Their pricing on their website has been very competitive. I am local so I don't have to deal with shipping . 30 min or so drive .

People should check them out.

I ordered my 763m glossy black from them a couple weeks ago. I called with a question at the time and realized they were a dealership and it made me feel very secure. So far the experience has been good. In my case pricing with shipping was better than getbmwparts.

So far I have purchased oil / filter . Bmw brand Wheel cleaner. Rubber trunk mat for my e90.

Stainless steel pedals for my m2 cs.

All original Bmw gear and pricing is great.

Wheels I will see what I do when I need a winter set . I want 763s but my end up with Apex to keep cost reasonable . I also am interested in a silver wheel.

Maybe 437s ?

I agree that at 25.5% off BMW parts worldwide currently has the best offer for these wheels. Mind you they are still more expensive than Brian at Sun motors used to be. Sadly nobody in the biz is filling Brian's shoes and offers the kind of discounts he used to have.

Still love these wheels but so does everybody else. Decided to go a different route and ordered some Edelweiss wheels instead.

Part of the reason I went with 763s instead of Apex is...to your point...everyone likes them. So if for some reason I need to unload them, I should recoup a good chunk of my cost.

But the main reason is I just freaking love how they look on BSM M2s.

I was seriously considering Edelweiss wheels. I was surprised when I read they weren't forged and getting the 763s at a similar price made it an easy choice for me (aside from the wait...which at only a few weeks was much less than some)

Yeah totally get that. Price wise im paying more for the Edelweiss compared to a set of 763, but it gives me a bit of exclusivity on this side of the pond and I do really like the look and weight.

No doubt, they are definitely nice wheels

bumping this thread.... Anybody get any updates from Steffen this week? My last message from him was Friday the 7th...

mf4n · 05-15-2021, 10:37 AM

He has been promising me for an update but still waiting on it..

I placed my order 1st week of March. However I'm actually waiting to see if any of the guys that ordered in Feb actually has some info or even better a shipping estimate from Steff

It's become really worrying looking at all of us in the same boat.

I have 2 sets on orders. For myself and a friend.

I think he's had these orders for quite a while, but I'm hearing there is a shortage, so that might complicate things a bit.

I'm a couple weeks ahead of you, placed my order in mid February. AUSf22 has had his order in since the first week of Feb... This wait is getting really old.

Ollie RS · 05-15-2021, 03:38 PM

I got a reply this week, there's apparently a shortage from BMW... We are all in the same boat, I guess our only option is to wait patiently

I'd ask Evan@Tischer at getbmwparts.com how many he has on hand to sell before you consider your only option is waiting. Again, I had my set in 4 days, but when I had an issue with a couple of them, it took a few more days to get them in. Still, I would have been fully set within 2 weeks total. Dealers can probably source from dealers (not 100% sure how it works at BMW, but it worked that way when I worked for Honda/Toyota/Hyundai/Suzuki).

Unfortunately getbmwparts don't ship international and all the buyers that got on this deal are in Europe/Asia or Oceanic regions

Ah, I knew that, sorry, brain fart.

Has anyone asked Steffan about a refund? I last heard from him on 29april. It’s been 7 weeks since I ordered now. Shoulda gone with titan7s...

I did and he ignored me, it's been 15 weeks for me. I think your order realistically will be fulfilled around December if he's getting 2 sets every 1 and a half months.

That's of course, considering the next order arriving is mine (who knows). If I was in your shoe, I would request a refund asap as it's pointless waiting that long.

Has anyone got a successful dispute refund through paypal?

I didn't have to file a dispute. Mind you I haven't received my money but I politely asked Steffen to cancel my order and he said he would cancel it with BMW, and they will refund his money. He said I will have my money back in 2-3 weeks.

Wow. If you can take someone's money within 1 minute you should be able to return it in one minute.

I've never known any dealer to require full payment for parts up front. Something is strange with that story.
