I would like to get this done in the next month or so... winters rim/tire setup is going on so it would help a lot with the stance.

We already have 11 sets. Maybe we should move this or create a new thread in the classifieds section to see about getting more people involved. Has anyone reached out to a vendor yet? If not I'll take the lead.

Ok so I'm in talks with a vendor who may be able to help us out here. What I need is to confirm is the part #s for all the sizes requested so we can get pricing.

You know, you could also try a non BMW vendor, you know one that doesn't charge more because they are BMW specific parts... Many of the vendors that sell to all brands/makes/models often make money on volume and not margin. importimageracing and Modern Automotive Performance come to mind.

Yea but I'm a supporter those companies that invest in catering to the BMW community such as those found on sites like these. They often invest in the development of new parts for our cars and also package up service/maintenance kits making it very easy to buy. Let's not forget the reputation and knowing the type of customer service you can expect.

They're spacers. They are generic.

I just got a price from a non BMW vendor, would like to compare to what you got, if any yet. I got a price for 12/20 and 15/25 h&r spacers. Bolts are extra and don't know what they are at the moment. This same vendor sold me my Cobb accessport for my x5 35i.

its hard to compare prices unless we are comparing apples to apples/ oranges to oranges...

It would be nice to get some sort of percentage off list. 15mm/25mm spacers are going to run me 300 dollars... It would be nice to get a 20 % discount or better through this group buy.

Has anyone tried giving Achtuning a call? They stock H&R spacers in 25mm and 15mm and have great pricing. That's where I picked mine up.

Minus the longer bolts, I was quoted a bit over 200... I think 12% off MSRP for 12/20mm and 17% off for 15/25mm is about what I calculated.

I followed up with ECS. Hoping to get pricing with and without bolts very soon. We should also consider shipping costs as I know some companies overcharge to make up for the discounted part. Keeping an eye on my email and will let you guys know.
