Anyone know of a discount BMW source to order these? My local dealer was kinda rude, so not gonna use them even though they did offer 10% off. It's special order for them which means about 5 days and it is pre-pay.

I usually buy my BMW parts from Hendrick BMW in NC (phone 800 476-8322 or 704-569-2638) with a 20% discount for BMWCCA members. You can also try VOB BMW in Maryland (800-462-7292), Pacific BMW in CA (WWW.PACIFICBMW.COM) or Peter Pan BMW in CA (866-462-7124).

Thanks for the info, Oggie. I went ahead and special ordered them from a dealership in downtown and they gave me a little discount.

I just did some research on this...because I plan on doing this very soon.

So the MSRP for this piece is $22

PACIFIC BMW in Glendale has it for $19.80 or something like that. I would go PACIFIC.

just to double check I called NEW CENTURY BMW in Alhambra and they have to special order it, 2 days..and they sell it for full msrp at $22.

Hope this helps others!

Man, I really had to dig in to get those plastic screws to pop, pop. Had to take 2 breaks in-between before continuing because my fingers were on fire. I guess I was screwing in the wrong piece of carpet. Got five screws in and works like a charm. 3 on the bottom and 1 on each side. I love it!!!

ok, pOrsch3, what other cool upgrades do you have for us?
