After getting my '99 *almost* all the way back together after a 36k maintenance teardown, I found I had somehow misplaced one of the small chromed bolts that hold the turn signal lenses on. Stopped by the dealership to pick one up & was told the price was $12.00 !!

The parts guy seemed incredulous as well. He was nice enough to find a couple of suitable replacements which he gave me for free. Anybody know if that's a misprint -- is it supposed to be $1.20?

Luckily I found the original in the garage when I returned home. I will now guard it more closely!

You can get it from Max BMW for only $9.70 - a rare bargain.
