fair point, if the GP wannabes suck up all the spare stock and 2 yrs down the road you cant get replacements when you have a prang you will be slightly more than miffed to say the least
so good on mini for making life a little difficult
having said that badges and mirror caps should be fair game, so perhaps a little bit would be ok?
its not as if BMW have to tie up millions of pounds in stock to cover these sorts of parts
i feel most for the people who require the benefits of some of the GP engineering IE front air dam undertray and rear wing for aero dynamics, brake cooling, and will paint them yellow/green/black etc so no intention to dilute your guys exclusivity, just like to go around corners a little quicker
to rub salt in the wound best guess 50% of GP owners will never even see a track anyway
i have an easy solution is that all parts supplied must be fitted by bmw dealers, so what price on exclusivity
then if i feel i need a gp wing i will have to find the money, this way any clone attempts if you wanted to build a whole car at dealer labour rates will cost 100k
