My Ride: 06 525xi Jet black sprint booster ACS front lip
Default

I was searching for a SB for my car on the internet and found this site: http://www.sprint-booster.co.uk/default.asp

so they charge 180 (I'm assuming sterlings) = 267 USD (using google )
once I order everything and check out, delivered to the US the cost is coming up as 156 (?sterlings)= 231 USD and that is shipped!

I thought new SB were more expensive.. do you guys think this site is reputable? anyone got one from there?

Is the check out system working well?
It seems you're getting some kind of discount...
The site says free shipping in the U.K.

That's ridiculously cheap. Let us know if everything goes through fine. That place would have a ton of business from here if it does. haha

Should be 1/2 the price they originally want for it considering the worldwide economy is complete SHIT. I'm guessing their sales are in the toilet.

I bought mine from here in August last year. Received the sprintbooster within a couple of days so i can recommend it. The pound has crashed against the dollar over the past few months so UK prices have come down a lot for you guys over the pond.

GL if you decide to go ahead with it.

I love mine but if it costs them $10 to make I would be surprised.

You can get it cheaper here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sprint-Boos...sQ5fAccessories

That's where most people on this forum buy it from. The seller's name is Andy and you can email him directly at sale@partsexporter.com. There's a small chance he might waive the shipping fee for you too. A while back, I worked with him to do a group buy for this forum for $250 shipped but since then, prices has gone up. This is why I said the $230 price is an awesome deal.
