Ok. I've got a few experiences from a few vendors here.
Where to begin..
I've dealt with Joe from Trinity, Tony/Quad_M, Vincent / Ronny from Eurorev, and Darwin from SonicMS.
First off, I can definitely say Quad_M sucks. It took forever to get my M-Tech Bumper and my M5 mirrors. But this was back in Spring of 2007.
Now for more recent transactions.

Darwin is a nice guy, and I ordered my Vorsteiner Spoiler from them. It took about 6-7 weeks to receive. It was cutting it close to be excessively long but he was able to sent it next day air after he received it from Vorsteiner.
I was say it was mixed, not too fast, but not too slow. They were alright. It just stinks that I'm from NY and most of the vendors are in the west coast.

I hope this helps people before they purchase anything.

My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I'm so close to Darwin and the SonicMS guys that I feel as if it's unfair for me to post my comments since they could be viewed as biased. hahaha
With the exception of the Dinan performance parts on my 545, they've done everything else on that baby and have done 99.9% of the work on my M5 (except the Dinan Stage II). And the only reason they didn't do my Dinan mods is because I went straight to Dinan for my 545 stuff and a Dinan dealer for my stagge II suspension on the M5 and got great deals.
Darwin has become a personal friend of mine and have gone out of his way many times to ensure that I'm happy with the products and services they sell me.

I had Darwin send me my wheels last week. He didn't make a single penny on the deal and did this during normal, business hours. It was a total favor to both, Tony and myself. I have never ordered anything from Darwin before, however, his customer service and follow-up with my wheels was OUTSTANDING! If I were living in NorCal still, I would be living at his shop every day! Great guy! Highly recommend.

SonicMS is Legit! They transformed my car to what it is today, I can't thank them enough for everything that they have done. I'm with them so much it has become my second home without paying rent! 
Special thanks to Darwin, Al, Barret, Justin, Anthony and the rest of the SonicMS crew!
