Please also do not purchase this item if you are unfamiliar with determining whether this item is functional or not, as some current buyer's of items are definately incapable of making that determination, or timely seeking those who are. YES, I WILL KEEP THIS ITEM RATHER THAN SELLING TO YOU NOOBS (re-seller middlemen, general mechanics--or professional third-parties making money off the humble BMW e30 community--and mechanics who troubleshoot by replacing parts, not BMW specialists)!  As my listings are free, I'd rather save my parts and resell next Fall (i.e. parts not yet listed: (i) BBS BMW e30 "Euroweaves", 15x7 et24 4x100 with hubcaps; (ii) Alpina A/C vent four-function digital readout (engine oil pressure and temperature, LSD differential temperature, and Manifold Pressure); and (iii) BMW e30 M-Technic deadpedal/footrest) to an e30 or BMW enthusiast/mechanic who truly appreciates them for what they are, and not focused as much on how much they cost and yet be completely clueless as to whether item is functional or not.

As a result, if you feel you cannot leave feedback within a reasonable time period for the particular item--especially those whose "fitness is self-evident in itself" like a plastic body panel, requiring absolutlely nothing to test--please do not purchase this item, as I will block you from subsequent purchases. Similarly, many electrical parts, such as lights, horns, motors, etc, can be tested by using the applicable in-line fuse wired to a 12v car battery positive terminal, and separate wire connected to the negative.  Many switches can be tested the same way using a light bulb or test light. You don't need a BMW to do such tests, let alone a car. I stand behind my products, but not the clueless...   

Although I am ALWAYS willing to give POST-sale technical support, almost every product I sell on E-Bay is BMW Original Equipment, or Original Equipment Manufacturer, and should require little technical support with the vast amount of information from BMW Dealer's, Independent BMW Mechanics, on the Internet, local BMWCCA, tuning meets, friends, etc.  I will try to give you all the technical post-sale support you need, but please do some independent research BEFORE you contact me, and we will be better able to solve your issue.  Don't be like the clueless high-point E-Bay buyer who purchased a Motronic #173 ECU, complained about a "Check Engine" light (CEL), but did'nt realize that Motronic 1.3 has "adaptive learning" requiring repeated on-off cylces of the ECU to adapt from "brand new" factory engine fuel and ignition timing maps to be "re-mapped" for their specific used engine, which throws a CEL until adapted.  "Adaptive learning" and storage of fault-codes in ROM is the distinguishing feature between 1.1 and 1.3, and a little research by that NOOB would have gone a long way before accusing me of selling a so-called "defective product." Of course that buyer is now "NOOB BLOCKED."                 

Any buyer not leaving feedback will also be blocked. The Internet is also a huge forum that can democratically determine the validity of an item, and I would be happy to discuss the validity of any of my items, especially on any BMW forum. Of course that applies both ways, as in certain instances--especially small businesses--you may find it necessary to reply to my original threads discussing your "professional" expertise and competence, and please feel free to complain about me there also.

Finally, feedback for buyer's will now only be given after feedback is given to me the seller first.

If you have been blocked, do NOT attempt to contact me in any way, as I will first report you to E-Bay, then the applicable law enforcement agencies for statutory harrassment, and then the applicable Internet forum. YOU HAVE BEEN SPECIFICALLY BLOCKED BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO CONDUCT ANY FUTURE BUSINESS WITH YOU!

I pull weeds for a living, am rank-amatuer mechanic like most other's on E-Bay, and quite assuredly most buyer's easily have better skills and credentials, so the above requirements should be easily met.

This item will only be shipped to addressing where USPS "signature confirmation" is available (no P.O. boxes), or to United States servicemen/women having an APO, FPO, etc.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
