Finding a take-off set has been impossible lately. The best quote Ive gotten from a dealer is a little over $2K for a set with the 25% discount advertised on this site.

Any other ideas?

Used 172s in good condition are pretty hard to come by. Your best bet is the dealer. GL.

You could try buying them in the UK and shipping. With the exchange rate it may be cheaper?

You are not going to find new OEM 172s for less thab $2K from a dealer.

Used OEM 172s are tough to find because most 550i Sport owners (from MY 2008-10) are like me, really like their 172s and would not part with them.

The only other option is rep 172s. There is a thread on here about buying them.
