Poor service issues from vendors?

If I didn't already have an M3 or any other BMW for that matter, I might have steered away from it after reading all of the negative remarks about various vendors and their service. Aside from that, are there any companies out there that you can extol for their service and/or willingness to bargain a good price?

There are plenty of great vendors out there. Even one's that have a bad post about them still have plenty of happy customers. I know on this forum, most of us (east coasters) use Bavarian Performance Group ,HMS motorsport and Bimmerworld. West coasters (and some east coasters, depending on shipping prices) use Evosport. There are plenty of people that will chime in with good and bad stories.

While i agree with phil. I will definetly say 100% if you are looking to go into the realm of forced induction stay away from RMS. Their hardware is beautiful, however their tuning is atrocious. I have heard way to many horror stories about them to not let you know.

Also i do have to let you know that depending on which forum you visit the vendors names will be protected. This is due to the fact that someone on the staff may be sponsored by a vendor. I can say though that not one member of our staff is sponsored.

I didn't mean to sound like a Public service announcement.

Hows that ticking sound in your m3, figure out what it was ??

Thanks...it's nice to be back on this site, especially with all of the E36 emphasis. That ticking noise was definitely from a low oil level. Adding 1/4 quart eased it, but I was due to change my oil anyway.

Can't wait to purchase some goodies in the next month or so. I'll keep an update later on.
