Ryan, What shipping method did you haggle with Heiko, Air or Sea? Because he always gives me the two prices whenever I ask him and there is a big difference between the two prices but also its about 25 days by sea.

Bruce, I have been trying to research the forums how to get in touch with you directly. Anyway, my name is Marvin Caparros from Manila. I own a 2007 520D and I wanted to upgrade my tail lights with the LCI's. I recently bought the tail lights from BMW Van Nuys, CA and unfortunately I was not told that there should be a special upgrade kit for these LCI's to make them work. Would you be kind enough to help me get them and sent to Manila via courier or airmail? I am very much interested since I already have the LCI's with me from my trip and I can't use them until I get your retrofit kits. Kindly send me the information on how much it will cost me for the kit and please include shipping charges so I can make the payment arrangements directly to you.

This is a Group Buy with a slight difference. The reason for the difference is because I often see Group Buys that stall because there is not enough of interest. This won't.
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 likely to be the same as the V5.1 i.e. ?250 GBP or $365 USD or ?280 EURO. This price includes DHL courier shipping.
So starting at ?250 GBP for every person that joins the Group Buy the price will drop by ?3.50 until the price gets to ?180 GBP (20 people) at which point the Group Buy stops. ?180 GBP is about $265 USD, so this is your chance to save a massive $100 USD off the price of the V6.
This kits are exactly as they will go to retail but will not have any fancy labels or packing - all the stuff that you pay for but get no value from.
This Group Buy will end on 31st May 2009 unless the Group Buy has already reached the maximum discount possible because 20 people have joined AND PAID.
The Group Buy is only valid for NON UK members. For UK members I will have a better scheme because the shipping costs are a lot less. I will be invoicing people via Google Checkout and the invoice will be in GBP only, so the price you pay may differ a little bit depending on the exchange rate of that day.
So best to start list and put the current value of the item next to name. 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.

This pic needs to be archived somewhere as a perfect example of the difference between the 2004-2007 and 2008+ LCI back lights!
can you tell me if i can also get zenon lights put in on my car and if it is that easy? I have a 530d on a 2006 plate? I also like the back number plate but i would only get that if I get the zenon lights at the front of the car put in, otherwise it will look out of place and not professionally done?
I am based in UK, leicester and have just bought my new car - loking it so far.
Do you know anything about remaping the car? i am thinking of going for tuning box or DMS but dont really know what to do exactly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
