M3 Wheel: Dealer Asking $450

[fso_BamBam]

I've seen too many pictures of it and too much talk lately, and I want it!

I checked out both local dealers here in Seattle, and they're asking the full list price of $450 for the M3 wheel. Pacific BMW, which I bought the alarm and the bra, doesn't seem to have it. I went to Circle BMW website, and the list price is showing as $450 also.

Where did you all get your wheels and what's a good deal? I would be ordering this as soon as I find the best deal. I'd appreciate some pointers. $450 seems like a bit too much, unless that's the price to pay.

[Ack]

I got mine from Manny (in the parts dept) @ Cutter Motors. Total price was $365 (w/shipping) and it was ordered back in October.

Price was $325 w/CCA discount.

Here's the Toll Free #: 800-676-1595

I'm still not understanding how people are getting decent prices from Crevier. Even when I talk to the same person everyone else does (Chris, I believe), the prices totally blow.

I guess they don't give good prices to locals. :thumbdwn:

Sure seems like it doesn't it. :dunno:

My wheel should be arriving tomorrow or the next day depending on what happens with "doo-doo Brown UPS". :p

$445 for mine... but mine's "different" ;) :bigpimp:

Yep, I think I'll place the order with them. Can you apply any BMWCCA discounts? Even if not, that's a pretty good price. I'll ask when I place the order.

Thanks for the pointer.

Not in conjunction with their Internet pricing. That's my understanding... I've order from them three times already and the Internet pricing is good enough where I don't really mind.

(having the extra 10% discount would be nice on larger orders, but still no biggie)

No, I've yet to come across a 'discount parts' dealer that will throw a CCA discount on top.

Maybe you're on their blacklist?? :lmao:

I am proud to say I have been onto Manny's little book of blacklisted customers. :lmao: :lmao:

Wierd. I talked to Chris, too, but mention that it is a Roadfly deal. I think special internet pricing applies then.

Ask your dealer for a TAKE OFF WHEEL for $180.
Good Luck

That would definitely be a good deal for $180, but I've never heard of a "take-off" M Steering wheel.... :confused:

one word would come to mind... "why"? :loco: hehehe :rofl:

It must be on a item-by-item basis. IIRC the 'standard' Toadfly discount over there is list -20% but going by their typical list prices, the prices still suck.

I couldn't take it anymore.....:eek: :eek: :eek: Placed an order for one with Crevier BMW this morning....$325 + $10 shipping. I feel soooo guilty now:cry: First the strut bar group purchase, now this??? Oh well. I may check out some sway bars to cheer me up:thumbup:

Circle BMW rocks! :thumbup:

I just placed my order, $340 + $15 for shipping. I also ordered a bottle of touch-up paint, so the whole order will be around $365.

Order should ship late this week, or early next. I can't wait to put the wheel on! Thanks to everyone and their posts who convinced me to do this! :D

Don't feel guilty! :D I got the Strut bar/m3 wheel/alarm/cd changer. Basically, I blew about $1000 in mods before my car even arrived! :yikes:

Does the previous owner know it's missing yet?
