buymbparts gave me a hard time. Their packaged came in time but they sent me the wrong item. They didnt take the blame for the action and never gave me a refund or exchange for the parts...

APP is right, Christian LIE has 9 posts and refers folks to this site on every post. Can we get a delete?
This wreaks of self-promotion and this is not the place for that.

I'm even thinking on the basis of a complete scam.....
BTW I'd go for the $40.00 EL illuminated Gauge set if I was confident they would end up at my doorstep.

these guys sent me a grille that didn't fit. And it was a hassle getting it corrected. I ended up just getting my money back...
www.advancedjdmparts.com
bought my headlights here. Good customer service, fast shipping, good product, competitive prices. Although they don't specialize in Euro cars I would recommend this place.

I won't lie, I actually work here haha. But I order parts all the time and it's always right the first time, and the people in the office can find you just about anything OEM

Not an online business but they are a based here in Bellingham, Washington, and I would definetly recommend these guys for custom fabrication work.

Christian - I think you would have gathered some support if you would have come clean and said that you are just drumming-up some business for your web site. Everybody’s got the right to make a living. However, with that response, you probably lost all credibility…

I don't think I stressed enough the site I posted earlier.
I ordered my motor mounts Thursday at 9:30pm, and got them this morning before I woke up. I did not pay for express shipping. Just the standard $7.00 fedex ground. MA to CA in lass than 36 hours.
I checked today and the website I used (www.rockauto.com) has them priced @ $29.00 each, whereas AutohausAZ has them at around $45.00 each. Even eBay can't beat them, as theyre listed at around $65.00 a pair.
EXTREMELY fast shipping, rock bottom prices, and my orders have always been accurate the very first time. Everyone boasts about how great customer service is when there is a mistake, but it's nice to never have a mistake in the first place.
www.rockauto.com FTW

I ordered one front euro plate on jan. 15. Still hasn't arrived. I've been in contact with these guys and they tell me every week that I can expect it mid week, or by the end of the week, I'm sure you all know the drill. If I don't see it this week I can at least say that I'm happy that I paid through paypal

They have everything here for lowering just about any car. Just placed my order last friday so we'll see how their shipping and whatnot works out.

I would hardly consider Beck/Arnley or FEBI-Bilstein "Taiwan copies". Even if they were selling an off-brand product, that's likely what you would get with eBay, and it's still cheaper.
I'm not saying that it's a 1 stop shop for every thing you're going to need. By all means, still shop around and decide what place has the best option for you. Just putting it up as a cheap, well established and trustworthy website to add to your indexes.

Febi or Bilstein may be OEM for some items. Beck-Arnley is not. If the site tells you what brand of parts you are buying, that's fine... decide if you want that brand. Note that some of the great prices are only on off-brand items... for example, for tie-rod assemblies, there's a $12 item made by Uro (translation: junk) while the Febi part is $36. For (W124) ball joints, they don't even offer any OEM items, only brands that are not Mercedes OEM's. For German cars, you generally do NOT want to buy "American" brand parts like TRW, Moog, Beck-Arnley, Monroe, AC-Delco, etc. [flame suit on]
Worse yet, Rock Auto shows ball joints for a 124.032 (1994 E320), when they don't exist! All 124's with M104 (and M119) engines have non-replaceable ball joints. The ball joint they show is for diesels, or 300E's with M103 engines. Be careful with catalogs like this... it's always best to use the Mercedes EPC to look up your part numbers, then enter the part numbers at the website. That goes for all part places, not just RockAuto, btw!

I don't agree however with Uro Parts being junk. Ive used them to rebuild nearly an entire E30 BMW and the car ran perfectly solid for the 3 years my friend owned it. They do have a factory in Taiwan, so maybe I was lucky enough to have over 30 ordered parts come from a different facility.
Also, my ball joints/tie rods are beck-arnley, and theyve held up fine for the 18 months Ive had them on. You definitely can't go wrong with OEM parts, so you can afford them go for it. But, I guarantee that the vast majority of the people who will read this thread in the years to come will be trying to find the cheapest solution for their parts. Come on, the cars are nearly 20 years old as it is.
