What does the BimmerPartsCo center console come with?

[bergie33]

BImmerPartsCo sells a complete center console for $177 or so. What does it come with? Is it just the sides? Does it include the ash tray bracket? Cover plate where the hazard switch mounts? Ash tray? Shift surround? Bottom cover board?

How about the one from 2002AD for about $225?

Karl,

Looks like $289.00 now from Bimmer Parts Co. and an additional $58.00 for the shift surround. Did you try Sherman Martinez? has to be someone that has a nice used complete unit for you; almost $350.00 for a new one is pretty steep but it depends what you're willing to pay I guess.

Why don't you call them up and ask? When I got mine a couple years ago from Maximillian I know it had the sides and the bottom board, but I don't remember anymore if it had the plastic piece along the top that holds the ashtray and the hazard switch. Definitely nothing else beyond that included.

I sent them an e-mail about it yesterday, and low and behold, they change the price over night. It was $177 yesterday.

YOU GUYS SUCK!!!!!!!

Sir,

Your inquiry brought to light that our web service had not updated the price. It is that simple. Nothing malicious about it.

If I ordered it yesterday, without asking the question, it would have been $112 cheaper? Wow.

Do you have an answer to the question? I never received a response.

break on price under the circumstances....seems like the thing to do possibly Max? Good will and all?

And Karl's a good guy too...nobody likes surprises like that.

Spring is close at hand guys!!! Enjoy the snow while it lasts, then say goodbye to it!!!! :-)

Where did you see center consoles for sale on bimmerparts website? I didnt see it. Its also on my list of to dos and La Jolla only has a few parts, he said they've been picked over

[Timmer]

You click on the restoration link instead of the parts catalog, interior items. Is Carl out of 2002 consoles? nice guy he is, getting some of my NK 2000 parts from Carl.

once bimmer parts was bought out by max all parts prices were multiplied many times to where they are now. Im sure you can find a "looks new" excellent condition center console for a lot cheaper than that. Just post a WTB.

P.S my dad was lucky when he bought a new top dash for his 72tii, it was before max took over and it was half the price, maybe even less than that. then again they do have parts you cant get anywhere else

I say if they dont give you the price when you asked the question you order from somewhere else. Its like that commercial when the guy is in the diner and the "special" price on the bilboard outside incrementally goes from like 7.99 to 30 bucks and he starts eating really fast....

if you were the last person to see that price you should get it at that. Kind of a bonus for pointing it out...

Benetton,

Contrary to common belief I am not becoming wealthy selling parts and not trying to gouge on prices. The reason the prices when up is because the former management of Bimmer Parts had a price file from BMW that was over 2 years old !! Hence he was not making any money and in fact over 120k in debt. All I did was load in current BMW pricing.

New prices reflect

1) BMW retooling costs to remanufacture

2) materials cost have changed since late 70s

3) euro exchange rate rise of over 40%

4) BMW's firm belief that reproduction of certain parts should be in Germany which is home to the highest labor rates in the world.

So, you - like Bimmer Parts - were using outdated prices? Seems like a lesson should have been learned there. This is an interesting circumstance - but I don't think the price change is going to put you 120K in debt.

Looks like intestines.
