The big problem is I buy for customers, to sell, not for personal use.

The 2nd set, never shipped, My friend in US helped to call them, but got promises from them again.

They promised to refund me, but after weeks, money never arrived back
Keep away from them or you will lose money.
Thank you for the info. I was about to pull the trigger on the kit but will go with another vendor. I think Get BMW Parts has the same deal and they've been servicing this community for a long time: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462

We also had problems with your delayed payment and had to cancel parts with BMW and then order again because of this. Your previous wheel orders were processed and shipped promptly and given special prcing. Your canceled order will be refunded as soon as we get our refund from the dealer for the canceled parts and can deposit to paypal as noted in emails.

Any missing parts i will be sure to get to you as there is no intent to short you at all.

Thanks in advance.
It comes with all necessary parts but its 1077 on getbmwparts for cars with fog lights. There was over 22 pieces that came with it. A whole box full of parts including the bumper. Got side skirts too.

I'm ordering my M-sport as soon as my KW V3s are shipped from Germany. I'll throw my APEX EC-7 wheels on at the same time. Can't wait.
