Frustrates me whatever it is that BMW do with parts prices and taking advantage

My neighbour has his shiny '10 plate Insignia turbo and due to an indiscretion backed it into a wall. Took out the rear bumper light unit and a lot of scratching.

Bumper can be fixed, but I was astounded that the entire rear light cluster is just £30 and it's a huge complex piece.

I know I would not want one, but why can't BMW have sensible prices on things like that??
 
Aren't they even the same suppliers? Something like Hella or so?
 
BMW Bike Club used to produce a list of OEM parts and their equivalent produced by the likes of Hella, Lucas et al. Amazing difference in price for what was the same part. Perhaps we could do something similar....?
 
i had a scimitar, lots of parts were taken from other cars

remember when any ford gearbox would fit in your capri?
 
If the parts are so cheap, everyone will be driving a BMW. :( You pay extra for the privilege of owning BMW.
