Re: Bmp is bad!

Jason,

What was the point of this post?  If you felt the need to vent about what a 
lousy vendor BMP is, why are you planning to still buy from them?  Your 
"shitty vendor" arguement loses all credibility at that point!  You can buy 
strut bars and swaybars from other sources.

I receive a BMP catalog in the mail every few months (probably from BMWCCA 
selling their mailing list), but I've never purchased anything from them.  
As far as I can tell, BMP, BavAuto, and several other vendors sell the same 
stuff, with each one having a few unique pieces that they call their own.  
In many cases, you can go directly to the vendor of their "specialty" parts 
and buy them for less money.  The catalog is a nice "idea book" that I use 
when I contact my favorite vendors.

The bottom line:  If BMP sucks as a vendor, don't buy from them.  Ever 
again.  There are enough quality vendors out there.  Everyone has bad 
experiences with vendors.  I'm sure there are plenty of good stories from 
people who prefer to deal with BMP.

In any case, thanks for letting the list know about the poor quality of 
their E30 body kit.  The catalog makes it looks like a great package.
