What happened to Chicago BMW's parts prices, they used to be discounted. Now they charge full retail, what's up with that?  |

BMW, in all their infinite corporate wisdom, will not allow dealers to show discounts on their websites.
The search button at the top of every page is your friend. I already posted the answer to your question:
"<p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2">Dear Chicago BMW customers </font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2">New rules from BMW corp. we can not show discounted prices on our website. But our staff will still give the discount on your internet orders. Please tell your friends and clubs and other riders sites. </font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2">Thanks Mark & Javier & the whole crew at Chicago BMW </font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2">P.S. you can still call 773-247-6820 if you have any Questions</font></p>"

Call them. You'll discover that they still apply a significant discount on BMW parts.
Even with the cost of shipping to Canada factored in I have still been able to buy parts from Chicago BMW faster and cheaper than from my local dealer.
