RM European ?
Has anyone ordered from RM European Auto Parts recently? I have never bought anything from them, but their prices seem to good to be true.

I've purchased from them before with no problems. Their prices are good, but in line with FCP Euro, AutohausAZ, and Pelican Parts. What specific parts are you looking referring to?

Just remember they may be 'OEM' not necessarily genuine Mercedes parts. Not necessarily a bad thing but generally the real parts are better usually and cost more. That being said some things like say shocks for example may be same as original but cost cheaper by not coming from Mercedes, same with other things like filters and fluids obviously.

FCP Euro has a tutorial on Genuine vs. OE vs. OEM.
Genuine=Genuine with Mercedes logo
OE="Genuine" part with logo removed or never added. Sometimes the part will be a "genuine" part with the Mercedes marking scratched off.
OEM=Manufacturer of Genuine and OE parts but may not be to the same precision as Genuine/OE.
Because of FCP's return policy, I always check whether an OE or OEM part is listed by them. They are not going to sell something that will fail prematurely.
