I'm curious did the bundle of savings equate to purchasing from US dealer?

the markup in Canadian dealers is obscene! i've been eying a few parts...but I can't ship up from US and the local dealers are way way overpriced.

i did the math and he beat every online price after you just factor in the shipping.

i have no idea what the brokerage and taxes would be on the part after it comes to Canada..

oh well that makes me feel kinda retarded..
i originally ordered an abs sensor from bimmerspecialist.com but after i gave them my vin they informed me they did not have the right part i needed and gave me a part number.. The only website that had one was esctuning.com (those guys got almost everything) and they called it a pulse generator so different name made me think it did something different.. meh w/e

The dealer originally wanted 297 + tax
Mike hooked it up

The auto one is on ebay for 30$

This is good news! Glad to hear everything went smoothly. I'm waiting on the tire pricing.

propr'one, why don't you just pm him and ask if you're so curious?
