Anyone deal with BMA enough to know their return policy? I already saw the sign that says 'all sales final' but I bought the wrong part and I'm not sure on whom the error lies on. I went on their website and input my make/model/year (89 325i) and clicked engine intake boot. Only one thing came up, I got a part number and then called to put one on hold. I was just trying to put it on but turns out its for a t-shaped icv and not whatever I have.

Are there different ICVs within 89s that I didnt know about or did BMA's website screw me out of 25 bucks?

I used to work @ BMA. They will let you exchange it for the right one. :up:

As long as they didnt get it from the dealer as a special order they will exchange or give you credit.

FYI, 87-88 325i had L shaped valves. Your 89 should have a T valve from the factory. Many things happen to a car over 25 years though.

Thanks justin... now slap in a z3 steering rack for me:)

I should be in Sherman Oaks for NAMM/ Vintage guitar trade show/Jazz this weekend.... but alas that doesn't give me time to work on a car:-(

[semaj4712]

Y sherman oaks, isnt namm in Anaheim, im going for work, but just sat

[R3Z3N]

Yes, but I get Lebanese food in Sherman Oaks, and stop by the Monza car dealer to look at cars while drinking coffee. A buddy and I make it an all day bro-date, hanging out, good music, good food, good cars etc.

They're good about taking care of customers.

The wrong intake boot thing is common. Talk to Pat or Sergio and they'll get you the right one.

[reelizmpro]

You could either take it back and get the L valve OR get the correct boot that'll fit that T valve, which is what you were supposed to have anyway. It's up to you.
