Door Handle cover $230 ????
 

Hi,
I start to have having a X5. How is possible that BMW will charge 230USD for this plastic cover? Item #7 in pics....
This is one of the dealers but not the only one asking the same price... That part cost them 10 cents in china....:gunner:

Call Tischer BMW. They'll beat that all day long. I got mine for $40 wholesale.

My dealer, Santa Monica BMW, quotes me $434 for this cheap plastic part, yesterday. They seem just about double the MSRP for every part I inquire about. I have seen the drivers side cover for $10 to $15 in posts and 'fiches' from 2004 and thereabouts. Why did this price multiply by a factor of 15x to 30x?

Dinan e39, I looked up the Tischer price online. They want like most, about $234.

Do you know how I might access this part near for what you described you paid for it?

Search this site for Craig from BMW of Bloomfield. The dude will deff cream that price.
Also try eBay, and junkyards.

$229, at least on their website.

But in reality in the past it was no more than a $20 part, and should be. Makes no sense.

I'm pretty sure I said find Craig, and call him specifically. He is their manager of his dept. He beats all prices. Tell him you from Xoutpost.

I know it's over priced. But what can you do. Search eBay.
