e30 parts shipped to Mexico for less than in US

[parkerbink]

I moved to Mexico with my 90 325ic on the way a jerk threw a rock through the window. I figured it would be impossible to get as the e36 was the first car sold here so I researched prices and found it for 111.00 at a dealer in Texas that wouldn't ship it here. I went to the dealer, gave a 1500 peso deposit and waited. 30 days later my window came for 847.00 pesos (95.71 at current exchange which is high)

How is it possible to get a door window shipped from Germany for less than American dealers are charging??

us dealers make a 200% markup on in stock items, and even more on special order

That would do it, the window was special order at all the dealers in the U.S. I called.

I know the mark-ups as I work at the dealer... its not 200%, it varies from 30%-400% depending on the part. Bolts are 300-400% marked-up but bigger parts are smaller mark-ups.

ryan can you give me the part number for the wheels that attach to the rails on the passenger window on a 90 e30 convertible? I replaced my window today and they were flat on one side.

Thanks

none the less they mark stuff up a shit load... especially for special order parts

anyone know where I can get the part number of the wheels that attach the power window mechanism to the rails on the passenger window on a 90 e30 convertible?

The dealer is not too helpful here (Mexico) I hope that if I bring the part number they can order it.

Thanks
