Anyone going to Maranello anytime soon?

Dr. G · 03-17-2012, 12:55 AM

I can never make it there during business hours to pickup an oil change kit so I was wondering if anybody who lives nearby me (brampton) was going to be swinging by maranello anytime soon?

If you could pickup the oil change kit for me and I could come later on at night to swing by and pick it up that would be awesome.

Are you getting a good price @ Maranello? Here are the prices over at BMW of Mississauga for you to compare...

BMW 5w30 High Perf. Synthetic Oil (07-51-0-017-866): List @ 8.41 , Net @ 8.41
BMW Oil Filter Element (11-42-7-566-327): List @ 22.94 , Net @ 18.99

I understand if you want the oil from BMW (even though it usually is a personal preference), but you might also want to look at the MANN filter at a parts shop, they usually go for $9 if you're looking for cheapest price possible. Again, unless you're looking at something specific from Maranello.

Don't agree.

Oil get's pretty complicated, if you want to make it complicated check out bobistheoilguy - lot's of great info on there.

Great info on oils to use to prevent carbon buildup in n54's as well, will be trying out the RLI line since the audi guys with buildup problems now seem to swear by it.

I well be going there @ the end of the month and getting Ivo @ Columbus Auto to do the change, so if you can wait until then I can get you a kit as well.

Not a big difference but damn that's cheap.
