Smart top purchase

Post by Pipkin38 » Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:02 pm

Hi Guys

As the title suggests I'm looking at purchasing a module for my 2011 e89.

So far I've rung 4 different suppliers and had 4 widely different prices ranging from £390 to 329 euros. Although the euro quote had some small print at the page bottom that said it was comming from Usa and import tax may be payable. This was on the mods4cars site.

So the obvious question is where do I purchase from to get the best price?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Pity I missed the second hand one a few days ago.

I've missed that as well so I was looking around as well and found these two alternatives:

Z4 E89 Comfort Module - http://www.reinhold-engineering.de/frames_e.htm

This is a German copy of the Smarttop module with the exact same functions and it's currently being sold for €199 + €7.90 postage and looking at the reviews it works just as good as the original Smarttop.

or

What I did instead is I went ahead and bought myself a full kit BMW ICOM A3 Pro+ diagnostic tool and an HDD with the latest coding and programming software from EOBD Tool and will code the roof to open/close myself - without the one touch functionality unfortunately but I will manage to live without it somehow. :D It only works with a few Lenovo laptop models but I had one of these anyway. :driving:

If anyone else is looking for one, they have it on Amazon for £320 delivered. I purchased one in May, though for some reason the price has jumped up since I purchased mine?
