      Just for reference, these photos show the difference between the machined-only look & the pc look, from just a few feet away. Filling the letters with white paint would give a similar effect.

        I hate to nit-pick honestly, but since you were already in process of lowering prices- I personally would've tossed these to the side in favor of perfect ones for those who paid the initial price. Totally giving you the benefit of the doubt, I can imagine handling this many orders is crazy. Either way, no big deal.

          That's actually not separation, its pitting because the handles are cast aluminum some have small air bubbles in the cast that show up when we machine them. Unfortunately we can't tell unless you get them under a good light and look in the lettering.

          Either way I'd be glad to swap you out for another set from the next batch or give you a partial refund. I usually catch those, weed them out, and sell them as discounted blemished handles in the FS forum. I'm sorry I didn't catch those before i shipped them. Just PM me and let me know whichever you would like to do.

            Did you by any chance get a spare "BMW Motorsport" set? Please say yes.

              Good news is that the CNC shop finally got the finishing tools in.

              Bad news is that the other PC shop was a bust.

              The powder coat job they did was not very good at all so we had to take them back to the shop we've been using to have them chemically stripped and then have them re-powder coated. So the hunt is still on for a PC shop that can do similar quality work for a little less but until then the price is still the same.

              As you can see we got a few custom handles in the mix as well as a one off ///M Power set, and a couple "BMW M Technic" handles if anyone is interested.

              If you want to buy a set of these NOT powder coated please PM me. The price is $60 shipped (includes core charge) for NON powder coated handles. The finish will come in AS-IS condition so you will be responsible for stripping and painting them however you wish. I am not responsible for how your finish turns out.

                    2 philips head screws under each handle. Very simple to uninstall and install.

                      Awesome, for some reason I thought you had to take the door cards off and get at it from behind.

                            Van, I have some BMW M Technic sets coming back from the PC shop soon. Tried to PM you but your box is full. LMK if you are still interested. I only had 4 sets made and if there is not enough interest these will be the only ones I have made.
