hmm, yeah, prices can be all over the place.
As far as tires, what i mean to say is you could use Craigslist or this site to find a set of BMW rims with tires. (for example, i am selling mine all 4 rims with new tires for $350) You should be able to find sets cheap like this. It would not be mixing or matching, you just buy all 4 from someone else, swap them to your car, and sell your old ones online. All BMW rims will fit your car if they are sizes 15 - 17 and should be able to be swapped over without any hassle. you should be able to find 15 inch sets very cheap since no one wants them. I sold a set of four 15s for $50 with good tires already to someone on this site.
Just food for thought. but the $1500 bill does worry me. I would atleast take it to a different shop and ask for a quote. you may be surprised. |
