Just ordered some Bilstein Sports for my highline from the US. Work out at about £290 including delivery. Will be interesting to see what they sting me for in duty, but I have some margin: BMW dealer, with discount, could only get as low as £424.88 - which is almost exactly what the dollar cost (ex delivery) came out at.

The company is called eshocks. At www.eshocks.com . I spent a while looking and it was the only one I could find that could do a complete set of sports. I'm budgetiing for 17.5% duty plus 10% import tax; which should be applied only to the product, not the postage. I'll let you all know how much they get me for when it arrives.

I just need some m635 springs now. Again, BMW quoted about £250 for a full set of springs. Chafe

Hi Rob, yes there is. I mention that in my previous post. They should arrive tomorrow and I'll let you know what the damage is.

Did you get your car back from Finish-line yet? I've some things to tell you - PM me if you get a chance.

Simon

Parcel arrived today. Total charges were £79.57.

 

That's

Import VAT £57.67

Duties £10.90

Handling £11

Still cheaper than BMW UK - and probably quicker too - took about 36 hours from order to delivery.

I've got a very good set of those here - but I want
£125 for them. Fronts are recent replacements and
the rears have good collars (one of them is new).

CLICK HERE first to review what you need.

Bavarian Auto apparently stocks a "Pro-Kit", but they're in the States....
