A lot of guys in Europe run these and from what I heard personally and what I've seen via photos and video the fitment is pretty damn good, I was thinking about getting one myself tbh.

Good to know! I have a black X5M, I feel like CF would be excellent

That's for DHL. I'm sure a supplier can be asked to use a cheaper shipping method.

I'll message supplier today, let's see what he comes up with.

I used to import from China all the time, DHL is generally very pricey. I'd rather wait a few weeks extra than overpay for shipping

Messaged supplier, waiting for a reply.

If we can work out a deal, I'll 100% buy one.

Yes. Nothing good so far. The supplier has jacked up the shipping price and stated that he can only ship by sea even though he charges DHL's prices.

Shipping is a logistical pain. You have to be near a major (air)port, and file import papers yourself. Can be done, but you have think twice before you do it.
