The armrests seem to be cheaper in the US but I don't think there is enough of a margin to make it worth while.
Bonnet bra would be good.

$89.84 = Ԛ£52.00 hmmm and they don't even have a photo of it on an E30
Does cover the whole front end though not just the bonnet.

most things are cheaper to get over there clothes, CD's ect. But one thing I found that is good is tools. Look at Sears.com at the Craftsman stuff alot cheaper than buying tools over here and they currently have a sale on.. I know I loaded my case up with tools. Prob nothing to make much of a profit if you wanted to sell them on but if you need them then its worth it. (ive just kitted my self out :) )

My best bargain was when I treated myself to a Kona DawgMatic. They were Ԛ£1300 over here and they were $1300 in the US so got one. then I sold it a year later in the UK for more than I paid for it. :)

what i have found as a loose rule is if its Ԛ£200 here is $200 there.. not always true but a lot of the time it is.

Happy shopping.. :D
