Parts is parts. Up to $400 worth, including whatever else you bring back, and you are in duty-free. You are much more likely to be caught up in and bothered by the airport security theater.

It used to be you can buy Euro parts in the US from a BMW dealer.
I don't know if that as changed.
Since the US dollar is worth crap compared to the Euro, it might be a good idea, but I would bring back only stuff you are going to absolutely use.
Do you really want to deal with airport security and customs?
