EuroCarParts Battery WTF?

I know we have discussed this many times before but wtf is up with this?

I need a new battery for my 335i. Look on ECP, Bosch S5 £178.99 (30% discount code brings it to £125.XX, seems like a good discount.

Quick google search, same battery on Amazon £102 from seller... ECP!!!

Be careful to differentiate between AGM and non-AGM, and also the spec of the battery (mainly the AH figure). Also be sure to register the new battery when you fit it, or re-code if it's different in spec to your original one.

ECP official shop on ebay may be even cheaper. I got my brakes from there £10 less than their official site even after all discounts applied.

3 Recalculate price.
4 Goto Carparts4less website.
5 Find same part as on ECP
6 Add SAVEME75
7 Get another 7.5% off
8 Order
9 Marvel as your parts arrive with ECP marking on the packaging for even less ££!! 🙄

I do this everytime.

Whats so funny??

I was just trying to point out that Carparts4less is the same company as ECP but their prices are always cheaper than ECP (even with their 30% discount codes etc)

The info is there, upto the individual if they want to use it!.

Not always.
It depends on what is the code available for ECP.

In my case battery was cheapest on ecp ebay.

Brakes were cheap from GSF with 55% off.

So just shop around to find the best price.
