Anyone purchased these from bmwdirectparts.com? The prices are insanely good but they don't show if they're in stock or not, and phone number goes straight to some dude's voicemail. Seems kind of weird.

I ordered mine from Braman BMW/Mini in Florida. They do not stock them, so there's about a 5 day lead time. I placed my order online late on Feb 16 (so effectively the 17th), they were shipped on the 22nd, and the freight carrier called me the 27th to schedule delivery. I was travelling that week, so I requested delivery on Friday the 3rd.

They were the cheapest I found, at $560.85 ea for the fronts and $683.02 ea for the rears. Shipping from FL to IL was $155, for a grand total of $2643 delivered. I've not purchased from them before, but would again.

There is a drop -20 at front and -10 at rear, just took the pic after the car was lifted.

For spacers, I wanted to get that out of my mind for my first full track day with the car so no spacers.

Anyway, I didn't want to use my 10mm F/R Bimecc ones because I have a problem with them. Just contacted R44 performance.

I called Braman literally eight times and only once someone picked up and then immediately put me on hold indefinitely. I emailed them and heard nothing back. Seriously unimpressed - glad you had a better experience.

I found the whole set listed on bmwpartshub.com for $2500 with free shipping arriving 3/15. Seems insanely good so hopefully they come through as advertised.

Pumped to get these on my G87in less than five weeks!

Bizarre that our experiences were so different. Also great price that you found. Looks like the Gold/Bronze versions would be $3,886 for the set from them, significantly cheaper than I've seen elsewhere.

Yep - they did just inform me they are out of stock in all warehouses and expect 2-4wks before receiving new sets from Germany.

Gents, I ordered from Baum shipping was about 2 1/2 weeks but well worth it.

Saved about 1500 on the M Performance HAS Kit, and M Carbon Tips.

No doubt. There are several great resources for us to get components under MSRP.

Has anyone had success in getting Baum to ship to the US? Their prices even with conversion from Euro to USD are significantly lower than anywhere else but I've only heard horror stories about them not willing to ship stateside. Just seeing if anyone has actually been successful in ordering wheels from them

They don't ship wheel and tire assemblies like the 1000M combo but no problem shipping just rims to the US

I see the same exact prices I paid:

https://parts.bramanmotorsbmw.com/oe...12-36108093840
https://parts.bramanmotorsbmw.com/oe...13-36108093841

The prices you're listing seem to be of the Gold Bronze:

https://parts.bramanmotorsbmw.com/oe...12-36107884365
https://parts.bramanmotorsbmw.com/oe...13-36107884366

Now, had the Gold Bronze been listed there at the time I placed my order, would I have paid the extra $1020, instead of having mine powdercoated? Probably. But I wasn't going to spend the $2150 difference with the prices I saw elsewhere.

Aww I assumed yours were gold/bronze as well as someone was posting pictures of gold ones, so I just connected the dots there.
Thanks
