I'm sure its a common story but parts here are ridiculously overpriced.

I bumped my rear console door sideways the other day and snapped one of the little hinges (with the tiny screw) and when I went to try and fix it, realized the little guy was broken in half...not fixable even with epoxy.

I found the part on realoem.com and at bmwofatlanta for $2.21. I called my dealership here and they quoted me $11 and change. When I told him how much they were in the US, he dropped the price to $9 something....still 4x the price. I also broke the tab that turns the console interior light off from the flap/door and was just going to glue it back on (and beef it up) but thought I would look at replacing it...$83 in the US, $150 here.

Robbery!
