Are E9X parts prices going up?
I only have one data point/experience:
Old forum posts indicated that the E9X Idle Control Device (Valve) (Part # 13417838024) used to cost about $250 each. Now the list price is $742.16. I got one online for $562. I just stopped by the local dealer to get some OEM clamps for installing the valve and their parts guy also said these idle control valves used to be around $250 each. He said he's seen a trend that the parts go up in price as the cars get older. I'm not liking this... Have you seen this trend? |

2) Then compound that with the fact that the e9x platform is about to be 2 generations behind once they release the G8x. So typical phasing out of older generation inventory. You see that with BMW already stopping production on the MPE exhausts (although they are doing a nice final blowout on prices on final inventory). 3) Then throw in likely higher import tariffs in the months to come and probably folks and middleman are getting a jump on the pricing action. I myself am eyeing a v2 electronic performance steering wheel and am in the same boat. It's already ridiculously expensive and will probably get more expensive in the months to come for the above 3 reasons. |

Like the M Performance steering wheel, M Performance carbon fiber spoiler, etc. All were like $200-300 cheaper than an original OEM price everyone paid back in 2010. |

I wouldn’t look at IND for best pricing. Stuff seems overpriced actually. I found the ICV for alot cheaper in other brands boxes for the exact same part, bmw branded and all.

It's widely happening in the non-M E9X too. I've noticed the 335iS engine mount was $80 before, it is now $700. Even the 335i fuel injectors used to be around $150 each and have gone way up as well. It's as if BMW has started jacking up routine maintenance/break-down parts pricing through the roof now that all of this generation is out of any sort of BMW sanctioned warranty; and the cars are now old enough to require replacements of such parts at high mileage.

My insurance went up recently for M3 and when i called and asked them why, they said that parts prices for this car are going up and thus they need to increase my rate by 20$ a month...

I, too, had a similar experience. I have a squeaky clean record and my M3 recently went about $20 a month. State Farm.

Yowza. I was going to buy an ICV about a month ago to have on reserve in the garage "just in case," and I am almost positive that it was about $250. Cheapest I can find is through ECS for about $640

Looks like the original ICV's also had an issue (produced from 8/07 to 1/09). The original ICV part # was replaced by a new one at that point. Since mine is an '08 model, I must have had one of the original ICV's. Mechanically it's clean and perfect in every way (as you would expect with only 4K miles on the car). I cycled it with a power supply and the motor and gearing work well. I suspect it's got an issue with the internal electronics. |
