I know what you mean Pete. For the E60 Sport models the catalogue had just released the CF flippers and rear diffuser, as soon as I went to order they had already discontinued the rear diffuser but still have the fronts available (this was within about 2 months of being released)...:confused:

Its not a case of we cant get it,if its in Germany it 3 days via local BMW dealer,but most of the stuff ain't even in Germany as manufactures are so far behind on orders

Ordered the handbrake today £58 delivered from Cotsworld
