The price is different to accomodate the shipping. If we ship them @ $1,732.94, we're basically just moving inventory around and paying the shipping guy to slap labels on them. BMW pulled a fast one during the tail end of last month, raising the dealer price on them. In turn, we offered this set of wheels at either $1,732.94 plus shipping (which can easily run up to $130.00 - $150.00 via UPS or FedEx), or do $1,848.00 free shipping.

The wheel & tire sets can be added, but only come with TMPS. It would be cheaper to buy the wheels and tires, pay to have them mounted, and shipped than it would be to buy the wheel/tire set, pay for dismount and uninstallation, then remount and shipped

Note that almost all of our specials typically regard FREE shipping. We actually barely break even when running these free shipping specials. OE/OEM parts are marked up by BMW a lot more than Accessories & Tires, making it difficult to discount more than 25% without actually recording a loss
