Wow, what took them so long? Thought they would've had them out months ago?
That garbage will sell like hotcakes around here with all the cheapskates on this forum!

It says M4, but it says "Fit For BMW F32 F33 M4 Bumper 2014UP" Whatever that means.

wow, we sure do have some huge whiners on this forum. These whiners should be thanking the Chinese for bringing down the price of all the household items that they buy. It's not like they're making these parts and selling them illegally like fake handbags.
Not to say that the parts are all high quality, but it looks like this china manufactured part fits and looks fine. http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1050722 People should understand that the Chinese entering the market is usually a good thing. It will bring the price of those $110 painted side markers down eventually. Think about it -- do the sellers really deserve to make such high margins for buying the core OEM part and painting over it? These are commodities! |

You get what you pay for, if you pay a premium I am sure you'll get premium product quality with premium customer service to address any questions or concerns. Not sure what level of product quality or what sort of service you'd expect from AliExpress.... |

I love that these geniuses call well-made products like these: "chinese knock offs" but apparently RKP carbon diffusers, RW carbon M4 spoilers and Mode Carbon M3 spoilers are "tuner products"... Absolutely laughable Apparently, if you spend a ton on marketing, making pretty videos, taking lovely photos and posting well-written marketing prose on the forums, means you can put a 4000% mark up on your products and get praised for it, but selling the EXACT SAME PRODUCT for 20% mark up gets you labelled a "knock off"
