Buy it from a trustworthy vendor who has been around for years on the forum -- it's that simple.

Why dont you buy the part from the same guy who sold you the tinfoil hat

You have no clue if this guy is legit or not, and you make a thread trying to make him look like the asshole. Nice...

Your argument for why he is not legit is extremely flaky at best.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

He may or may not be a scammer, but I would play it just as safe as bmwgroup. You just don't give someone cash in return of a PROMISE to deliver a product, which may or may not be stolen in this case. I mean, the guy is not even a dealer and why would anybody go out of their way to save money for some stranger? This thread is up and wileoutz has not even tried to defend himself. I find it strange.

Because he was reported to the mods. Can't sell parts on this forum unless you're a private party or vendor. The PMs that wileoutz was sending clearly showed he was trying to resell parts.

pretty much anytime you buy a part from an ebay store, you are buying a product from someone who does not stock it and orders it once you "buy it now"
