What is the current price for a set of 4 of these?

I may have found a supplier, of the OEM locks but at a reduced rate. Still not super cheap, but better in my pocket than BMWs :D

Any one need some, they will do them singularly too, I think.

Don't get your hopes too high yet, they are still expensive, but they are the real deal, coming from ze Germans.

£85 ish for a set of 4. Last time I checked they were about £120 from BMW. And they will only sell sets of 4, but I can get individuals.

It depends how many I order.

Its such a 5hit, as they look like they are worth about £3 each :x

I have exhausted all other avenues.

wow £85 is a good price for them, i think i paid around 120-130 inc postage but like you said, bmw only sell them in 4's plus they have to be ordered from germany and theres some waiting time on top...

Ok I'll clear it with the powers that be, and I'll start a group buy. I wasn't sure any aone would be up for it.

There are details I need to finalise with them, such as the keys and the lock bars. But I will do some more research and keep you updated.
