Just had a right result

Post by Ashway » Thu Aug 24, 2017 4:26 pm

Managed to buy a set of 469M wheels and tyres from Bowker Preston for £600, they are brand new delivery mileage  only. When I rang I thought it must have been a typo but no it was genuine. Well worth the 6.30am start to drive over from Durham this morning to be there for parts department opening at 8.30.

I'm absolutely delighted :)

Some Dealers just want rid of the set.  I got the winter set for my X6 for £500, delivery mileage and with tyres.  The tyres went on the E53 and new winter ones went on the set.  Sounds like you had as good a result too  :D

To put that in context, I replaced a tyre for £275, so £600 would have got me 2 tyres and no wheels!

It'll be allright in the end. If it isn't allright it isn't the end
