Old News, Fake News? Friend got an email saying such, called and their phone is disconnected. Out of the blue, no fire sale?
M5bb totally agree. As for part prices, we should all be happy our E9s are as uncomplicated as they are. My friend has a 2004 530 with adaptive headlights. The actuating mechanisms break, and there are several, they all have to be "re-programmed" whenever repaired. New headlight units are $1200, each. Finally found someone who cut holes in the plastic cases and fixed the actuators. Wow. I thought D-jet was hard.Is ECS the one that bought the parts part of Turner and also Pelican?
I think this is a testimony on how current BMW owners are no longer enthusiasts. They lease the cars or their company does and they aren't buying accessories or anything for that matter.
As the new cars continue to get more complicated the home mechanic is becoming a dinosaur. This is fine with all the car companies as they would just as soon not have to sell parts to consumers.
This has been discussed a lot because they would not have any liability issues when the consumer is out of the picture. And we all know the lawyers run the show. So hold on to your parts or pants or whatever cause times they are a changing.
