Kendogg1 came through for me with some premium rear speakers. The transaction was smooth, the package took only about a day to arrive, and they were in great shape. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

Well. I have had the wonderful opportunity to talk to and meet so many people here. Its been an incredible time for sure.

:thanks: Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you! :thanks:

But as they say, all good things must come to an end. The Parts Pimp is going into retirement in the very near future. This situation has a lot to do with our dealership (BMW OF CHATTANOOGA) getting a completely new building :banana: and location come Oct-Nov 'ish. I wont go into details on what I will be doing other than being a big help in our service dept. We will need it for sure.
In short, I will be signing off at the start of Sept. If'n ya need stuff for your ride, better get it soon.
Hopefully this will only be a TEMPORARY retirement plan from the Pimp title. We are already discussing ways in which to continue the services that are present. As of now, there arent any with me "movin on up!"(insert theme song from the Jeffersons) and taking on the tasks handed to me.

Dont worry about me disappearing from this here fine forum. I will stay an enthusiast and a friend to all folks I have come in contact with. :beer:

More updates, pics and useless posts to come from Pimp H.Q . soon. This is not an April 1st joke btw.

Thanks guys.

Brian,

Thank YOU for all your help. :clap: :thanks:

In short, my friend, you're the best in the biz and I appreciate you going beyond the call of duty for me on at least one occassion with a parts return for my former e39. I wish you great success and happiness in your in your new position. Likewise for BMW of CHA in its new location.

Meanwhile, I need to put together my miscellaneous (small) parts list for the upcoming driveline swap project in my '87 535is and will be in touch soon...

WARNING!!!

Wayne Smith (wastas3@sbcglobal.net) in Indianapolis, IN has a fleet of old BMWs for sale. I purchased a M5 from him that he completely misrepresented! Do not buy a car from this clown unless you inspect the car yourself!

I would like to thank a couple of members with whom I've recently done business for used e28 driveline parts (Todd aka T_C_D) and audio gear (RoyW).

Roy and Todd, I sincerely appreciate your assistance with my parts and audio needs. It was a pleasure doing business with each of you.

Best regards,
Tim

e28 Member "pkbinplano" is parting out his parts car and I'd like to say that he is an honest trader, sells his parts for a fair price, and ships them quickly.
I purchased an ECU from him for very reasonable money and I even got a "bonus" in a spare Dinan (or copy) chip.

Steve Haygood does it yet again. I received my e32 brakes in no time, and the price was excellent. Thanks

Like everyone else - thanks to Steve Haygood for parts. He's the man.

On a sadder note:
Be careful when dealing with "Magicandmischief182"

I purchased some H1/H4 headlight housings from him and when they arrived I found them to be significantly different from what was represented to me through email and the telephone.

Update: Jeff (Magicandmischief182) has stepped up and taken care of this misunderstanding. I retract my earlier statements and would like to say that Jeff is an honorable young man who will, in fact, stand behind his wares.

FWIW. I bought a part from "magic and mischief" and it arrived quickly and appears to be as represented. I have not yet installed the chip to confirm that it works properly, but I have no reason to suspect that it will.not. It was packaged securely in a proper eprom box and mailed in a padded envelope. It has an authentic looking D'Sylva label on it.

I also bought parts form "magic and mischief" and he sent them out fast enough, I understand how much trouble it is to part a car that you loved. BMP heat shield and short shifter.

Bought a pair of euro turn signal assemblies with clear lenses from kingkev1. They came very nicely packaged and in really good shape.
Thanks Kevin.

I bought a 3.73 LS diff from e30 Racer, and it was shipped and packed perfectly, and performs flawlessly. Garrick is a fine seller, and I would buy from him again!

I have purchased parts form "magic and mischief" as well, they were used parts, and i did not expect them to be "new", they were packaged perfectly and sent in a timely fashion, his price was more than fair.

headlights are some of the first pieces that rust accumulates on in areas that can hinder adjustment. if you were looking for a perfect set
The center reflectors were loose (jiggle with any movement) and create a "flickering" light effect which is guaranteed to get one pulled over. The retainer rings were bent-up pieces of crap that no self-respecting e28 owner would put on his car
you should have been very specific and definitely requested pictures.

i will definitely be buying from magic and mischief again if he has a part i need.

There are many but I must mention Steve Haygood 1st. I work near his Houston supplier so I've gotten parts within 15 minutes and have bought too many parts to list, but it's always smooth sailing.
I am also grateful to: Ty, MarkM5, Robin, Chacka, IceHaus, TCD, Duke, David Harrison, Autobahn(Sean), Terrible Tony
I have been very fortunate. Kudos to you guys & apologies to those I may have left out.

Just wanted to say "Thanks, Tammer!" for the parts you sent out last week. They arrived earlier this week, but I've been too busy to post feedback..

It takes a lot for me to post publicly about someone.

All I can say is that, regarding Steve Haygood:

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT

Horrible follow up, six or seven weeks for simple items, lost my address 3 times, not sure which parts I ordered, after clarifying several times. Very rushed.

Not one hint of sympathy or an apology.

Not impressed at all.

Will continue to use Maximillian's 800 950 2002 or BMA 818 240 1224

Board member Geerhed is an honest trader. I purchased his Bentley manual, it was in better shape than advertised, and was shipped promptly. He even shipped it prior to receiving my check.

Now only if he would come to his senses and get another e28 . . . . :D

I just had a very good transaction with Azure (Glen), who is parting out a vehicle or two. Was very good with communication and helpful with specifics about the parts I bought from him. Parts came well-packed, quickly and as described. Many thanks, Glen. :thanks:
