F30 parts from china/Taiwan
I'm planning to buy CF trunk spoiler, CF front splitter and glossy black grills from eBay.
I was wondering are the quality any good? When they say made with real carbon fiber is that true? or these from **********s why is mod bargain blocked? there no OEM but there alot cheaper should they be good quality or the same as the ones from taiwan? http://www.**********s.com/BMW-F30-C...ror-Covers.htm http://www.**********s.com/bmw-f30-3...er-spoiler.htm Last edited by Dan_335i; 03-08-2014 at 07:25 PM.. |

If you ever modded your previous cars before you will know that it isn't easy to make aftermarket parts for the cars that fit perfectly even if they were made say in Europe. |

Not entirely true here.... I bought two different black-gloss kidney grills... one a year ago for my 2011 328i... and another just recently for my 2014 328i that's finishing up in production.... both grills have been flawless and fit perfectly.
Saved me over $120. Cost me $60 for both. (Left and right) Here is the link I got mine from.. definitely recommend it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=171253192866

I can attest to aftermarket parts as well. I bought a set of matte grills and the notorious $89 painted spoiler from a seller in China and neither have any problems with fitment. Don't let someone else make you feel bad for putting whatever YOU want on YOUR car.

as long as you buy from a good seller, then all is good.
I bought my mirrors, grilles, and spoiler from JBSpeed on my 1er. Mirrors were 120, grilles 120, spoiler 200. OEM is like 550,120,600) or along the lines. Fit and quality were perfect BTW

Plus most of these guys offer hassle-free returns no problem. I also ordered Aluminum ///M brake and gas pedals... as well as Vinyl M Performance Side Skirt decals... I'll post pics when I get them. But I get my car in May.. So won't be able to say how well everything works till then but with my current 2011 328i.. never had an issue with any ordered parts!

I have no prolem with chinese or taiwan products. I have bought the CF mirror caps from taiwan, and fitment was great. I can also confirm It Is real CF. Bought Painted trunk spoiler and matte black kidney grills from china, also great fitment and painting.
I say go ahead and buy. Saves you alot of money. They work great, but is not OEM quallity. |

The Chinese market can make some of the worst stuff you've seen but also high quality stuff as well. It's not a monolithic block of crap. The issue is finding the quality makers over the crap makers. Remember, BMW assembles a lot of cars in China using both domestic and imported parts. Not a surprise there are parts suppliers who are able to provide parts that fit like OEM.

I bought the painted M Perf replica spoiler for my F30 for $88 from an eBay seller in Taiwan. Perfect fitment and the paint matches 95%.. Sometimes you need to take a chance but remember it's a little more risky with CF
Don't let some guys convince you that cheaper price = cheap quality.. $88 is a lot of money for a spoiler since they're selling hundreds of them with very low manufacturing cost and close to 0 overhead..
