Very hard to choose from the many contenders, as we all know prices can be crazy especially when no aftermarket alternative.
Here is my personal pick:
A simple hose, not even long or high pressure or anything, selling for $71: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...w/13901710555/
rubber hose.PNG
It's a fuel breather hose from here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...04#13901710555
On the other hand, kind of impressive that we can still get almost anything for our cars.
Bring it on if you have better (worse) ones!

Airbag control module, $1200.
Questionable Logic
Normally listing for $17 it's now listed at $404, but hey its reduced price from $451 lol.

Interesting game and ripe with possibilities, but there should be a set of rules.
Is it Genuine BMW vs standard/generic pricing? The $15 1 m vacuum hose https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/11727545323/
Is it specific to the e38 line or a specific sub model? Because the $1470.25 (on sale from $1702.55!) right rear shock for the EDC/SL seems pretty high https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/37121091571/
And then you have items like the trims and panels that are only available from BMW...

It's all arbitrary of course, but I think the airbag control module is hard to say. Kind of a critical component to save your life and we have no idea what it cost to produce & develope it.
Sabreslight's $404 bazel is insaneJust two pieces of plastic, probably cost $2 to produce. It probably has a higher margin than the rear shock for $1702.
I would keep it to genuine BMW only, E38 specific, doesn't matter which sub model.
The $404 bazel will be hard to beat! https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...l/61316909780/

I think a new DME from BMW runs $1500+. You can pick them up on Ebay for $50 and use pirated software to code it yourself.

Compared to the $404 bezel, that's a bargain! Has a complicated software and chips in it

I suppose that still wins out over the:
$12,459.47 door https://www.estore-central.com/part/41515380295/
Or the
$22,564.96 windscreen, green tinted upper strip https://www.estore-central.com/part/51312139335/

I think the $404 bezel was beaten by the $22K windshield, good job!
We probably have a winner.

Well, to be fair it is for the 750iLS build...

We might need to disqualify it then. $400 plastic bezel back winning!

Yes!

Glove box handle, I spent $365 at the dealer for one. Even the service manager said that BMW must be proud of this part!

Don't have the part number right now, but the grommet for the V12 OSV/CCV is $25 per cylinder bank. A rubber grommet. Not even BMW original parts. The OSV itself is at least $45/side for a reputable one.

The disqualified glass was stated to come from the S line... but agree. One off, bevel is in all.
I believe the one you reference is below:

I am rather impressed by the cat pricing myself...

That's a good one for sure! But the bezel is probably not much more expensive to make and selling for $400+

I for one am appalled with the price of a new MKIV navigation computer. List price of $3,947.18, on sale for $2,961.17. https://www.bmwdiscountparts.com/oem-parts/bmw-navigation-computer-658910-65909176685

It's a bargain, only the price of 8 bezels...

I have to post one for a part that recently went up like 8x in price. The plastic sill strip you bang you shoe on and scuff up getting in and out of the car. I bought one a couple months ago for $17.50. Suddenly they've shot up to $132! I had to go back and check my old invoice to be sure I wasn't crazy.

intake manifold gaskets for M73s are priced far too high
