Watch out, if you priced a job up pre 2018, then on Jan 6 2018 BMW hiked their prices, some by 120%.
V8 gasket on 29/12/2017 was £16.00
Same gasket today is £37.00
Checked pollen filters too and they have gone up 10%.
I noticed that too. I just placed an order for some things I purchased just last year, and they have gone up dramatically!!

For other models the same when they are moved from current to classic price list, I know that from my E32. the small plastic grill between the kidney and the headlights went up drastically for example, now
GRILLE LEFT 51131964861 MSRP $179.13
GRILLE RIGHT 51131964862 MSRP $179.13
once upon the time it was abt. $25.
But, on the other hand most of the parts are still available. Recently talked with a 1990 Maserati owner, he told me he would be happy to pay such prices compared to original prices, but not many parts are available for his model. Only less than 500 cars of that model were built, even the aftermarket has no interest in suchsmall quantities.
