Hi Guys,

Like a lot recent customers of quad_m :thumbsdown: I have had a horrible experience. But the modding must go on

I would very much applicate it if you guys could give me any kind of feedback dealing with ROVERACTIVE on eBay. They have awesome feeback but so does quad_m so I just want to double check.

Thanks guys.

Damn, your kits still not done ! Must be quite frustrating.

Hope you got a refund from quad_m?

Have you thought about going to one of the local chaps in Bombay to make you a kit from scratch? I have seen some good quality work being done by RIO design (I have seen an X3 with his kit on it) and DC, I'm sure they can fabricate the entire kit to your taste and design....show them a few close-up images of what you want.

Worth a shot if you ask me, would be cost-effective too.

Justin from Roveractive has been good so far. Also contact Alex Neetzel <bmw-chromteile@web.de> he is another good seller.

I have seen Roveractive at ebay for along time ago and their products are a bit overpriced in my opinion.

What are looking to buy? Are there no vendors on here that might be able to get you what you want/need? It would seem quad_m is not the norm for most vendors on here...GL

I've dealt with Justin at Roveractive.
I bought a window switchpanel from him.
Prices aren't the cheapest, but good communication and fast service. Packaging could be a bit more careful

Have you tried bmwofbloomfield ?? They are an authorised dealership.

They are legit - I've purchased from them - but you may be able to find a better deal elsewhere. But, if $$$ isn't a concern, you shouldn't have any troubles going through them.

I have purchased a couple things for my RR from Roveractive. Like others have said a bit over priced but great service.

I got the kit but most of the hardware and the M5 mirrors are missing. I want to stick to OEM stuff for now but good call on future mods through DC... Next mod would be quad CF exhaust and I will definitely consider going to DC for an estimate.

I see that you are from the UK... I am in India so I need RHD M5 mirrors. Where did you get yours from???
