guys ... this just in from James Clay at Bimmerworld

Industry Braces for Massive Bilstein Price Increase

We're emailing as a Bimmer Public Service Announcement to let you know that a very large price increase is scheduled to take place on February 15, 2019. Essentially all pricing for Bilstein shocks and struts (for all Authorized Dealers, not just BimmerWorld) is going to JUMP up 15-25%, overnight. While this won't affect everyone, if you were contemplating buying a set of Bilstein shocks or coilovers in March or April, we suggest you don't wait and buy them RIGHT NOW to lock in the pre-update pricing.

I don’t need this kind of pressure right now. There is a pun in there somewhere.

 

[rsporsche]

Markos, you do know that a pun is the lowest form of humor. c'mon, you can do better than that.

There is always Koni.

I am "shocked".

To my knowledge, there are no more new Koni shocks available for the e9, e3, or the early e12's in the US, or maybe the world (info from Koni USA about 3 weeks ago).

PS: Edited for clarification per Scott's question below.

 

[rsporsche]

Gary, i presume that is just for e9 ... not Koni in general (like going out of business)

Dampens my plan to use vendor storage until I absolutely needed them.
