I just got a quote on an expansion tank R1800, I can get genuine BMW from ECS for $110, including shipping and duties it still works out to half for the same thing.
BMW South Africa needs to wake up as guys like me are just buying everything original straight out the USA. What I like as well is they always have in stock where here it's always ex Germany which is three weeks average.
I get the stuff from the USA average 10 days.
Now who gives the better deal? Third party USA resellers are out performing BMW ZA in their own original parts dept...... stupid situation actually, it shouldnt happen.
