Props to bill, i dont have the patience to sit down and call people up for part numbers and call companies in europe and canada to get quotes on kits and shipping.
Mad props man

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Here is where we are at:

It looks like we've been able to find a source to sell us a bulk order of 20 kits and ship them via ocean shipping container the same way our Bimmers came over. Delivery from Europe will take 6-8 weeks. We had to change some quantities around based upon the size of the shipping container so we won't know exact pricing still. Jon of JLeviSW has been very helpful in arranging this shipping container with his contacts and he is going to take over the logistics of the Group Buy once the kits arrive stateside. He will also be supplying 100% of the funds to bring these things over so do not bitch at him for wanting to sell off full kits first. It will be much cheaper to have Jon handling the shipping and processing of these transactions - I run my own business during the day and there is no way I can handle 20 kits.

As I said before, exact final pricing is not know yet and will not be known until the kits are purchased and exchange rates/fees are applied. I can say, however, that the kits for you guys will be in the range of 2000-2300 before shipping and shipping will be very reasonable.

Priority will be given to those on this current GB list, but I will be starting a new GB for Full Kits only very soon. Please PM me directly if you are on the current list and you are interested in a full kit.

i thought the front bumper was in the neighborhood of a grand, and the sides and rear were an additional 25%. So ~1,250 low end. i was expecting much less than 2300 plus shipping.

if i bought a whole kit, how much could i expect to sell the rear bumper for?

Market price is 850 shipped for rear, 250 shipped for sides. Remember 2300 is the top end of the range, it should be closer to 2100. This also includes the $150 engine shield MWDesign doesn't give you when you buy the front from them.

oh ok. in that case ill partake. from your previous posts I was expecting the rear to be worth much less, which would mean less re-couped cost for me.

Also, I have already discussed splitting the cost of the kit with someone who wants the rear. Will it be possible for both of us to pay jointly, with the rear bumper to be shipped directly to him, and the front and sides sent to me?

Word. Yeah the diffuser is like $130 so that drives the cost up a bit. Shall I add you to my super secret full kit list then?

We've got 6 people down so far...

Jon will have to answer that question. I'm hoping he can extend some sort of discount to you guys for covering a whole kit, but I'm assuming it would likely cost extra to ship separate boxes to multiple destinations.

the person that was going to buy my rear bumper from the kit backed out. If anyone is interested in just the rear PM me.

ArmyBimmerDude · 06-25-2008, 03:36 PM

Anyone in the southeast(GA, TN, AL, SC) looking for M-tech sides? Pm me if you're interested.

Crazy Bimmer · 06-25-2008, 09:53 PM

I dont mind waiting, most group buys never end up happening fast anyways.

Also when this thread was started we didnt even have a source, so finding all this so fast is impressive. Nice work Bill!

Sucks that I already have the Mtech sides and spent good money on my bastuck rear. So let me know when you guys get a front bumper only available. No real rush.

Dragonman4 · 06-25-2008, 10:02 PM

Hmm, 2300 pre-shipping sounds a bit higher than that source we were talking about in Canada. Did C73 give you a discount for a GB from their source?

MyE92 · 06-25-2008, 10:23 PM

Bill, add me to that super secret list...

Remember dudes, 2300 is the high-end of the range. Should be closer to 2100.

Having said that, I have been in contact with Karim at C73 and he's an awesome guy. He hasn't given me a final quote yet, but based upon the 5 other quotes I've been given from Canada, there is no way he'll be able to do 2300 shipped to the US, the parts are simply too expensive for these guys to get in Canada. I should know for sure when I hear back from him in the next few days. I guess there was Holiday in Vancouver this week? I think the number Karim gave you previously may have been without any of the extra parts...

Hmm. That does sound logical. Anyway, keep up the good work and let me know when you get final pricing.
