, TPIs, etc. The free version is also great, with the limitation of no part pricings or VINs (or saved vehicles).

 

I also discovered this issue some months back too!
Seemingly unlike anyone else, I have swapped over to using: https://www.realoem.com/
There is a tab on the front page for anything non BMW - Direct link: Spare parts catalog > Parts catalogs > nemigaparts.com
Just RealOEM is far easier to remember when throwing it in the search engine!

Seeing the other posts in here nice to know there is another free alternative in using LLL too, so more than just one option there.

 

Seems like they run a very very old database (up to MY2017), so big chance that it will show obsolete/dropped parts and not their newest replacement.
