What's the catch

[Bounce]

Just ordered ATE front discs which as we know are OEM,they are £121 each,but the company are giving 35% discount.So with delivery it's costing me £160 for the pair.BMW wanted £410.So what's the catch.

I reckon they have so many wound up there arse as we are all on PF or AP

[chrisburns]

£160 for the pair :119:

Let me know how this goes as I will order a set myself if everything is as it seems...

Massive massive markup on discs from main dealers. Ford for instance offer staff discount of 50% off the Rrp, so in theory it'd be easy to offer a 35% discount and out a few sets of discs if you have a large over stock laying about.
No different to what we do in the after market car parts... buy a big stock in at a knock down price and out it all for a quick turnaround profit.

[Steve B]

Just to give you an idea of prices I've just picked a random part number at work....

RRP inc VAT - £7.43

Cost price inc VAT - £2.71

-35% off the rrp inc VAT - £4.83

My trade customers who spend say £5000 pcm pay £3.61 inc VAT


Its very easy to make a big offer and still make £££


It's just like the DFS "Sale" lol

£410.02 + £2.95 postage for a front set - no contest :supz:

Like the 'DFS' Analogy Steve :hahaha:

[Steve B]

At that sort of £££ you'd be made not to buy a set for when required IMO....


and let's be honest you'd be unlucky to miss a DFS sale lol

[Mark CSL]

Do they do the back ones ??Couldn't see any on their site Mark.Cheapest rears I could see we're on EBay from ocean BMW,£199 delivered.;)

[shane@mbtech]

Parts mark up is rediculous.

We get 40% off certain things from main dealers, dependent how much we buy.

That's quite a bit towards the AP's then :whistle:

[Pip1968]

At that price is there any reason not to use them with an AP set up. I know when I first got my CSL in 2007 the buzz was change the front discs (AP or PF) but the AP set up was fine with the OEM rear discs.

I assume it was just a matter of the OEM fronts wearing out very quickly with 6 pot APs or lack of performance (- ??).

Sorry Bounce I am not sure if you are running with an AP set up. Likely you are.

PipOem all round mate,except for uprated pads and fluid.I don't do enough trackdays to warrant spending all that cash on APs,also not bothered about gaining a couple of seconds a lap and I find the stock set up very good.The larger discs and coloured calipers do look good though:wink:
