dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) I urgently needed the heater pipe from the head to the water valves in my E36, I rang everywhere down here and then tried Jeff Gray BMW in palmy, they said $77 excluding swindle tax and postage....I decided to fire up the computer and ring HellBM, very helpful! $30 including postage! Absolutely brilliant cheers Ray. Edited March 14, 2010 by dirtydoogle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's too true, I usually rely on BNT in masterton, I always get a good deal [trade price] but sometimes it pays to deal with people with some knowledge of the car in question, I get sick of uneducated pre pubescent dimwits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pjay 8 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 Set me back a fair price, as always. Also got my suede door cards through Ray too so it was a no brainer when it came to the saggy hoodlining. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
