In 2022, literally the entire range of spare parts has increased in price. And it mainly affected the owners of premium cars, that is, the “Germans”. An air filter for a BMW 3 Series worth 15,000 rubles no longer seems like something from the realm of fantasy. Naturally, people went to car markets and shops, because the necessary goods cost much less there. But you need to know exactly how and what to choose.
Still talking about the air filter, service personnel recommend buying MANN, Mahle or Knecht products instead of the expensive original. Cheaper brands like Filtron will also work. In other cases, you need to accurately evaluate the quality of the product. The same can be said about cabin filters. If the driver does not have any allergic diseases, choose a manufacturer, focusing on your wallet.
As for spark plugs, NGK is recommended, because the price of Bosch products is the same as the original. Where does this abundance come from? Parallel import works. And also, judging by the information from the Windle Telegram channel, the wholesale warehouses of BMW and Mercedes-Benz in Russia continue to function. Well, military personnel themselves bring some details from Germany, with the help of trusted partners.
