New BMW owner, looking for OEM parts source

I'm about 6 months into owning my first BMW motorcycle, and am using my northern winter downtime to make some changes to the bike.

My F750GS came with an aftermarket windshield that had to go due to heavy buffeting. I chose to replace it with a Givi Airflow, which has been great for me on my V-Strom. In doing the replacement this weekend, I realized the rubber windshield grommets and metal bushings from the original windshield were never used on the aftermarket screen.

I'm looking to include those parts on my install, but my old go-to parts sources for the Suzuki are coming up dry for BMW OEM parts. Where can I turn for the BMW? Hopefully I can find a source with a good parts fiche, as those have proved invaluable on past bike projects.
 
Welcome to BMW and BMWMOA!

Do you have a relationship with a dealer? That would be the first stop, I’d think. Beyond that, there are a number of BMW parts fiches on the net, and it’s pretty common for folks to look up numbers then call their dealer or order online.
Some sources:

MaxBMW: https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/partsfiche.aspx

Bob’s BMW: https://www.bobsmotorcycles.com/microfiche/

RealOEM: https://realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select?product=M&archive=0
This is a fiche site only, no sales or ordering.
Note that prices, and sometimes availability, are out of date on this site (catalog date 12/2019). The main reason some of us use it is because it’s often a faster and more direct site for looking up or cross-referencing a part number or linking a parts diagram, especially on the older bikes. For more accurate price/availability see the first two sites.

Best,
DeVern
 
Thanks for the suggestions.

Unfortunately my nearest dealer is 90 minutes away, so not super-convenient.

However, using your links I found what I needed on Bob's site in just a few minutes.

Parts are ordered and on the way.
 
If you search "BMW motorrad parts online" you will get a lot of choices. I have found BMWestore and several others to show lower prices than MAX or Bob's. Google is your friend.
 
When I reworked by GS, I imported two boxes of genuine BMW parts from Europe Moto (dealer in south France). Even with import duty and shipping (2 day DHL), it was ~40% less than what I’d pay here:
