Did Turner buy ECS Tuning?

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

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

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

no, ECS bought turner and pelican parts

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

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

they’d be the logical buyer.

I haven't bought anything there in a while, but I was just looking for new floormats for my E30. I have BavAuto mats in my E90 and they're super nice - way better than the paper mache garbage BMW puts in new cars..

Someone said that was rumored. I'm hoping it's just that though. (the ECS part)

i've ordered parts from ecs for some time.
the packaging is not great, but no real problems.
i got a caliper seal lost in the mail.
Called their number and got it resent. a month later the lost in the mail one came in, for some reason.

right now they're giving a $50 gift cert if u leave a good review on trustpilot.
not going to do that.
maybe to counter the bad talk about them.


i usually order from them because of the easy to handle website.
bma, because the r3v discount. or pelican was the usual ordering point before ecs.

just did a price comparison blunttech vs ecs it's like a $26 saving with bluntech on z4 hubs and bearings.
so never ordering from ecs again considering all the buy outs is to eventually control the go to bmw sites to ultimately jack
up the prices.

We aren't always going to be the cheapest, but we will try if we can. We try to stay as competitive as possible on pricing, but if there is anything stands out as seemingly too high, you can always shoot me a message and I'll see if I can match or beat it. We draw from several suppliers, some of which aren't incorporated directly into the site, so we might be able to get a part cheaper than what is displayed (especially on aftermarket replacement stuff).

got this in my box from ecs that looked like it was in the dryer. box was ready to fall apart. all plastic pillow balloons popped.

100 gift card on a 160 order on wine. ok...
Wtf? by jet jones, on Flickr

I get those wine cards all the time. You have to really drink a lot of wine and like what they send you for it to be worth it.

they bought their inventory, I don't believe they acquired them like Turner though. Wicked shitty, that place was great to the e30 community in New England. I'm gonna miss all the meets they had up there and being able to pick up parts same day

Have you guys allowed intentional orders direct from website yet?
Last time I couldn't even get it shipped to my freight forwarder in the US as the credit card was non US.
