Wanted:135i Cabrio Carbon Fiber bits

[eltonoliver]

Hi There

Looking for Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser, Boot Lip and Mirror cups for a 135i Cabrio, atleast cheaper than the agents.

What's the best price you guys ever got out there?

Thanks

Regards
Elton.

I got the CF diffuser, mirror covers and front splits for R16k for my 130i. Will see what price I can get it for you

 

[eltonoliver]

Thanks alot man.

Sorry for the delay. The best price I can get for you at the dealer is R30k for the diffuser, mirror covers, boot spoiler, and front splits. The diffuser on its own is R17k.

Hey Carbon, can you get me the Performance Short shift kit at a < dealer price for my 120i Cabrio?

Only thing is I don't know if they fit all models? I know the 128i (which we don't have here) and the 135i have different short shift kit part numbers..So i'm not so sure.

I know they said the 130i SSK fits on all <130i models for the hatch..should be the same?

Cheers

I think it is the same shifter but a different part number for each model/shape. The Performance Kit parts are only for the 1 and 3 series anyway.

Btw, where are you located

30k is ridonculous

it's a pity the 1 series after market isn't huge overseas... then we'll see more companies producing parts for the car

Located in JHB hey

Yeah just wanna make sure it fits first before I decide to go ahead

 

[3V0M-WP]

It will fit. I'll see tomorrow the price

holy f*ckin hell, you could buy a car for the price of that diffuser. GEEZ

It will fit. I'll see tomorrow the price

Good news

But then how come the price's are different for the 135i and the 128i in USA?

128i = $257.07 - http://accessories.bmwusa.com/ItemV...tegoryId=&menuId=0&subItemId=8&productId=1139
PN: 25 11 0 444 657
135i = $399.86 - http://accessories.bmwusa.com/ItemV...tegoryId=&menuId=6&subItemId=7&productId=1140
PN: 25 11 0 444 655

That's a BIG difference.

 

[3V0M-WP]

It is a huge difference. Will confirm tomorrow

I've heard people being charged R1882 just for the boot + knob! Do you know if there's any chance you can get just the shorter selector rod so I could keep the ///M knob.

When I emailed BMW they gave me the price of R 1882.90 (MANUAL). That was a few months ago.. And prices for the performance parts has gone down in the US afaik, so we should see some cheaper prices here too

Cheers man

The kit incl. the boot, knob and the rod. I also wanted to keep the M knob attached but it ended up being to big to fit. I got used to the short knob.

The prices here (SA) on the Performance Kit has doubled in the last 15 months. In Oct '08, I got a price for the Performance exhaust at R8k (normal price), and now (Dec '09) it was R15k (normal price). Its crazy

 

[@ri]

WTF That's insane... Might be beneficial for me to ship the SSK over from the US then? Even for your exhaust maybe?

To big to fit? Hmm hope I prefer the short knob then to my old ///M one then as I'm gonna try shift the ///M knob to fund the perf one

:thumbsup:

 

[3V0M-WP]

You wont believe the price for teh shifter kit. I was even shocked. Its R5k, yes you read it right, R5k. They absolutely crazy.

I reckon ask Daniel from Hamann for his pricing

WHAAAAAAAAT THE F***********CK!!!!???

These guys are insane in the membrane....

Thanks for your help man.. They can shove it where the sun don't shine lol. Appreciate it.

 

[3V0M-WP]

Its a pleasure. I couldnt believe it either.

I should have done the exhaust 16 months ago, for 3rd of current the price
