I got the quote back from Garry and he only did about $300 better for a total of around $3,200 for the aero kit and all associated additional parts.

Let me know how it works out. I'm in the area too. I wonder how much the bmw dealer with the bmwcca discount will come out to be.

gary has the best pricing on this .. i got mine from my local dealer for about $300 more with taxes and shipping differences. these boxes barely fit in a 8' bed pick up. that parts list looks about accurate . here's what i figured out. they never lci'ed the m kit. so in effect what i did is put a pre lci a bumper front and rear so the m kit would fit.

Tischer's "normal" prices work out to about a 30% discount anyway, so they don't honor BMWCCA on top of that. As I said previously, Garry does have the best price technically (by a thin margin), however, your miniscule savings are cut drastically when you have to pay him for shipping the items ($200 flat rate). Even then you have to ship to a commercial address and be ready to accept a large crate, etc. I'd rather spend an additional few dollars and pick the items up from Tischer directly

I emailed Bekkers to find out more about their kit. They claim to offer the COMPLETE OEM kit with everything needed for $2,098. I'm weary though because if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I sent the BMW part numbers and asked them to verify their kit includes everything listed.

No $ales tax if you live out of state. I live in VA, but Tischer is about 45 minutes from me in MD. Every little bit helps!

Lucky you, I'd asked them about the same deal with picking up the oil, and they told me only way around not paying tax was to ship, if pickup I'd have to pay the tax.

From Tischer? WTF? I'll have to check my old receipts, but I'm nearly certain I've never paid MD sales tax to them.
