Sucks, still no real explanation as to why they would do it though.

Sounds like BMW (UK) have been sniffing glue again, over the Festive Season

Each to their own I guess.

It's called inflation ..... materials and labour cost more this year than last year.

(and profit margins need to increase year on year)

I call it "Greed"

Few years back BMW put their parts prices up by way more than inflation. I was after a seat base foam for my E39... one week it was £45 +VAT, the next it shot up to something like £80 +VAT

Thank you BMW
