I have come to observe that those wishing to rebut my posts, but having no substantive argument available to them, resort to this type of comment and/or innuendo.
As a consumer my job is to judge the quality and price of that which I consume. When I see deficiencies and/or excessive charging I say so. Staying silent only contributes to a bad situation persisting. If you check the conditions necessary for a functioning free market competitive economy you will find that an inherent prerequite is that consumers are informed. BMW owners should avail themselves of the fullest possible information. Some choose not to out of some sense of "loyalty" to the brand. But the brand has no loyalty to the owners - only to the shareholders.
POST SCRIPT
I should have written:
"I have come to observe that those wishing to rebut my posts, but having no substantive argument available to them, resort to ad hominem comments and/or innuendo.
POST POST SCRIPT
The intention or impact of ad hominen attacks is often to have a chilling effect on those who might otherwise post similar or sympathetic comments.

So I'm not the first one to notice, eh? Just basing my comments on my observations. I'd call that substantive. "If it walks like a duck..."

I would look up the retail prices of the parts online so you have an idea of what they cost. I have receipts from BMW motorcycle parts I have purchased that show a discount but the retail price was raised the amount of the discount & I paid the full retail price thinking I got a discount.
I use aftermarket repair parts on my BMW and Mercedes vehicles whenever available, usually at considerable savings compared to OEM. For example, a $65 starter is working as well as the $400 OEM, as is the $140 EGR valve compared to the nearly $800 OEM.
Still, I appreciate the 35% MOA member discount as it is significant, and don’t remember BMW doing anything like this before. Maybe they are trying to clear inventory for tax purposes? Regardless, this offer could be of considerable benefit to MOA members who don’t have the desire or opportunity to use aftermarket repair parts. It is definitely a good thing.

Thank you for following through with your feedback Stephen. Yours and others feedback help us out quite a bit. I’ll be using your report in our upcoming board meeting next weekend.

FYI: the dealer closest to me (Street Cycles in Maine) isn't participating. MaxBMW in NH is participating but said the discount wouldn't apply to a replacement seat since that is a "Comfort" item and is excluded from the program. I asked if the seat fell into the discount BMW NA is offering for gear and apparel and they said no.

Gear is stuff you wear, not a part like the seat.

Yeah, comfort is the last word I would use for a BMW seat!
Mine got real comfortable after I let RDL work on it!

There are some similar comments on the MOA website where the announcement of the discount appears - one must click on the ad and then on "COMMENTS" to see them.

There seems to be some inconsistencies in how the discount is being applied. A BMW seat is a BMW seat is a BMW seat. Note the following post on the MOA Facebook group.

The discount reminds me of the old joke.
"A man comes upon another man who is repeatedly hitting his thumb with a hammer. When asked why he’s beating his thumb to a pulp, the man with the hammer replies, “Because it feels so good when I stop!” "
The discount feels good while it lasts for those who are able to take advantage of it but only because they have been paying too much all along for BMW parts.
