Bought an Alpina front lip spoiler from Redline (Povilas). The product was shipped quickly and was wrapped very, very well. It arrived from over the pond in great shape. Thanks Povilas!

Guy going with the username : "Wierd Al" . Name Alonzo Taylor - email : 324tdi@gmail.com

Don't even bother with him. Will waste your time for a few weeks with " Oh I got the part but let me check my warehouse" .... "oh didn't have the time to go to the warehouse but will go next week" .. and so on. Till he just stops replying.

Not a very pleasant experience considering I stopped searching for my parts as he said he has them and so on. Set me back quite a bit.

Bought some fogs and turns from slamyy85, shipped promptly. Despite the USPS doing their best to crush the contents of the box they were packed very well and arrived with no damage.

Ray in Phoenix for sure knows he IS a stellar seller, I just needed to say it out of my appreciation. Every time I have purchased something from this gentleman it has been a great buyer experience in every way: Gas tank, rear head rests and now fuse box cover.
Thank you sir!

My tale of woe.

Tried to buy an oil pan from a user called "Cpncst" for my 1985 535i. I'm a new member and, frankly, I really like this community. So this guy responded to my post with a PM. Told me his name was Chris Parks. I glanced at his account to make sure he was a legit member and saw he had joined in 2013. Great. He offered to sell me a used oil pan. Sent me pics. The price was great. I decide to give him the benefit of the doubt. Sent him PayPal. Now he has vanished and no oil pan. Stopped responding.

So, learn from my mistake. Search the forum and this thread BEFORE sending some random guy from the internet money. Had I done that, I would have realized that the user has never posted on this board and has never been mentioned. Bad signs.

Lesson learned.

Did you pay with paypal? If so you can file a claim if it has been less then 3 months.

Yeah, Andy. I've begun the process with PayPal. Finger crossed.

Some very positive feedback for George (Blackhella) - I purchased some NLA headlamp parts, which were exactly as-described, packed safely, and shipped very quickly. I'd buy from George again anytime.

Recently purchased a b34 oil pan from Ralph in SoCal. Absolute perfect seller. If he has something you need, get it. Extremely responsive, very fair pricing, top shelf reconditioning and prompt packing/shipping..I really can't say enough good things about him. Thanks Ralph!

South26 went above and beyond on getting a rip free full back seat (upper & lower) shipped greyhound from Ohio to NC. Also purchased 3 door latch surrounds in good condition ...all for very fair pricing! Great seller...great communication.

Has anyone sold anything to Salsam350 in the UK? This guy is a ripoff artist who will complain about the quality of used parts and then want his money back. Beware!

Andy did a great job upgrading my e24 tails and then went WAY beyond the call of duty to scrounge North America for an obscure Hella 3rd brake light assembly for me. He's my go-to guy for anything that emits photons...

I bought a fuel pump and filter bracket from fukoa. I received it before my paypal cleared, I was very surprised. It was in like new condition with all hardware and packed very well. It was well worth the price and would buy from him again.

Thanks again fukoa

Don't buy from e28 goodies .com. After hounding them via email for a couple of weeks, they send me taillight gaskets instead of chrome window trim.

Had an excellent transatlantic transaction with Felipe (dogabon).

Communications were crystal clear, action prompt, packaging A1 and the 30 year old 9 litre fuel tank is like new.

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

Thank you Felipe.

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.

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.

harrypalmer · Post by **harrypalmer** » Apr 25, 2018 12:14 PM

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

Angel · Post by **Angel** » Apr 30, 2018 4:06 PM

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.

russellrh72 · Post by **russellrh72** » May 22, 2018 12:30 PM

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!
