Approximately $700. Not cheap, but if prices for parts keep rising, then better to get them now than later.

Sweet! Just arrived this afternoon! Fender flares!

Where did you get your parts from? I want to get the kit and flares but I'm trying to do some research to hopefully escape dealer pricing.

idunno417 09-16-2008 07:31 PM

are the 4.8 fender flares required for the lip kit?

Thanks!

Got all the parts except the front bumper cover from Morristown BMW.

mtX5 09-16-2008 10:22 PM

Do they give discounts to BMW CCA members?

nra0707 09-16-2008 10:33 PM

I asked. They either give you 15% (?) off for CCA or the wholesale discount. It's not cummulative. Usually, wholesale parts sales are around 20% discount vs. regular marked up prices at the dealer parts counter (even though they are technically coming from Morristown BMW's parts dept).

mtX5 09-16-2008 11:00 PM

Oh, the wholesale discount sounds good... And one final question, haha, did they paint it for you as well? Or did you find someone else for that.

nra0707 09-16-2008 11:14 PM

Keep in mind, the prices you see on realoem.com are not accurate. Prices have been inching higher on these parts...which is why I bought them a month ago. So wholesale price today may not be the same wholesale price next month or next 3 months.

I had the parts painted at a local body shop that I trust to do good work.
