Not strictly E30... I was ordering a clutch kit for my E21 today, checked the price on CP4L first - £114, it was £147.60 on ECP website.

The important thing for me is that I can collect parts and not have to wait in for the delivery, so I was always wanted to collect it from my local ECP. Asked the bloke what discount he could do, mentioning the price on their sister site, bit of tapping and came back with a price match of £114. Always worth asking! :D

Meatballs82 on here is Matt at ECP, he will get you the best prices as well.

He's based out of Leicester though i think.

Yeah, read nothing but good about his service. Thing is I just can't be around for the delivery or waste time waiting for another if I miss one. Can you collect from your local if you order via meatballs82?

No it has to come from him, the courier (local chap ive known for a few years) told me if the sender writes a note on the label they will leave it in a 'safe place' to save you waiting around

Not strictly true, Matt has sorted me out a couple of bits in a hurry that I have collected from my local Derby branch that he has had either delivered there or they had it in stock 8)

The service is second to none
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I can deliver to your work address if thats any help in the future?

I don't mind arranging collections at other branches occasionally (or all the effing time, hey ferg! winkeye )

But it takes time, of which I don't have much! I figure if I do all the work I want the sale for my branch, so I can retire at 31 winkeye
