Source of cheaper M-Performance accessories

moldcad · 01-01-2016, 07:18 AM

All he Best to you guys (and your 2-ers) in the New Year 2016!

OK, so back to the subject: I don't mean "responsible" parts like entire M-P Exhaust, or alike (would mention M-P LSD, but remembered I already have it). What I do mean is a plethora of cosmetic stuff - like

- the rear diffuser and chrome exhaust tips
- the sill stickers
- the black kidneys
- etc

All they are silly expensive when bought trough a BMW dealer. Does a source of either cheaper originals, or even good quality replicas, exists on the net? Yes, I know I could just use Google or go straight to eBay - but even for cosmetic stuff like this, I need it good quality and from a proven source; don't want to save some bucks over the Dealer's price only to find out the diffuser doesn't fit, for example.

I'm in a mood to buy my M235i a New Year present, but that won't last long (so many wiser expenditures in live) - so please anyone who did actually bought from a cheaper source and used them without problems, share your experience! TIA

You're located in Poland, so probably ebay.de will be the best.

It's usually cheaper on ebay from Germany, yes. But with shipping costs it usually makes very little difference in the end result. At least, that has been my personal experience being from Europe as well. I have not been able to find the parts for any less than what BMW is asking for apart from a few Euros.

Better than the prices listed on the website? Because there are other dealers with sites that list lower prices.

Witam, fellow, try Leebmann24.de.

moldcad · 01-02-2016, 02:24 PM

Dzieki, sure will zrobic

moldcad · 01-02-2016, 02:57 PM

Well, I did try www.leebmann24.de - and while the starting retail prices are attractive, after going through the basket and handling + shipping fees addition, they are no more

Anyway, thanks kolego

Exactly what I was saying. I had the same experience with Leebmann. And this is the case for almost all German suppliers.

Stockholmarn · 01-03-2016, 07:21 AM

Maybe try http://salesafter.eu ? I purchased a black grill through them at a good price.

Thanks for that tip! They do seem to be cheaper (even with shipping included).

I'm currently looking for the carbon trim. Dealer has it listed at €678 ($736), they have it listed at €600 ($651) including shipping. Not bad.

Seems their eBay ship gets positive ratings as well.

EDIT: It appears this shop might actually be run by BMW dealer Autohaus Herrnleben in Bayreuth, Germany.

It's in line with other shops. Up to 5 kg it's usually over 10 Euros for post-USSR countries. I'll be actually ordering from them next week.

wjjkoevoets · 01-09-2016, 08:27 PM

I just ordered the M Performance Stainless Steel pedals for my M235i from Salesafter. The pedals are €20 ($22) cheaper when compared to Dutch dealer prices. That is including shipping and other fees (dealer price is excl. shipping!)! If all goes well I will likely order the Carbon/Alcantara trim set from them as well.

Dealer: €678 ($740), excl. shipping.
Salesafter: €612 ($668), incl. shipping & fees.

That's a nice €66 ($72) difference and I still have other components to order as well

I'll let you know how things go.

PeteSoulDeep · 01-11-2016, 12:29 AM

Yes.

Just a little update on the M pedals. Ordered on Sunday, received them this morning:

Very happy with the way they handled it.
