BMW Parts Prices NEW SHOCKER...

[DanThe]

I think in that situation id be fitting EBC pads for a fifty and carbon wings for another money saver

[HairyScreech]

ford have a habit of doing things like that, its one of the reasons i avoid working with or on any of the "special" fords.

even some of their more normal bits are stupid.
puma seat cover - only available as a whole seat - £800+ then vat on top. i told them to forget it.

i have a new shocker, enquired today about how much the white strip is with the bulbs in it for the 13 button OBC. Oldskool common obc prob! They're were choppy @ £21 not long ago, but £20 if you can't solder isn't frightening is it.

Try £60 plus VAT. Where the f**k do BMW get off?

Supply and demand or they see what all the zoners are saying is common faults and increasing the prices of these items.

[DanThe]

TBH there is no way I would even consider a resto nowadays, the way they have blatantly jacked the prices up is nothing short of attempted robbery.....

[Simon13]

With a a little hindsight i think i started my resto a little late, but i've sure saved a few quid compared to if i started now.

I'm still in shock. Dealer also only has 20% max they could give on it till their at their cost price from BMW.

All E30 parts bar body panels are max 20% till cost price!

I enquired as to the cost of a 63ltr fuel tank a couple of week back whilst I was collecting some bits £563.00

[cro320]

front bumper trim facelifted - 68 quid per side

[bss325i]

Shadow line gutter trims up from £70 each side 3 years ago to £130!

[DanThe]

front bumper trim facelifted - 68 quid per side

It was under £20 a few years ago, I declined it

The fuel tanks are a joke...
Even the GSF tank at £175+ is overpriced as its inferior, especially where any engine over 2.5 litres needs fuel at a constant pressure

I need a pair of front trim but almost 150 quid for two pieces of plastic, sorry but no chance

[DanThe]

I left mine on when I weighed the car in!

[fingerman]

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

Did Dave serve you - was he not embarrassed?

Even a 10% wouldn't make much difference there.

Anyway, I spoke to him a few weeks ago as I was after replacing the heated mirror glass on my E34 - £47 each side + vat which I decided not to go for

He said 'good job you've not got an X5 as they're £290 + vat each'

[DanThe]

Anybody bought maplight mirror bulbs recently?

[Simon13]

never had one go so far

[kieran325]

Just picked up a few goodies today -



How much for a piece of plastic ??

[pacerpete]

I go through plenty of these but usually buy 5 of each at a time. I still have stock but when I last bought some, say october last year I recall they were about £8 each. Obviously not anymore Shock me !

[kieran325]

£21 each

I don't need them but I'm replacing all the arch liners -





Minus the cat.







That little lot cost me £233.

I decided to replace everything underneath the M3

[pacerpete]

Standard arch liners were recently about £18 each (Sport Evolution £70 ) One side went back order for a year so when they became reavailable I stocked up. How much are they now ?

On a positive note, I did recently get 4 M3 bumper bolt caps off partsauction for 56 pence each !

[kieran325]

Are you sat down Pete - 51 71 1 935 841/842 - £43.73 each.

The big part, the screening was £53.03 which I thought was good tbh.

I get discount on them which brings it down a bit

[ruckspin]

I went to the main dealers for air flow meter m20 320i £418.78+vat and then i got one from you lads

[kitch]

I bought a bulb for my map light a little while ago, it was £7.05 I know that's not alot of money, but struck me as a fair wack for 1 tiny bulb.

[DanThe]

Sure they are not more like £17?

[DanThe]

BMW parts van had dropped me a pair of E21 gearbox mounts off today, I was happy I could get on with the job, until I looked at the invoice....



Are they having a fcking laugh? £62 for two cylindrical rubber gearbox mounts
Last time I bought some they were £8 each which I thought was top whack!!

Needless to say the bag wont be getting opened...
Ive ordered some universal mounts to the E21 dimensions for £4 odd each

[Ajsingh]

325i air flow meter.. A lovely 350quid thanks! Blimey

[Andyboy]

1982-85 instrument cluster S.I boards - £1100 plus VAT now apparently..................

[DanThe]

Why do they even price the parts like this? Are there 'really' people out there stupid enough to pay that for a SI board? Surely you would have one custom made for a couple of hundred quid!

[hennabm]

1982-85 instrument cluster S.I boards - £1100 plus VAT now apparently..................

Well at least they seem to be available again. For a good few years they have been NLA.
Even so £1100 is rather steep for a few chips and a couple of batteries.

[bss325i]

£450+vat for a 13 button OBC head unit.

[Rav335uk]

1982-85 instrument cluster S.I boards - £1100 plus VAT now apparently..................

Fook me, I was going to sell my New SI board last week for a lot less, needless toosay it'll be staying in the cupboard for a little longer

[hennabm]

Rav - Is that the three red light version or the single red light one?
