Excellent experience with Bert Poliakoff. Clear communication and quick shipping with tracking. Will easily do business with him again.

Had a great experience with Brendan P. He inquired about a set of Hartges, agreed upon a price and pick-up date/time, and was communicative throughout. Seamless transaction. Highly recommended!

Just received my M5 glass hood poster from Doug.

Thumbs up for a good seller. Good clear communications, well packaged robust poster tube that fully protected my poster from Canada Post's finest, while in transit.

Thank you Doug it has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Regards,

Mick

Recently purchased an e34 yellow foglight from Dogabon. Felipe went above and beyond to help me by finding one in Europe and shipping it to me. He's a great seller and i wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again. Thanks for a great transaction.

Purchased B35 manifold and pipes in great shape from Bimmerguy2002. Such a gracious and stand up guy. Thank you Matt!

Dave(kojo96) is a stand up guy. Was looking for a car cover for the e28 said he had one for and e23 but was too short that he was willing to part with but wasn’t sure if it would fit an e28. He was kind enough to let me take it and try it before any money was exchanged. Low and behold the cover fits like a glove.

Definitely will do busiiness with him again.

A BIG Up to Wallothnesch!! Great pricing, easy inexpensive, fast shipping. And they sent me a big parts calalog of all parts for my e12. Big blue binder, super cool and useful to boot. Im getting my cart ready for another buy here real soon. thumbs up to Yosemite Sam, Mike W., Ron D. firstfives crew.

Time for a long overdue acknowledgment. I know that others have recommended South26 as a seller, but I should definitely show my appreciation as well. I have bought many parts over the last 2 years from Andy, and he has always come through. He has gone out of his way to help when things were on the time sensitive side, he is fair with prices on pieces, quick with shipping, and ships with solid packaging. Thanks to Andy for helping me keep my car in order.

Special thanks to Kojo. Purchased a rear sunshade for my girlfriends e28. Packaged & shipped lightning fast.

My son thanks you too!

Also a shout out to Sundeep, picked up e28 Bentley. Shipped next day, item better than described. Thank you!

Thanks to Bunty. Bought some wheels, good price, and shipped fast. No problems.

I bought a trunk lid from Hector (fastcrs). I met him at his house in Stockton, CA - GREAT guy. His description and pictures he sent me before I drove up there were accurate - no exaggeration. This is the second time I bought parts from him. I'd definitely do so again (...and again).

ElGuappo · Post by **ElGuappo** » Aug 17, 2018 5:58 PM

I bought a set of Eibach springs from KrautnotRice, for an excellent price.
He gave me a shipping estimate, which I gladly paid.
When shipping was less than expected, since they fit in a flat rate box, he was kind enough to MAIL ME the difference!
That is what I call a stand-up guy and excellent service.
I will not hesitate to do business with him again.
Cheers

I had the same type of experience. Bought a lower dash/kick panel from him and he refunded me the $8.00 he was over in his shipping estimate. Hated to see that he was parting out but glad to do biz with him

Very friendly and will likely do business with again!

Johnmatukas joined today and has sent me the same message 4 times for 2 different posts and hasn't responded. Both posts he was referencing have been WTB's that I have already closed out. Probably a bad idea to deal with them.

Thanks for posting this. He contacted me too 3x & hasn't responded to me. Spam suspect.

jarchitype · Post by **jarchitype** » Sep 15, 2018 2:36 AM

Hey Folks,

Has anyone had any dealings with "Uberdeus"? I responded to his recent add for leather sport seat covers for front e28 sport seats. I sent $800 payment via paypal and have received nothing but radio silence after sending him my mailing information. I'd like to think this is just a delay and I haven't been scammed. It's just very odd that the there's no response as soon as money was sent. The dude's name is Justin and his email is justinneigel@gmail.com. I've had credible dealings with everyone selling on this forum except this time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

south26 · Post by **south26** » Sep 15, 2018 6:58 AM

Hopefully you did not send as a gift. I would contact PayPal now with a dispute.

Andy

I'm new to feedback in the forum.

I had posted a WTB... guy responded quickly in PM only, not to thread. I shared phone number with him. I was trying to buy a valve cover for S38B35. He said he had one, sent me an image of one. I'm busy, and since it took him a week or so to respond to my PM back to him... didn't think there was a "RUSH" to complete transaction. He wanted Money-Gram for payment. He also offered I send him an ITune card when I wasn't thrilled with the app's ratings for phone use. Guy called with "No ID" on his phone number, and wouldn't let up with phone calls. I think I got 7 in a row this AM at work. DEF not sending this guy money, especially now that his account is gone.

Similar experience. Bought his SAAB moonroof and it was packed impeccably. Clearly he takes care of his stuff and would purchase from him again.

Thanks Doyfola!

LarryM · Post by **LarryM** » Oct 03, 2018 1:06 AM

I'm obligated to get up to speed and give a big thumbs-up to a couple of reputable guys from whom I've purchased major parts:

Alpinass (Paul) - A few years ago I bought a 3.64 LSD from him. He said it was originally from an E34 and had been resealed. Since then I've driven my car almost 10K miles, and it's performed flawlessly. It was reasonably priced, too.

vviking (Sherman) - While gathering parts for my E24's 5-speed conversion, I bought a 265/6 tranny from him and it turned out to be a bad one (extremely noisy 1st gear, probably bearings on their way out). Neither of us knew it was bad until my conversion was completed over a year later, yet he stood behind it and found a good replacement for me which has worked out fine. I also bought a resurfaced M5/533 flywheel from him. He's a great guy to do business with.

VZehn · Post by **VZehn** » Oct 04, 2018 2:46 PM

Aplinass endorsement!

Just purchased from Alpinass a recovered e28 dashboard in German vinyl. Arrived in packaging that kept it safe and secure. It's a wonderful bit of workmanship, very high quality. And Paul is very easy and responsive to deal with.

Please don't hesitate to work with Paul.

Post by **Nebraska_e28** » Oct 09, 2018 12:34 PM

Thanks to G28I for the midnight parts assist!

Also props to kojo96 for bird doging a Recaro for me!

And Eric Q. for an awesome deal on a well represented e23!

+1 for south26.

Easy and the misc parts were here in decent shipping time. Thanks.

Always helped me out on parts regardless the time of day.

Another endorsement for Paul. Rear seat in better condition than description. Thank you Paul!

There is a person going by the name of Pavel Jordi Overmars from Surbiton in the UK advertising the engine from a M6 chassis #WBAEE1415J2561765 for sale. It was on a Craig's list add in London. I contacted him and I made arrangements for it to be delivered to a shipper to crate it and ship it to me in the US. I put a deposit on the engine and he immediately stopped all communication.

I transferred the funds to his bank account and I have contacted the bank to inform them about this, I don't expect I will ever hear from him again and I'll chalk this up to a learning experience but I am going to be as public with this as I can and hope to keep someone else from falling for this scam.

BONDOSPECIAL · Post by **BONDOSPECIAL** » Nov 28, 2018 11:39 AM

Overdrive sold me a neat vintage 1980's refurbished leather Hella sport steering wheel, shipped from Latvia to the US. The steering wheel is in perfect condition and he sent it promptly. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.

dsw99a · Post by **dsw99a** » Nov 30, 2018 8:12 PM

Chris Scow of Leatherwheels.com recovered a 320i sport steering wheel. It is incredible. I would use him again. fast turnaround. takes pride in his work and reasonable. i wish i could post pics. im not that saavy.

Post by **tig** » Nov 30, 2018 9:32 PM

@jhh925 (Jens) - AAA+++ TOP SELLER. WILL BUY FROM AGAIN.

Told me he had an near perfect late-model carpet set. I believed him. He packed it well and shipped it promptly. It is as described (maybe better). Good guy and good seller.

VZehn · Post by **VZehn** » Dec 17, 2018 8:56 AM

Here's another great piece of work by Chris Scow - he created an OEM-like gear shift knob for me. http://leatherwheels.com/contact.htm

I had an origianl shift knob but the leather was shot, and so I sent it to him for repair. What I didn't know was that the innards were shot too - the plastic tabs that snap the knob to the gear shifter shaft had shattered. So plan B was to find a cheap replacement knob and use the innards on the original - but of course modern knobs are one-piece manufactured. I did find a replica knob (eBay!), but it wasn't leather, so I sent that to Chris to leather. I also sent him the original shift boot to sew to the leather knob, just like OEM.

Chris is excellent to work with - he was very heplful in creating a solution. And his leather work us first-rate.

Looking forward to doing business with David again in the future.

Thank you David.
