They're too legit. Too legit to quit (hey hey).

I've ordered a bunch of parts from them. Great service and fair prices.

i'll vouch.

Our E30s love Tischer. i suspect our new E53 will as well. :-)

Thanks again guys. One more question, how much does it cost to get the Retrofit Arch installed along with the rims?. And do BMW dealers do that?

Try Circle BMW as well. They are in NJ. Wholesale pricing plus super quick/cheap shipping. Getbmwparts.com charges you a shipping and handling fee no matter what...

From my understanding, its just a handful of guys who work at Tischer BMW and do this on the side. I used them because they were the only ones able to get Euro parts for my 6spd swap in my 7.

The arches run about $350 these days for all 4 - I just did the rear 2 and run spacers on the back, so the fronts with the wider wheels sit more like the rears - a little different shape, but looks fine in my book and saves a few bucks. They are super easy to change, you just take a small screw driver and push the center of each plastic rivit in around the outside of the arch and then just pop it off (has 4 clips behind it that just pull off). Stick the new one on and put 7 new plastic rivets in - they work just like rivets, you just need a special plastic rivet gun to put them in which is $30 bucks at Napa or online. If your paying someone to do it - it probably took me 15 minutes a wheel to do the arches - they are quick and easy - 1 - 1.5 hours max for labor if the wheels are already off.

Thanks a lot. It sounds a lot easier than I expected. :thumbup:
