      They have 8mm silicone wire sets for your car for $85.

      I have their wires on my car.

        I got the bavauto 8mm wires for my car over the summer. Put them on and the wires were arcing so badly that the car barely ran. I sent them back and got a refund.

                how come the eta wires are so much cheaper than the wires for the 325i. i would like a nice set of wires for my i, but i can't spend 130$ right now.

                  $130 is CHEAP, and they are very good quality wires.

                    i have the IE wires...seems to work great...for $130.
                    reason why its more pricey than the 325e wires is because the 325i wires include the pulse sensor wire too.

                        FYI - Thats the biggest waste of $130 you can spend. Fuck, send it to me and I'll videotape myself lighting the stack of bills on fire and mail you a DVD copy.

                        plug wires arent going to do anything for you unless you're running a HIGHLY modified engine and you're looking to squeeze every possible .1hp out of it.

                        save your money. or just buy some new OEM wires if you really need them.

                            oh, well nevermind then.
                            I forget 90% of you dont get stuff at cost.

                            My mistake. ;)

                            Still a waste though. Its just another mod to add to the sig pic along with "Euro Trim, white gauges, Tucked diving boards" IMHO of course..

                              that's great.. but not everyone worries about a $10 price difference. besides, the red wires would match my strut brace ;)
