Man.. BMW dealers can really rip people off..

My wife took her car in to get it serviced and while she was there I gave her a list of parts that I needed from the dealer.

10 lock nuts for the front/rear struts.
Lock nuts and bolts for the trailing arms
New lock nuts for the differential and the remainder of the subframe.
New rear strut gaskets.
5mm rear spring pads, and new upper spring pads.
2 exhaust hangers
and 2 exhaust spring "connectors."

They wanted over 140$ for the parts so when I asked what the price was before the BMWCCA discount she realized that they didn't give her the discount... With the discount it was 65$. The dealer said that they charge full retail list price to walk up customers to help pay for the new sales building and parking garage that they just built. The wanted almost 2$ for 1 lock nut... And almost 20$ for 1 exhaust hanger.
