    My god $tealer - 340 buck for spark wires?

    OK - I expect a mark up - 2 dollars a bolt - 20 bucks for a oil pan gasket. You pay for them stocking it - and for fast and good service - BUT $340 for spark plug harness!

    Bend me over and call me a girl's name - "you want lube with that dorthey?"

    LOL -

    C'mon man, it's the super secret BMW resistor plug wires, they're made of gold, or some shit.

    Hell, order them online, you're still looking at 160-180 bucks.

    I snagged plug wires for the white beast van this past weekend, 19 bucks. I'm starting to see the "upside" to domestic vehicles.

            Crown BMW in Greensboro, NC quoted me $196.56 through their site. Not great, but certainly better than $340.00

              When it's $20 something for an inch by inch gasket that is $1.12 elsewhere you know you only resort to the dealer if you absolutely have to. I think I paid an ungodly amount for wires on my eta... I don't know why, I think I threw them away.

                      The only time I buy anything from the dealer is when my buddy Josh grabs it for me at cost. Having a buddy who is a service tech has its benefits.

                        Only thing Ive gotten from a dealer is a radio code. Funny thing was they told me it was going to cost 25 bucks. I managed to get out of that but I thought it was rediculous.

                          i dont see why autozone or kragen doesnt start making bmw wires, i'd think there would be a large market for them.
