Pelican is more expensive than going to the dealer and getting your 20% discount. BTW, Pelican uses standard BMW part numbers as their own, just drop the BW- in the front. Find the part you need through Pelican and then call the dealer.

I got my flywheel for $80 less thru the dealer, plus they didn't charge for shipping. Sometimes you have to wait a long time for backordered parts from Pelican, my dealer can get things from Germany in 3 days but Pelican won't ship anything from Germany, only parts available in the states.

I got a bad taste in my mouth from Pelican, but your results may vary.
