I don't have one to offer you but the one of the previous owners of my car must've hit something and broke off one of the flanges that has a clip nut.

Just looked at how much a replacement is from EndurasBMW..yikes! Cheaper on ECS Tuning but not sure how much the poor exchange rate and shipping would cost. ///M versions are cheaper for some reason.

How badly damaged is it?

Good luck with the search

Yeah. I checked Endras. I'm actually headed there shortly for some parts. Sigh. Mine is ...missing lol. Hit something hard.

I have purchased ONCE and ONLY once from ECS...never again. Purchased a $12 antenna base and $6 cup holder cover. I was happy with my purchase, until FedEx charged me ~$70 at the door in customs, duties, taxes, and brokerage fees...

Never again.

I've had very similar experiences with UPS... Thats why I will only order if the vendor will ship USPS. Saves you the ridiculous Brokerage fees and duties and other scammy charges.

Wow good to know. So far I've only ordered and shipped to the border to pick up.

Can you tell me what service you use? Kinek?

Is it really worth it? I mean saving the fees, but spending money on fuel driving there, and time.

The exchange rate is a killer right now.

In the past though I have waited until I need a lot of parts to order and the duty/freight is not all that bad compared to buying comparable parts in Canada.

I do wish that ECS would offer USPS though as quite often there is no duties charged on smaller packages.

During checkout you can choose USPS as a shipping option.

I used CBI. My friend had a bunch of stuff ordered so I piggybacked off his account. Customs weren't too kind to my friend though. For some reason some of the packages didn't have discounts on the invoice and one didn't have any paperwork at all! These parts were purchased from ECS Tuning and Pelican Parts too. So after about an hour and a half of waiting my friend got dinged for having discrepancies in the paperwork and black flagged for future border crossings.

Word of advice, make sure retailers include all the paperwork in the package reflecting the correct purchase price!
