Need help with BMW hardware from USA
Does anyone work at, or have plans to visit a BMW dealer in the USA anytime soon? I need help.
It's a simple problem, with a simple solution..... but if I have to hear "It's not possibluhhhhh" (in my worst French accent) one more time..... I swear I'm going to go ballistic. I bought a 6-piston X5M front BBK and I'm retro-fitting it onto my X5M50i. I spent 5 hours in a Southern Belgium dealership today... only to be given that answer to 2 different issues. The X5M / X6M isn't sold in Belgium, so not only do they not have the ability (or desire) to order parts for an X5M, they don't even have the ability to look up part numbers, so that I can order them elsewhere. I did speak with the Tro-Nik folks in Russia again, and they were at least able to give me the correct sizing. I need a set of 4 caliper top-mounted flange bolts for a 2021 X5M (F95). (2 per caliper) Not sure if they were fitted with washers when new, but if so, I need the washers too. Bolt size is exactly M12 X 1.5 x 85mm Nothing special. Just OEM parts for a F95 X5M or X6M (2021 model year).... It's not "aftermarket" or "special"..... but you would be AMAZED at how little effort anyone is willing to put forth here. I was SO nice to them, and careful to not let my "American" slip out.... although I imagine my accent probably affected their behavior from the moment I walked in. It always does. I will PayPal you for the parts, for the shipping to me, and I'll even pay you for your time and effort. I've attached a picture of one of my calipers, pointing to the hole where the bolt goes through (from the top of the caliper... not the backside of the hub). Can anyone help?

I think they just don't want to do it / want to be responsible. I saw one here with green dealer plates last week in East Flanders. Do you want me to check with my dealer? |

I didn't ask them to "do" anything other than look up and order parts for me. I'm doing the retrofit myself.
So..... they do sell X5Ms in Belgium? Why am I not surprised that the local Belgian dealer doesn't even know what cars they sell..... Yes..... please. If your dealer up in Flanders is.more helpful, I will take a drive up there and visit them. |
