Cheap CV Joint Boot Source???

[SpencerM3]

Hey guys,

My half shaft cv joint boots have seen better days (3 cracked, 1 ripped) and its about time to replace them.

From looking around the net, it seems like these aren't as cheap as I thought they would be. BMA is approx $120 for all four boots, which is about the cheapest I could find.

Just curious if anyone knows of a place where I could find these cheaper?

have you tried worldpac?

Yea, bimmerzone.com (worldpac distributor) is about $120 for all four as well.

At this point, i'm thinking about trying to find a way to repair the boots rather than replace them.

Cheaper to buy used halfshafts that have never been cracked/ripped.

Actually, thats an option I have as well. My buddy's got a 325e parts car.

Just need to confirm if the "e" half shafts are the same as the "I" shafts.

If the car has ABS yes.

you can get rebuilt half shafts for about $65 plus core charge from BMA

I ordered mine from bimmerparts.com, and they never charged me for them. Otherwise it was going to be about $90 for the rears, which didn't seem to bad to me..
