OK, but I don' think that's it, as Saab has always been very good about this as well (witness the suspension parts and some interior pieces which have had decades-long runs). If anything, the Saab pieces should be cheaper if that's the reason, because if it's not the tried and true Saab design, it should in theory be a shared with GM design, right? I don't know. Maybe BMW parts are needed more often on the used market, so they're easier to predict purchasing patterns & stock them? If you crash less, you'll need less fixem parts?
