WTF! I couldn't believe it but it is true. My local BMW dealership just sent me a quote for almost USD$9,400 for the front bumper, sideskirt and back bumper.

No wonder I've only seen one E60 here with this mod.

Is it me or is this completely nuts?
A bit higher then Dubai dealership prices, but not much.
