I ordered the Vorsteiner rear diffuser from them a few weeks back, and they told me it would ship last Monday. They emailed me mid-week saying it had shipped and gave me a tracking number. As of today the tracking number still does not work, but they say it has in fact shipped. Has anyone dealt with them before? I feel like sometimes these car parts places have a higher scam rate than other industries. I'm not accusing them of anything right now, but I'm jut wondering if anyone has had a bad experience.

I spoke to Bob today to order a black M3 badge... He seemed pretty cool told me he'd personally stick it in the mail immediately and I would have it by the end of the week. I already got confirmation emails that my order was filled and shipped. This is my first experience with them. Seems good so far.

Understand that Bob, and every other authorized Vorsteiner dealer is subject to Vorsteiner's inventory. Many retailers do not often stock parts due to the cost of inventory and the convenience of drop shipping directly from the manufacturer. I know of others who have experienced delays with Vorsteiner. It's unfortunate, but when you have a quality product and virtually no competition, it happens.

Ok, it is Vorsteiner who is the problem here. I don't want to make bimmerperformancestore look bad, and they have stayed in communication and been very upfront. I just got worried when they said it shiped and it hadn't ... that is usually the sign of a scam, but in this case it was not their fault at all. I can certainly recommend them to anyone considering their quick communication.

We are currently backordered on all E92 M3 coupe products. There are a small handful of dealers that have very few in stock but most likely are sold or allocated to customers already. Please contact your sales representative to find out what the correct lead times are for your order. Thank you, |

BPS Vorsteiner Orders
Quote:
I HAVE added the option to order E92 M3 parts in 2x2 twill, but we're trying to be VERY clear THAT pattern will not match your OE CF roof. If you're OK with that, Vorsteiner is happy to make your parts however you want them. My personal preference is 2x2, because it has a more defined look, but that wouldn't match your roof. My AW E92 M3 is coming at the end of next month, so I just ordered MY parts in 1x1. I think it might look really funny if the CF weave was not consistent throughout the entire car. Those of you that have never order a Vorsteiner or any other hand-made part, let me give you a little overview of the process.
So, ordering a Vorsteiner part is very limited production product, which makes it very exclusive. About a year ago, a member at the m3forum.net. made a very misguided comment and said "I don't want CSL parts on my car, because I don't want it to look like everyone else's". My response to that was, "Of course you realize the ONLY places you'll see THIS kind of concentration of Vorsteiner parts is on the forum and at BimmerFest". In your town, it's VERY unlikely you'll drive up to another Bimmer and feel like you're looking at your car's twin. If you'd like to order Vorsteiner parts and would like to reduce your lead times, we have E92 M3 bootlids, spoilers and diffusers on order. Sales of Vorsteiner E92 M3 parts have now exceeded sales of E46 M3 parts, so the current lead times are 3-4 weeks. Our order will be due in 2-3 weeks, so please go on line and place your order if you'd like to take advantage of our pre-orders. Thanks, Bob
