Did Turner buy ECS Tuning?

So Bavarian Autosport is closing. Anyone got the scoop? Is ECS gonna buy their name too? :p

they’d be the logical buyer.

No wonder the rear filler plate I received was incredibly cheap and no where near the quality of the one I ordered about 5 years ago.

They do list the brand of each item when you make a purchase... even if its ECS's own brand.

It's your fault you opted for the cheaper variant

no, ECS bought turner and pelican parts

Been ordering a ton of parts for my E28 2.7i build from Blunt and FCP. Always fast shipping and customer "relations" from both.

I always email blunt directly and have fun shenanigans exchanged as we eventually discuss what I originally emailed them about... its always CnBs

Bluntech :thankyou::thankyou::thankyou:

Got euro rear plate filler from them, $12 cheaper than everywhere else.
Shipping was fast too.

I know their website is not all that fancy, no army of sales people behind the chat etc but I tell you what, they answered my emails within 5 minutes, guys got a sense of humor too (Steve tried to sell me all 20 plate fillers on his shelf. I made him keep 19 of those 20).

Too bad their http://blunttech.com site is not on top for BMW parts in google search....for them and for the buyer

Truth be told, I just searched using BMW P/N's on their current site and found everything I needed. Only thing I forgot to buy was a set of Bosch coilpacks for my M42...oh well I think I spent enough :-D

I think I heard somewhere that Blunt are building a new online shop right now that should be launching soon? Maybe I am thinking of someone else though...

That's what they said.

I just purchased a hefty order from Blunt Tech right now. Cannot believe that Steve & the boys have ECS beat on the prices of so many parts. Truly remarkable.

Only complaint: didn't find anywhere to make a note of my special CNB request.

Not everything is full retail. The small nuts/bolts hardware is but I still see stuff ranging from 10-15% off list.

That may be, but in my experience BMW Morristown has always been less expensive for OEM and provides excellent service. Even more so now with ECS pricing changes

[scabzzzz]

My experience with ECS is awful of course. All of them.

FCP Euro all the way!

Sites owned by Atlantic Automotive Corp outta Maryland. Looks like they own a bunch of dealerships.

Yeah, Mile One. They own a huge number of dealers in MD. But the parts business is administered, AFAIK, by the two or three BMW parts guys in the Silver Spring, MD dealership.

Bummer to hear about Pelican.

I have only bought a couple things from Turner over the past 18 years. Tischer is good though.

If the new website for Blunttech is a winner then I will be there
