We called and talked to the guy - he had to wait for him to call the source in Munich - we got him to give us a great offer. ?360 for one set, ?350 if we buy two or more.
Right now that comes out to approximately $461 for one set and $448 for 2 or more sets.
The only problem is I do not know exactly how much shipping will be, and won't have an exact figure until I go to Deutsche Post and attempt to send these.
I estimate from packages I have sent in the past it COULD cost from ?40 to ?60 - but I cannot be exact and I do not know what sort of import process/bullshit will take place when these hit customs.
If you are interested I need to tell him tomorrow, and they will be ready for me to pick up early next week.
Let me know!

Told you so
I am doing all of this for zero profit, just to contribute to the board - just so you know. All original receipts for the purchase of the lights at BMW will be included.
PS: I am temporarily and technically eligible to post on this board, haha. I am renting an E61 520d for the next week

I am btw. a postdoctoral fellow in a uni - I definitely have nothing to do with any side of this deal. Please take into account that if you (the buyer I mean) can't handle the risk (whatever it is, customs, DHL losing the packet) involved, don't get involved.

There's nothing definitive enough here for me to place an order.
What I might end up doing is telling the parts guy about this board (assuming he speaks English) and having him post up directly. I assumed trust might be an issue, and with me not knowing what shipping will be, this could be an adventure for everyone involved. Oh well, my heart was in the right place. I will have him offer this deal directly to the board, that way you guys can deal directly with a dealer.
Have a great month!
