BSM 135i · 07-20-2009, 03:33 PM

ooooOOOooo i like!

oneintheory · 07-20-2009, 04:37 PM

It's great if you live in Germany, but most people here cant/wont cough up the cash for it.

AnooooOH · 07-20-2009, 05:08 PM

why not?
I ordered most of my parts in the usa...
shipping and customs arent`t that high.
and it`s way cheaper than the performance diffusor.
just ask the vendor for a great deal.

1013mm · 07-20-2009, 06:05 PM

will buy.

Nice find!!! +1

Hind · 07-20-2009, 09:08 PM

Thats cool looking. Agreed,... Good find.

1LazyBmw · 07-20-2009, 09:25 PM

Looks pretty good but ya price is a factor.. I guess alot of people are trying to find alternatives to the performance one and not pay the big bucks.. though it is cheaper you won't get the bmw status or quality thats why people will not settle for the answer of "it is cheaper then the performance one".

HondaGoneRogue · 07-20-2009, 09:34 PM

And it's really not that much cheaper considering it's half and half. 600 eur = 900 usd. I did call them though and they will accept a VAT form for 19% off. So that takes it down a bit more. But, without the form I think it's steeply priced.

BrokenVert · 07-20-2009, 09:47 PM

What is a VAT form?

Citizen Z · 07-20-2009, 10:19 PM

VAT is Value Added Tax, basically 19% sales tax on all goods, reflected in the displayed price on all general merchandise items (food excluded). US service members stationed in Germany under the US-German status of forces agreement are allowed to purchase forms for $4/ea which, when presented to a German shopkeeper, exempt that purchase from German VAT. The forms are three pages and require various stamps are are generally a pain in the ass so its rare you see them used for anything but larger purchases in excess of 100 euro.

Xin1120 · 07-20-2009, 10:22 PM

its a bit too busy in the back for me. I like mine simple

Correctomundo. I forgot that they are for service members though.

Excitmnt94 · 07-20-2009, 11:06 PM

looks great!

tybo · 07-22-2009, 09:51 AM

i bought the diffusor and exhaust gets installed next month on a montego blue ill give u all a full report would have been good to get the vat tax back but im in iraq and couldnt get ahold of the form so i paid 2300 dollars for it

SoQuick · 07-22-2009, 10:04 AM

Thats to expensive, even with a VAT form that not everyone has. Plus paint...and it really doesn't look that great.

tybo · 07-22-2009, 03:03 PM

that is why i ordered mine in carbon fiber

AnooooOH · 07-23-2009, 07:58 AM

CAMike · 07-23-2009, 08:02 AM

That is probably the nicest one I've seen yet...I'm stationed in Italy...might need to get to Germany and pick one up!!

AnooooOH · 07-23-2009, 02:08 PM

you can order them to italy..you don`t have to pay taxes for it since germany und italy are both in the eu.
shipping wiill not be that much.
