eliongater 718 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 Not quite. Need them for the camber/toe adjusters I'm getting for my E28 (because I like a good alignment as much as the next guy). https://store.garagistic.com/Complete-camber-toe-correction-kit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 BMW NZ tends to be be okay (if not expensive) for these types of odd bits and pieces I've found. You might pay $20 more than from FCP but you'll probably get them within 24 hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliongater 718 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 @M3AN lead time isn't too important, more concerned with price (hence looking for other options) as I'm not keen on spending >$100 on 4 bolts... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Didn't realise they were so expensive! A little less expensive at Schmiedmann (although not sure on shipping): https://old.schmiedmann.com/en/product/1968396-new?product=33-32-1-095-102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Well, it's 45% more expensive which is certainly significant and in my opinion is a huge difference. BMW NZ's spare parts prices are simply not justifiable. Even when the import rules change next year they'll still be wildly more expensive than overseas options. I realise their stock is really to provide for their dealer networks but it's the very definition of price gouging. If they actually sold parts for a small (reasonable) margin above what BMW Ag charges they could have quite the little side business I would think. But they'd have to get rid of their stupid 3 week delivery timeframe and ship to order. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1061 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 BMW AG charges BMW NZ who then charges the local franchises who need to make a profit somehow. It's a business model setup from AG rather than BMW NZ issue they have little say it how it all works. Alot of stuff is well priced but some stuff varies differently Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
