I'm gathering parts to refresh my Intake and other assorted bits on a still somewhat new to me 330ci.

I understand that Genuine is the only way to go for the hard lines under the intake. So, I've checked prices on a few vendors. The best price offering for both lines out the door was bmwofsouthatlanta.com.

I performed this price analysis earlier this week and was going to pull the trigger last night when I got home from work BUT was shocked to notice a huce price increase for both items. The other "Dealer" BMW parts vendors I had analyzed also had similar price increases.

Old price (1-Feb-23) - 11-53-7-502-525 - ~$73 ; 11-53-1-705-210 ~$30
New price (2-Feb-23) - 11-53-7-502-525 - ~$93 ; 11-53-1-705-210 ~$50

FCP stil had the geniune items listed as closer to the old price, so I quickly placed an order from them last night, fearing the price increases would catch up quickly. With the free shipping and 5% off it wasn't terrible.

Just a PSA. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up!! I‘ve got this to do on my coupe. How does one get the 5% off at FCPEuro? Thanks again.

It's the abandoned cart trick. Add $150 into cart and then wait 24h. You'll get a discount code in email. I had already been analyzing prices at FCP, so I had the code ready to go.

I just had mine done a few weeks ago. The peace of mind is great.

Thanks for the heads up. Snagged two sets that I will need in the future. I paid 75.18 and 31.62 back in 12/2021.

Yeah, the prices skyrocketed recently luckily I somehow managed to get 3 sets of them as a backup. If I had known modern prices I would have bought as many spare items as I could.
