The Guide below has now almost served its purpose!
I wrote the guide as a way of informing ebayers that were unknowingly purchasing these Retrofit Looms from ebay for as much as £199!!, when they could puchase exact same from BMW for upto £60 less.
In the month this guide has been displayed, I have noticed most of these seller's have stopped their cons, and moved on.
Others are now selling for far less than before... currently £149+postage (still too much)
well.. this guide will stay until they either sell it cheaper than BMW (£140 will make it as same as BMW Dealer price).
I would like to thank every one that has voted on this guide, hope it was useful to you.
