Anyone ever price an interior light bulb at BMW?

Two ballasts and two hid bulbs for an e46 is 1100 bills.

Try getting a price for a replacement hood for a VIper . . .

all the salesmen at my dealership drive e46 m3 comps. no joke, it's like they had a group buy on them. there's probably 15 or so parked on the street every day before i go to work.

Im not surprised.

yup.

also - fuck the salesman at the dealer. I never talk to any of them. The parts guys know me and my dad on a first name basis and are always chill. Shit, sometimes they'll just give me the little stuff I need so they don't have to run the invoice. I had one salesman look at my red e30 m3 and say, "so have you considered trading up to an e46 sedan?" I looked at the guy like he was an idiot and simply told him, "it's not fast enough." The guy almost shit his pants - and didn't have a good response. The thing I love most about the dealership salesman is when they take lunch break and get into their 1980's or early 90's American POS.

I get a nice discount at the dealer because I work there. Brake pressure regulator-list is $104. I got it fot $68. WORD

It'll be nice when E30s are bring restored. I don't mind paying $5 for a bulb, but $15 is insane. BTW, can you get me a brand new S14 for $7.50? Thanks.

if im still alive in 20 years which is doubtful i will sell parts to e30 owners. but right now they are 1500 dollar cars that broke ass kids own. in 20 years people will be restoring these and willing to invest a dime to keep them on the road. the way it is now you offer a part at a price cheaper than any online distributor and half the emails you get are "can you do better? im a broke college kid eating ramen noodles"
fuck that. 02,e9 owners are older with a couple dollars to spend and dont try to chisel you everytime you turn around.

New bosch o2 sensor for my 318i was only $30-40 from bma, but it's a single wire o2.

[e30sd]

My dealership on the other hand is a bunch of dickheads who whenever I walk in the door after pulling in in my E30, look at me like I just rolled up in that convertible Pinto that Smokey drives in Friday.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Im not surprised.

Center BMW Wholesale FTW.

I get shit anywhere from 20-50% off + no tax + everything is in stock.

Plus the dealer is a few blocks from where I live. They also will deliver anything in less than 4 hours to any shop.

heck at the dealership I work at 4 of the 7 mechanics drive e30s, and one of the parts guys does too. The other 2 drive e34 318s with the sweet ass M43 in em.
yep, it must be nice to own a dealership.

Josh, can you PM me more information about the foxbody mustang O2 sensor?

[Jean]

I went there today in hopes they'd have one in stock, expecting it to be $5 or less. They had none in stock and it costs an amazing $15.50 from BMW. I went to Autozone and picked up 2 similar bulbs for $3.99. I was stunned when he told me how much it cost, the parts guy was also pretty surpised it was so damn expensive. Crazy ripoff price FTL.

This is for just a light bulb near the oh shit handle ? I think you can buy that whole light fixture/assembly for $15 from online retailers lol
