Hi everyone,

Looking to buy an M Sport wheel and found 'car-navigation-systems' website that seems to be selling them with the airbag for only $750, which seems too good to be true. Has anyone ordered from them before or had experience?

THank you!

Interesting. Don't know anything about them but the prices are good.

Probably a drop seller?

Map images in Florida show an auto store and in Boston shows an office building.

Phone number comes back to:

Avner Ittah Age 61 (Mar 1960)

Current Address
11800 SW 18th St #128
Miami, FL 33175

and this part always scares me away from websites:

We accept different payment methods:

Bank Wire Transfer
PayPal
Western Union

Just tell us which is the most convenient for you!
IMPORTANT NOTICE! All customers purchasing via bank wire transfer will get is the BEST DISCOUNT for their order.



I sent an offer of $400, let's see if it's the usual scammer reply.

If the price is too good to be true it typically is..you can even make a offer like eBay seems even more skeptical. I would purchase from places like getbmwparts.com

Curious why does that make you scared?

Usually bank wire transfer or western union or apple gift cards etc is when people get ripped off and come to us to make reports and expect us to be able to go find this person they wired money to and arrest them. Or get their money back.

And paypal friends and family. I even don’t like paypal. Once someone sent me a payment for goods and services. I shipped. Then paypal took the money back and said the person had insufficient funds. Person ghosted me after and about 8 months later I sent someone to their house (in CA, I’m in OH) to collect my money. Lol

Western Union and bank wire transfer are favorites of scammers because you have zero buyer protection. PayPal is better, but not fool proof. I noticed more warning flags on that website. They charge 35e for shipping, and their hours of operation are 10:00 to 18:00 GMT +1. We don't use Euros in the US, nor do we use military time, while Boston and Miami are GMT -5. GMT +1 is the time zone in Nigeria, and if that doesn't set off alarms I don't know what does.

This is what's at the Miami address: https://www.larrysautocarrepairshop.com/
275 Washington St in Boston is a parking garage.

Damn thank you for the heads up everyone. Big help. Will probably go the ebay route then - much much appreciated.

I'm surprised when others want the MSport steering wheel. It just does not hold up to wear and tear. I don't use anything on my wheel and in every bmw it always starts looking like crap after a year. My 2015 4-series had one that had to be refinished from the dealer because it starts peeling.

Give me a real leather steering wheel please!

It needs to be treated pretty frequently, but I think the looks of it over the standard wheel are well worth.
