ECS wanted $80 for two belts shipped to my door. Not bad, but same price as FCP after their free shipping. So just depends whom you want to support

a genuine belt cost $130 from BMW dealer in Oz and that was 7 years ago......

Nearly the same price as a genuine stock belt?! That's awesome! Ordering two!

A "Genuine" BMW stock belt says "Contitech" right on it ;)

It says "will be available on Jan 20th"

Probably placed a huge order lol hence why they can offer them at $5 cheaper than most places thus far...

I have 27 of these coming to me in a day or 2 from gates. Shoot me a pm :)

just got shipping info from FCP that my belt in en route!

wa-hoo!

[IveGotIssues666]

I really feel as if GATES may be waiting too see the popularity of the belt or for supplier NEW and OLD to step up and order 25, 50, or 100 belts at time...

I emailed all those companies above some of which have responded saying they have sent emails regarding this to their wholesale division that handles GATES belts so we'll see... I'm sure I'll get more responses on monday.

I'm going to contact my friend over at FCP and see what happened, he told me they were getting them "in stock" not made to order...

My last correspondence with FCP:

Jared,

Thanks for the inquiry. The belt is made to order and would be about a 2-3 week turn around time before it can ship. Let me know how you would like to proceed.


Thanks
