For factory parts, go JPLV all the way. ~24% less than MSRP, a WHOLE LOT less than local dealers with their added ~25% markup on top of MSRP. You'd be shocked to find out getting parts from these guys sometimes cost the same as aftermarket parts.

Fuel Filter: For any filters, I solely go with Mann-Filter products, they're the OEM supplier for Jaguar, Mercedes and BMW. German made. Look up the part numbers on here and then order from Amazon.

Plugs, get the best Bosch makes from Rockauto (~$2.50 each).

Battery, I'm loving the AutoCraft Gold Battery from AdvanceAuto. Debated against the Bosch from Pep Boys until the the employee there told me it's not even made my Bosch.

For the rest, again go factory or aftermarket from Rockauto if the price difference is substantial.

Good luck.
