best places to buy parts

[marchad]

ok i was looking around i heard that lowendesign isn't very trustworthy. It sells an m-tech body kit replica for 1200 and its pretty tempting

[smithy318i]

Iv'e been told lowendesign is a rip off, dont' go there.
But unfortunatly i can't recommend anywhere.

Welcome to the zone mate, personally never heard of them, but that price for a replica is a rip off, you'd be much better off getting a second hand kit from here or e-bay from Ԛ£350+

a new genuine kit from BMW themselves is about that price! at least it would fit properly mate

[marchad]

ok so i can go down to the dealer and ask them for the kit and they would have it

[jaymo]

not there and then obv but they should be able to sort something for you.

One thing you will find out about BMWs is that almost nothing is "no longer available".
My local dealer has always obtained every obscure part I've ever asked for, always within one working day, although I've been told that some parts have to come from Germany.

That's cos BMW realise that a) most of us will buy a new BMW at some point when we can afford it - as long as they havent pissed us off or b) lots of the people who want old parts have bought a new BMW at some point and are returning customers, or have a new BM as well.

[marchad]

do any of you know about how much one of these kits from the dealer might cost.

[Widge]

A Ԛ£1000+ I suppose.

[Brianmoooore]

There's a simple way to find out - ask your dealer.

[Widge]

You must have a very close relationship with your dealer Brian - if he's willing to work on a sunday for you

[Brianmoooore]

I was thinking, might just wait till the morning.

roughtly Ԛ£1500 + VAT so i'm told. Buy a second hand genuine kit for Ԛ£500 tops
