BMW Parts Prices NEW SHOCKER...

[bobski]

my dad rang up through his garage today for a new set of clips for my m tech 2 front valance, door pods and lower skirts £189.00 + VAT

got another price today off cotswold bmw through here, they're coming in at £289.00 now bonding agent it will be then!!

[DanThe]

Are you ordering a 'fitting kit' or something? Cant you just buy the clips you need individually?

[bobski]

yeah thats what i asked for through my dads garage and through cotswold bmw on here.
i need all the clips for side pods and lower skirts and the front lower valance.

[DanThe]

The clips for the front valance came to about a tenner when I did mine a few years ago, look on realoem and price the part numbers individually

[bobski]

yeah thats what i,ve just done, written down the numbers and going to give them to my dad to ring again but how do i know how many i need as they are priced individually?

[DanThe]

There is usually a quantity listed, or you could count the holes on the kit to be certain

[bobski]

oh yeah havent even looked at the reverse of the kit yet cheers danthe did you buy an e30 related item a few years back off me?? i remember you coming to my house in your e30 thats in your pic?

[DanThe]

Yeah I bought a cab roll bar, the 4 door is dead now, had too many transferable parts to make my 2 door chromie nicer

This is for the secondary Alarm/lock on a prefacelift , i only wanted the holding clip,
which cannot be bought seperately.
Good job i managed to find it. Incidentally, this does not include the outer base or cover,
which is nearly another 70 sovs on top. /

£226 for a lock barrel is impressive.

I recently bought a new propshaft doughnut. I can't remember exactly how much it was but IIRC it was over £50+VAT including my 10%.

Brand new m20b25 - £3050 - Got the price last week and that had £400 discount

I think that is REALLY GOOD value. A NEW GENUINE BMW M20B25 Normally-aspirated straight six engine. This is a bargain!

Which dealer quoted this?
How much is it to fit?
A FULL REBUILD is much more expensive? How much is a rebuild?

My E46 323Ci Coupe Manual gearbox had an oil pump failure. Some of the engine internals are damaged. BMW (Berry Chiswick) dealer quoted £8000ish to find a NEW GENUINE BMW M52 Normally-aspirated straight six engine. The car has FBMWSH with 125000 miles!

318is Pas Belt £14.92 EX Vat

318is Air Filter £14.42 Ex Vat

and these are all with discount

What the Fook

[pony]

Loads of stuff has gone up, the coonts are rising us for all its worth winding me up everything seems to be getting expensive E30 wise now

A E30 is still a BMW. NEW Genuine BMW parts are still expensive like the newer BMWs!

Just be thankful BMW E30s are so much cheaper to buy than E46 cars especially E46 M3 Coupes!

[Alex]

realoem lists the bit of bumper trim on the passanger side as $25 usd or there abouts so i was expecting to pay £20 at most as mine is scraped..... Its nearly £50

[StuBeeDoo]

A FULL REBUILD is much more expensive? How much is a rebuild?

I've recently done a full rebuild using mostly genuine BMW parts, including a new camshaft, for £1700 all in.

[Royalratch]

318is Pas Belt £14.92 EX Vat

318is Air Filter £14.42 Ex Vat

and these are all with discount

What the Fook

Are you kidding me? You think that;s a rip off? What do you want to pay £3 each for genuine gear?

I recently bought a new propshaft doughnut. I can't remember exactly how much it was but IIRC it was over £50+VAT including my 10%.

You as well!??

These are not scandalous prices guys - get in the spirit of this thing. The thread is Parts Price SHOCKERS.

I think the lock barrel is up there at the top...

once postage and vat is added it comes to £20.54.

£20 for a fooking Fan belt, Take a reality check here Ratch

I can get them for £2 with trade card in halfords. which i did

[Royalratch]

Reality check? It's not like an iS costs a lot to run dude, why are you putting Halfords shite in there?

For the sake of £18 I'll go genuine.

did you rebuild it yourself?
where did you get it rebuilt it not?

Yeah best to put in NEW GENUINE BMW parts as much as possible! There is a two year UNLIMITED mileage warranty with the parts as well.

My price shocker is for E30 325i Sport MTechnic I Manual gearbox:

Limited Slip Differential: £1500 + VAT
Close-ratio Manual gearbox: £2200 + VAT

(if a Normally-aspirated straight six M20B25 engine is under £4000 that is a BARGAIN!)

[Andyboy]

A fan belt made by either Gates or Contitech, with a BMW roundel. Contitech belts are about a fiver.....

[Royalratch]

But that does nothing for my superiority complex does it Andyboy.

[CaesarBob]

I know this isn't on the scale of some prices but £22 for 13 tiny bulbs seems pretty steep to me.

[DanThe]

You must be mad buying bulbs from BMW

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-BULB-286-DASH ... 1485wt_913

[Royalratch]

Nah. Pound a bulb isn't that nuts in light of other stuff.

I bought a pack of like 50 of those bulbs on eBay for £5 or so.

Sorry, only just seen this post.
I did all the stripping and re-assembly, except for popping the pistons and crank back in the block and lapping-in the valves which the machine shop did as part of their "package".

I quite impressed myself actually. From having a short motor and a pile of bits on the floor, I had it all in and running again in under 18 hours. If you ever saw the speed I normally work at you'd be impressed too.

[Dezzy]

Had a little bit of a cry today.

Anyone rebuilding an M50 be aware that the chain tensioner is £50 odd plus vat from BMW. Also they are not stocked by any of the aftermarket specialists.
Febi do them but charge any of the aftermarket supliers a £15 carrage on single items.

Also the only aftermarket timing cain comes with split links, which i dont like the idea of. Dealer parts only for most of the rebuild

[ShepsEvo3]

BMW prices are ok actually.. I've just bought a Mk1 Focus RS and the parts for that from Ford are horrendous.. here is just a few items..

Front Brake pads.. £350+
Weighted front pads, (quieter) £400+
Front wing... try nearly £1k!!! UK M3 Evo Sport wings are under £200 and are even more exclusive!

Sir Henry.. it's a bleeding FORD FOCUS ffs!

Mine doesn't need front wings, but I like to gather these parts while they are still available.

[toby]

That is absolutely extortionate pricing from Ford (assuming it is Ford you are buying it from)!
