[s-cars] Zygmunt motors/bimmerparts.com: AVOID

[Bjorn Odegard]

I really must throw in my .01? here, as I think Zygmunt does a good job.
I ordered a couple of items, like a Bentley, some gaskets and ign.plugs
and extenders, and got the package after about a week (normal mail
service.) They sent confirmation mails for both the quote, order
confirmation and money transaction (Visa), and I guess they're as good
as anybody around. Maybe Brett got a summer temp to do (or not do?) the
job or something? At least I got my stuff, and I'm going to order the
bits for the overdue timing belt change from them as well this weekend..
As I'm located in Norway, I know it sounds weird that I order german
autoparts from the US, but actually I save about 40% on the retail prize
by doing it! I've also checked with some German distributors, but even
they can't compete. Strange, huh?

Regards,
Bjorn  :o)
