I'm looking for a set of oem orange led tail lights. I found some on ebay from a dealer ship but they won't ship to the us. Would an UK membar be friendly enough to verify these are orange instead of red? Also help one to ship them to the US since they won't ship out of the UK. Thanks.http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-BMW-...257Ciid%253A11

I needed a part that was only sold in Europe and ordered it through Schmiedmann. It was pricey in terms of getting hit with taxes and shipping costs. Also, you get hit with 2.5% money exchange rate charge. Most of these are true with any international transaction though.

Not sure if the ebay deal is significantly lower than normal going rate at dealer though (but you mentioned UK dealership). Anyway, here is another way to get overseas parts. It took about 3 weeks I recall as the part I needed had to be ordered from Germany and shipped to Denmark. Then shipped from Denmark to Texas.
