BMW red hoods
BMW red hoods
The red hood on my M is looking shabby but I wanted an original one which I was led to believe is no longer available.
WRONG - they are available from Germany to special order on a 6-8 lead in time. I have ordered one today and had to pay upfront for it via my local Sytners. I understand BMW have a policy of doing special requests for customers on all the cars.
If you want to know how much it is - dont ask - it'll scare you.
Oh yes - no car club discount on this item

Re: BMW red hoods
I'll give you chapter and verse when I get the receipt from Sytners cos I cant remember exactly how much it was. The fitting is being done by a chap who does Sytners hoods, or at least used to, but I've gone direct to him.
It is approx £1500 all in though.

Re: BMW red hoods
Well that's definately worthwhile if the hood is on its way out. Pics of your new hood when it arrives please!!

Re: BMW red hoods
I had an aftermarket red hood fitted a couple if years ago for £600. I wish I had gone for the genuine article though since its not wearing as well as it should. The genuine hoods always look better IMHO.

Re: BMW red hoods

Re: BMW red hoods
For that price the warranty should cover everything underneath it. I really like the look of a red roof on certain coloured cars so I understand why you'd want to replace it with aon original.Badman gee wrote:im convinced phil, why settle for second best.

Re: BMW red hoods
I believe there is a 2 year guarantee on BMW parts as standard.

Well at long last the new hood has arrived. Being fitted on July 9th so should be ready for Silverstone.
