They want how much!!!!!!!

Post by X5Sport » Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:46 pm

So there was me thinking I'd quite like to do the LED lighting retrofit to my X6, now there is an official kit.

There's just one problem.......it's over £6,000!  And it is only available through official channels, and then everything needs coding on top.  :o

That is taking the Micky to an extreme......I mean there is just no way the parts are that expensive!  >:(

I thought that at £1,600 a throw on a new car was a tad pricy, but £6k!  Come on BMW there's fleecing the customer and then there's robbery!! :rant:

That mod idea is now binned.

Even the new seat Ibiza has LED standard at the minute as an offer!

Would like to see the difference - Audi are meant to be lending me a new RS6 soon and many of those demos seem to have them.

You might be right!  The bloody bonnet catch has failed now as well as the rear windscreen heater peeling off.  Methinks the Dealer will be getting a few jobs to do when I'm back from hols..... >:( >:(
