Thats exactly how it works. Its not feasible to FX every transaction, so a forward rate is entered into for the year - it can make stuff look totally out of whack price wise if the rates shift.

I'd be ordering genuine parts from BMW Classic directly though - its what I did for the M30 build. Free shipping on orders over EUR50.
