inlets

Seems like dealers are out of stock.

Any sources for OEM ones that have stock that aren’t charging 3k+?

Check with BMW535iva on the exterior classifieds. I bought mine, brand new from him for $1,500 a pair. Prices have increased since then, it’s been a few years. I think the last set he posted for sale, they were $2,000 for the set. I’ve spent about $5,500 with him in OEM carbon and he is a great seller.

Make sure you contact him, directly. Don’t post your info in a thread, sadly enough, you’ll likely get scammed.

Or PM me and I’ll give you his phone number. He posts it in some of his threads. Text him and ask him if he has or can get you a set. If he can’t, I would get them from BAUM in Germany.

You have to translate the website, make an account, so it knows you’re shipping to the US, otherwise it will show you prices with 19% VAT added. It should look like this.

He doesn’t have, I’ve been purchasing from him after your reference as well!
Baum only has the right part, they don’t have the left one so I’m a bit lost on what to do.

Then I would order that one from Baum, and I’d email them to see if they have an ETA on the other side.

Or I would contact Dennis at BMWPartsWorldWide, they have the other side for $1,280. Which by the time you do the € conversion and shipping from Baum, may be around the same price.

I have contacted a few dealerships to find out if they’re available at all but I’m pretty sure they’re just backordered.

Dude, your over priced German iron is still on a boat!

Stop the insanity!!!



Seriously though, I have no exterior carbon on my incoming M4, so I am going to buy cheap Chinese knock off glossy or piano black trim. There’s a thread that deals with Chinese knock off carbon, that you should take a look at. Prices are much more reasonable.

Why not just go aftermarket? Save a ton of money, and get something that still fits and looks great.

My xxii tuning ducts have been fantastic and have held up great for nearly two years. They’re also right next to top quality carbon from Stradale Design and Sterckenn, so the quality is on par.

The front bumper inlets are probably one of the few things I would just buy aftermarket. I've truly never seen a bad set of those. And I feel since they are inset into the bumper, seeing any defects wouldnt be easy. The rest of the carbon, especially the front lip, for be, had to be OEM. The mirror caps, especially.

I already got the diffuser mirror caps winglets spoiler puddle lights side gills through our friend so I just need ducts and the lip.

Hi all, just posted a set of the OEM carbon fiber inlets for sale on the exterior classifieds if anyone is interested. They were used for just a few months, look pretty much brand new. Asking $2,000. Thanks.
