Empty Console Bin Price

[SkinnyX5]

Where can I find the empty console bin listed here (http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/...-bin-part.html) that claims to retail for around $63?

Using the part number, I searched a couple of places (BMW of Bloomfield and Tischer BMW--getBMWparts.com) and both list this part for over $150. Although the post I'm referencing is three years old, inflation certainly cannot explain the price differential.

Can anyone recommend a supplier with better pricing for this part? Or was the price quoted in the above link wrong to begin with? Thanks in advance for any info.

i just replace that part, the cost was $250 for bmw replacement. $139.20 is the actuatal cost to the dealer. the trim tends to peal on this part. replacement is pretty common.

well you should buy it from there then.

Lol, you can't actually buy stuff from realoem.com. It is just to give an approx price example. The bin must have went up in price from a couple years ago.

Wow. I know that E53s are out of production and all but I can't imagine prices going that high! Call around and let us know what you find out...

I'll call around a few more places. If the price is that steep now for this little plastic insert, I'll do without. Thank you all for the input.
