Hopefully by now people know how this Group Buy is designed to work.

But this one is slightly different. For every order in this Group Buy I will donate ?5 in YOUR name to the forum. Lomag will then upgrade your Group to the elite "Contributors". That way your status in the community increases and the community benefits as well.

----------------

The way it will work is as follows. The Group Buy will run until we have the number of people interested or if the time runs out. That way if we don't make the number of people then everyone still gets a discount depending on the number of people who have joined and paid.

The selling price of the V6 to this forum is ?250 GBP.

So starting at ?250 GBP for every person that joins the Group Buy the price will drop by ?2 until the price gets to ?185 GBP at which point the Group Buy stops. So this is your chance to save a massive ?65 off the price of the V6. DHL express shipping is included and you can decide if you want them sent to you or be included in your lights package.

This Group Buy will end on 31st July 2009 unless the Group Buy has already reached the maximum discount possible because all people have joined AND PAID.

I will be invoicing people via Google Checkout and the invoice will be in GBP only. I can accept Cheques or Bank Transfer too for UK members only. Paypal will cost ?5 more because of the added fees involved. UK people will ?10 less than the Group Buy amount due to reduced shipping charges.

--------------

I have also negotiated a great deal on the LCI lights themselves. If we get atleast 6 people from this Group Buy interested in the lights then I can get the lights shipped direct to you from Germany. Payment is directly to the seller Heiko Bauer [heiko.bauer@VR-Web.de] via Paypal and I'm making nothing from this. BMW parts are due to increase by about 5-10% from the 1st of July 2009 so I don't know what the price for these will be yet (neither does Heiko).

So if you sign up to both then you're looking at massive saving on the package.

---------------

So best to start list and put the current value of the item next to their name and if you want the tail-lights too. The first person to sign up will have to pay the full ?250 GBP but then every person joining after that will start putting the discounts on the entire Group and as noted I will then donate ?5 for each person to the forum as well.

I had so many requests to start another Group Buy so am surprised that there has been no response to this. Especially one which will help the forum as well with its Donations.

If you are looking for the cheapest upgrade then I'd suggest you buy your lights from Gary in the US itself. Heiko doesn't know what the prices will be next month.

A lot of people have asked if I can provide the Group Buy but with immediate delivery. Well I cannot do that because then it wouldn't be a Group Buy would it. However if it helps I can do the following. You add your name to the list here, I will charge you the full price and deliver immediately then when the Group Buy ends I will refund the amount of money that the Group Buy has saved you. I don't think I can be fairer than that.

I've asked Heiko to give me prices for the lights. I'm sure now he will know what the post July spare parts prices are.

News just in from Heiko.

The prices for the lights will be 375 EUROS after the 15-07-09. Before that I'm sure he will honour the old price of 340 EUROS. I'm trying to see if I can negotiate him down further.

Air shipping 55 EUROs, and Sea is 35 EUROs to USA

Paypal payments will be 4% more.

Hello, I'm in for this great deal.
Bruce, about the lights I think I will wait to see if you can get a better price although it's a good one.
