Aftermarket late model valance

[mojo_monkey]

Has anyone ever bought one of these? Can anyone attest for the fitment or build quality?

[atomic]

That company has the worst reputation in selling BMW parts. I would run far far away from anything they are offering...

[mojo_monkey]

bav auto recycling? I just know they are known for being expensive, but for a primed straight valance that doesn't seem like a bad price.

[Maluco]

you can find OEM valance's for $30 to $125 on CL/forums/salvage yards... You may even get lucky and find the color you need.

[Huff]

If it's a TRUE OEM valance, that's a very good price.. If it's one of the Chinese re-makes, run far, far away

They are also well KNOWN for not sending you the right parts or COMPLETELY misrepresenting parts they are selling. Others will chime in surely, and give their from the experiences they have had with them.

OP since you are in sacramento, they are local, go visit them and see what the product looks like in real life, if you like it buy it. I wouldn't buy it w/o seeing it first.

Yeah i agree, but i have never heard a complaint regarding NEW parts they are selling, which is what that is.

If they fuck up sending a brand new part, then ok, i'd avoid them. I was actually getting a new euro front bumper from them.

[mojo_monkey]

well I called another auto recycler that's right out near them. My friend told me them about them they're called B&M&W. They have OEM valances for $67. Guy said he'd let me come see what colors and stuff they have. I think I'm going to go with that before I try one of those new aftermarket ones.

Lol

Yeah, I'm pretty sure He who must not be named got screwed by Bav auto recycling. They sent him a Z3 rack instead of a 95 M3, as he had ordered. Then an employee managed to go on a shopping spree with his credit card.

I'm sure you can find one for a decent price elsewhere.

I also will be ordering a euro front center bumper from them. you do it first to make sure i don't get screwed :-D

their ebay rep is 98.8%

I would rather buy from Bav anytime and twice on sunday than from B&M&W.... (personal experience).
