    Got Lucky!

    Check out the condition of my timing belt... loooks like it could have snapped any minute. I'm so glad I decided to change it. This IS the reason you always do a timing belt change when you get a new BMW.

                It won't be cheap.

                  Just pay for shipping and it's yours.

                    Talk about being the master of knowing when to pull-out.

                        Would you split the shipping ? I feel like paying all the shipping is a little unfair.

                        Something like a 52/47 spilt seems reasonable.

                          What about the last 1%? Who pays that?

                            The shipper, obviously. They need to have some skin in the game to ensure safe delivery.
