KO Performance - UPDATE on Genuine BMW Parts Pricing - MOSTLY UP :(... but a few down

[KO-SALES-TEAM]

KO Performance Press Release
for release 1/09/2008

KO has discovered that BMW is at it again... with increasing prices that is.

BMW has historically increased pricing on large sections of their part #s starting in Q1 of each year, and unfortunately 2008 is no different so far.

KO witnessed at least 3 distinct Genuine BMW price increases in 2007, and the first of 2008 is upon us unfortunately.

Here's a summary of what we've seen so far (this update seems to be rolling out in the BMW system as of yesterday / this week):

Total Items With Increases = 133
Average Increase = 30.9%

We have already seen this first round of increases negatively affect all of us in the BMW game, however there is a modicum of good news....

Total Items With Decreases = 6
Average Decrease = -21.1%

So... we can thank them for giving us all a lift in these days of high gas prices, and a weaker dollar on six parts... but there's still those other 133 parts they decided to go the other way with.

We expect that there will be at least 2 more price increases from BMW in the next 3-5 months.

KO looks forward to helping you save money in 2008.

I'm thinking of trying KO for the first time for my next purchase of parts only cause of your presence here. I'd so much rather buy from a true BMW enthusiast then a nameless/faceless company.

The person who notified us of that us out of the office today. The e-mail we got just shows the stats. I will see if I can pull out the actual part numbers for you.

george, whenever you're ready just shoot us an e-mail or give us a call. :)
