mkoepp Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Have fun putting those in! haha it'll be worth it though. Tiny update. Just bought these and can't wait for them to come =) I have been trying to figure out what these are. Looks like a suspension part but I am not sure.

Earl Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Ordered UUC Motorwerks poly trans mounts and got the enforcer cups for free with their black friday sale. I ordered the front subframe reinforcement kit from AKG too=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Black or red? I have the black ones, not sure if there is a noticeable difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I purchased the blue ones. I believe it is their isolated red ones, but they changed the color. They also did a design change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 The UUC Bushings/Enforcer cups and AKG front subframe reinforcement kit have arrrived. The UUC Bushings are slightly falsely advertised. They are a very dark tranparent blue, almost black. The picture shows them as being a solid Cerulean color. They appear to be very stiff so I am thinking they are correct besides color. I have decided to stay non ///M for front brakes at the moment. I can't seem to justify the extra $100 for rotors and the $150-$200 to source a set of spindles and calipers. If the brakes feel like they should be upgraded when the car is done, I will just do the swap then. My door handles have been shipped and are on the way as well. I can't seem to get the seller to give me part numbers off of the handles themselves to make sure they're legit. He said he shipped them before reading my message and apologizes. I told him if they are fakes that I will be going through PayPal to get a part of the money refunded as stock handles engraved by someone are not worth what I paid. We will hope they are real=) DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 My handles arrived Friday. After a quick look at the part numbers I realized that I got engraved stock handles. A claim has been filed and I am hoping to get at least half my money back. Oh well. They at least look good=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I wouldnt ever run fake door handles. Or fake BBS wheels for that matter. (sarcasm meter asplode) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 The handles are real.... Just not original BMW Motorsports handles. Sucks that they're not real - but as long as they look good and you can get some of your money back it's not a total waste. Makes you hope the guy just didn't know any better tho.

Earl Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 He knew better unfortunately. I found out after I won them that the guy has sold a few pair of counterfeit handles. He has sold genuine ones though, which kept me hopefull. I really wanted them to be real so that I had genuine motorsport handles. That's the only reason I sprung for them=) I have an addiction for rare parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 That sucks then - shitty sellers are the worst. Hope you get your money back!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
