BMW Accessory Price MADNESS!

[Hugo_za]

So my car has no cup holders since the original clip-in one was not present when I bought it. This is what it looks like:



As you can see, it is a shiny plastic kinda thing that pops into a slot on the passenger side of the gear shift. Now guess the price.

R13'500! I kid you not! Even the parts guy on the phone said that he would double check because it could not be right but the price was correct!

On eBay they easily go for over ₤100, but none of the sellers want to ship to SA.

Part no.17... R1375. This is just a simple plastic strip on the E30 bumper and it's just for the one side.

:yuck:

I wanna meet the man/woman who makes up these prices, for any car 13k for a cupholder is riduclous.

Unless its made of special materials like Shark Spleen or Unicorn Liver then ill understand

beemers are expensive out the shop and to maintain them, the least they can do is give affordable extras and accessories to their customers at a better price:yuck:

 

[ChefDJ]

Cheaper option: don't but anything to drink :biglol:

 

[Hugo_za]

I have posted a message on the BMW South Africa Facebook page asking for someone from BMW to please justify the price to me.
