Are there any other vendors who sell an M5 front bumper? How much is an OEM BMW M5 bumper?
I'd rather pay more and skip the risk and fitment issues. Also, any bumper that is not ABS will crack under the smalest of impacts.
The cost to prep a bumper like this about five hours. So if you consider the expenses, risk, delay, and issues with pickup at the port I'd rather pay more.
In the last picture it looks like the whole for the tow hook is too low.

I PM'ed him for his contact info and he did not reply. I told him if he gave me a bumper to test fit and see if it will fit on my car, he DID NOT reply.
I will sell your product for you if you will let me have a bumper and see how it is before you/I sell it to the e60 community. PM me back if you will consider.

1. We've had a successful GB for a front splitter from Thailand to LA, but it was through a reputable E60.net member. You on the other hand recently joined on November 12, 2008 , and all your posts are within this thread. Not much credibility on my book. You also insist on a $200 non-refundable deposit. You're not making it easy for folks to jump on this GB. With the recent scams that have hit numerous members, I'm sure you'll understand the hesitance of folks to get on this deal. 
2. Bill of lading does not mean much. What counts is the actual product or goods. Good luck, but as for me -- no thanks, I'll pass.

well this is international business way.
most importer will know what are going to do.
either 50% deposit and once the seller give a notice by showing the original bill of lading then the remaining balance must be pay in full amount.

+1.. credibility is huge here...some of these guys seriously trust no-one now..not your fault, but as frank said.. you want alot without showing any credibility on THIS forum..
totally agree with you on that matter.
but again,ive noticed that on few other forums,there is alot of scammers as well.not just the seller thou..can you imagine that.
well,basicly if you can trust me then ill trust you guys as well.simple as that.
if you guys want to pay via paypal veirfy.lets do it.I do have the paypal acct as well.
thnx

Totally agree
I think you may have trouble shifting these, without relaxing your rules a bit, and fixing the prices..

When reading through another thread about a scammer I found this page on craigslist.
DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON - follow this one simple rule and you will avoid 99% of the scam attempts ... .
NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
...
NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.
(...)
6. distant seller asks for a partial payment upfront, after which he will ship goods
he says he trusts you with the partial payment
he may say he has already shipped the goods
deal often sounds too good to be true
I am sorry to say this, but this has SCAM written all over it.
