No, the only solution is the Euro bumper for me, I'm not a fan of the painted reflectors, too ricey for my taste.
He was telling you EAS sells OEM euro spec front bumpers.

Now the dealer has to provide either another comparable vehicle or have the damaged one fixed in a way that doesn't lower the vehicle's worth (a new engine would actually increace the vehicle's worth). It's up to the dealer to give the money back. However, if he fails to fix the car in a specified time frame or can't properly fix the damage after (I think) three times, you can sue him to give you your money back.

I would be:
new engine from BMW = keep the car
else insist on a refund.

When you say superseded bearings, you mean the 2011+ bearings? Why would that be?

Look my friend...you know by now i'm always honest !
It's just logic when I see prices like this(Eas prices) compared to the Euro prices (in my case Belgium) that we only can dream about a price like the US price !
So personal i'm thinking that the US prices are - 50/60 % compared to over here !
That's why I was saying and often..."God Bless America !"
The reason why is... that we changed from the Belgian currency to the Euro coin ,it seems that everything is made from gold , so the last decade prices of some products are raised by 200/300 % !
The only thing so far as I know that is cheaper for the moment are pears, because the harvest was huge, and so we have to much of them and Poetin don't want the pears by the boycott !
Just saying about our situation over here...
So again....realy damn this country !

In AZ, if you buy new, you take 65% then 2% of that value is your first year's registration fee. Then the next year is less by 3%. You get a discount for registering your car for more than a year, but it's negligible.

I know. I had to pee in Italy. I have to pay? Thank god for trees.

The worst is Korea. The bathrooms are free but the toilet paper is not in most. Found out the hard way why you always wear socks and shoes (and not sandals) when using the subway.
