How to Shop for Parts by Car Make on UroTuning

Updated

To shop by car make on UroTuning, start from the Shop By Make section on the homepage and select your brand: VW, Audi, BMW, Porsche, MINI Cooper, or Mercedes. Each brand entry leads to a page that separates OEM (original equipment) parts from Performance (aftermarket) parts, so you can choose the path that matches your goal before browsing individual components.

Step-by-step: from brand to the right part

  1. Open the Shop By Make section. The homepage lists each make as its own entry with a short label such as "VW Parts — OEM / Performance" or "BMW Parts — OEM / Performance."
  2. Pick your make. Clicking a brand takes you to that make's parts area. This is the main filter — everything after this step is scoped to your vehicle's brand.
  3. Choose OEM or Performance. Within the brand, decide whether you need a replacement part matching factory specification (OEM) or an upgrade (Performance). The homepage presents both options side by side for every make.
  4. Narrow to your vehicle. UroTuning provides a vehicle selector ("Select Your Vehicle") to locate parts that fit your specific model. Use it once you know the brand and the type of part you want.
  5. Browse categories and brands. Parts are organized by category — the site names exhausts, wheels, intakes, belts, brakes, and spark plugs among its offerings — and by featured brands (see below).

Expected result: you land on a filtered set of parts for your make, then refine by OEM vs. Performance, vehicle fitment, category, and brand until you reach a specific product.

What each make page covers

Make OEM parts Performance parts
VW Yes Yes
Audi Yes Yes
BMW Yes Yes
Porsche Yes Yes
MINI Cooper Yes Yes
Mercedes Yes Yes

All six makes are presented the same way, so the OEM/Performance split applies consistently regardless of which brand you drive.

Featured brands you can expect to see

UroTuning highlights a set of brands on its homepage. These are useful as a shortcut if you already know which brand's parts you want:

  • Suspension and handling: H&R Suspension, Solo-Werks Coilovers, Superpro, 034 Motorsport
  • Tuning and engine: APR, Unitronic, Integrated Engineering, Dinan, CTS Turbo
  • Exhaust: AWE Tuning, Milltek Exhaust
  • Wheels: Neuspeed, Konig Wheels, Rotiform Wheels, Apex Wheels, Racingline
  • Other: Velt Sport, Valvetronic, emK Lighting

Brand availability can differ by make — for example, the homepage promotes APR upgrades for VW and Audi and Dinan upgrades for BMW — so confirm the brand appears under your make before assuming a specific product is offered for your car.

Practical tips before you order

  • Check the shipping threshold. UroTuning advertises free shipping on orders over $49, with a linked policy page for details and exclusions. If your order is near that amount, review the exclusions before checkout.
  • Watch for current deals. The homepage lists rotating discounts, such as up to 20% off select APR and Dinan performance upgrades, up to 10% off Solo Werks coilovers, and up to 10% off emK Lighting. These are promotional and change over time, so verify the discount at the product page rather than relying on the banner.
  • Use the vehicle selector for fitment. Brand-level browsing tells you what exists for your make; the vehicle selector tells you what fits your specific model. For brakes, suspension, and wheels especially, confirm fitment before buying.
  • OEM vs. Performance is a real decision. Choose OEM when you want a factory-equivalent replacement; choose Performance when you are upgrading. The site frames its catalog around both, and the distinction is the first meaningful filter after brand.

Common sticking points

  • Brand listed but part not shown for your model. Featured brands are highlighted site-wide, not guaranteed for every make and model. If a brand page looks thin for your car, browse by category instead.
  • Unsure whether a part is OEM or aftermarket. Use the OEM/Performance split at the brand level first, then read the individual product listing to confirm what you are buying.
  • Shipping cost surprises. The free-shipping offer has stated exclusions; check the policy page if your order includes oversized items such as wheels or exhaust systems.

Once you have picked your make and the OEM or Performance path, the vehicle selector and category browsing do the rest of the narrowing.
