hi,

I am not sure if you can get it in BED format per se, but you could -

  1. Anno file in GTF format from here

    I am assuming you are looking for human. If not, go in here and choose your organism - ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-83/gtf/

  2. And of course you can use BioMart -

    Here too choose your organism.

Once you have used either of the above, you can shuffle the columns of the final file to make a BED i.e.

chr<TAB>Strt<TAB>End

in its simplest form.
