Dealer pricing

[subforry]

Hi all,

My local dealer (Long Beach BMW) sells parts for just a little more (maybe 5%) than online.  Is this typical?  Are parts prices mostly fixed?

Thanks

That's nothing. Our local dealer charges exactly double the price that parts are listed for on RealOEM.com. Once in a while it's worth it for a small worthless part, because at least the dealership eats the shipping cost and all the US sellers seems to want ridiculous amounts just to ship to Canada. But for anything more than about $20 or so, forget it.
