CAtuned *** E30 Coupe Complete Restoration *** Supercharger Page 21

Bimmerworld calls up treehouse, says "Hey can I resell some of your eyeball arms?" Treehouse says, "Sure", and sends them out a couple of pairs at a price. Bimmerworld gets them and thinks, "Our profit isn't much for these arms, I can probably send these off to china through a source and have them made for quite a bit cheaper." China says "Sure, here's the minimum order for XX a set." They show up and bimmerworld lists them on their sight. Their China contact finds out what the parts are for and goes around their back listing them up on ebay for cheaper.

Happens pretty often.

Quoted from another thread a while back.

But other companies do sell em.

Are the quality as good as the ones from Treehouse?
