I took a gamble and ordered alcantara interior/sidemirror caps and blinkers from Wish

I got the red alcantara door handles and grey M performance dash trim. I also got the M3 mirror caps and sequential blinkers.

My expectations were low but when I got everything installed today I was surprised as to the high quality, everything looks good and I'm actually very happy with it considering the price!

You're lucky. It's been confirmed by multiple sources that Wish deals not only in knock-offs but also outright counterfeit goods. If you know it's a knock off that's one thing, but I'd never buy anything there that claims to be BMW OEM.

Oh really? I had no idea. That's definitely good to know, thank you!

Genuine dash trim looks like this...



...so they've probably got away with 'counterfeiting' or 'copying' by changing the logo slightly.

Yeah, Wish is the capital of knock-offs and fakes.

Just search for Rolex or Seiko...you'll find quite a few astonishing $20-$30 deals!

That being said, for the items that don't pretend to be something they aren't, I've never had problems with things I've gotten from Wish, as long as expectations are kept reasonable.

Changing the logo makes it a knock-off. That's not illegal. When they don't change the logo and do whatever they can to make it look like the real thing it's counterfeiting, which is illegal big time.
