but in general alot of these shops will be expensive, because they cater to people with lots of money who don't care to shop around to save $20 by getting it online from 3 states away.
well put

lol Are you jewish? Companies also mark up because their overhead is insane. Some shops actually give good pricing believe it or not. Some do not even get discounts on certain items. All in all money makes the world go round so whatever they charge is what they charge to stay in business and feed themselves plus fam. Stop bitching. Its not like your getting repairs on stock setup. Your buying racing items which is a want, not a necessity.

I didnt realize the parts I needed were "racing items", now I undetstand the pricing. Oh and I brought all these things along time ago and installed for all cheaper then the prices I listed. I'm just saying almost every shop out here in tampa is out to screw you over.

And who ever mentioned the whole you drive a bmw so parts are more money, you obviously don't know anything.

over and out

Are you basing the idea that BMW parts aren't as expensive as people think, on the fact that the parts for your Z3 aren't such?
