Thumbs up

That's what I'm being quoted for paint and install the kit itself is $1280...I know the kit price is great...what about the paint and install? This would be done by the body shop at a local BMW dealership...and they have already done a couple of them

Yea for real, can you let us know where to get it for that price? I think we should do a group buy.

I am paying GBP 1325 for the kit with paint and install, including the M5 spoiler.. That would be around 2500 US I think..

Crevier BMW internet/fleet sales department is selling the complete kit for $1280. Similar savings can be had on other BMW parts too. Your contact is:

Vaheh Bashikian
Crevier BMW Irvine CA
(714) 835-3171 ext.2275
vbashikian@crevierbmw.com

Keep in mind, shipping will be extra?

Note: I just asked Vaheh if the price would drop if a group buy was pulled together and he said it would ?a little? they are obviously already running a relatively low margin at $1280.

I received a better deal through Concord BMW, kit price was $1,200 + Tax. I am also having the Dealer's body shop do the paint and install for $1490 out the door.

Contact Barry in the parts dept: 925-288-3898

Yep, JMK will do it for $1200 -- talk to Mike -- he's the boss of the body shop. Mention me and he'll remember probably. I asked him afterwards if they'd do it again for that price and he said sure.

Yes, a group buy for M-Kit would be great!
