I would order from Garry Romani (Parts Manager) at BMW of Newport (RI) or Tischer BMW in NJ.

First, if you say you're an E60.net member, you'll get 25% off. Sometimes 35%, but at minimum it's 25%. You'll also pay no tax, assuming you don't live in either of those states. And shipping is cheap and fast.

I've ordered from Garry for the last 5 years on all my OEM parts. He's outstanding and his prices are so low!

Shipping kinda kills a good price. Plus not quite ready yet (only 13000 on them now. Hoping to get another 5000-10000 miles).

I like the 128's also, maybe I can buy yours after you're ready...depending on the price. I'm partial to 22" 214's after seeing this pic, and then I finally found them on ebay....

I called my local dealer and they said 146 for all 4 wheel arches. Does that sound right? I thought they were more?

Sounds right. I ordered mine from Tischer and they were less than that I think...

The dealer is installing them before I pick the car up.

Cost just under $200 if you find it on ebay, about $225 from a dealer including the plastic rivets which you will definitely need since you can't reuse the old ones.

BTW, there needs to be an FAQ section on these commonly changed parts... because these are really FAQs. There's numerous threads on how to install it yourself too, before you ask.

Where in NY are you and which dealer?

Part #51770421056 is the kit that includes all 4 flares and all the necessary plastic rivets. I got mine in January from Tischer (getbmwparts.com) for $117.56 and it's still listed at that price today.

That is at least $100 cheaper than when Morristown was a vendor here... amazing.

I just got a quote from Morristown BMW for $120.
