AC Pipes

Post by pcdee » Thu Jun 29, 2017 5:19 pm

Just had a new condenser fitted and now told that I will need 2 new pipes to the condenser.  Parts alone costing £220+VAT from BMW and then fitting is quoted for 3 hours and then re-gass.  Nearly £500. 
Anyone know anywhere else I can get the parts?

Try Realoem for part numbers and see who else can supply  :)

You could try Cotswoldbmwmini on here...send them a PM.  At least that should be a little bit cheaper  :(

+1 on getting a quote from Cotswold, send them a PM with the part numbers, they are very efficient and give good discount for forum members, used them a couple of times now and the parts have arrived in a couple of days.
