I'm in Toronto and I'm looking for some Alpine White painted reflectors.
Thanks.

I am in the market for the same but have heard bad things about Bimmian

No experience with Bimmian myself, but I know a lot of members have had good experiences with various vendors from the forum. I have dealt with renn spec and would highly recommend them. I bought my reflectors (smoked) from J. Levi and they were great as well.

+1 go with rennspec they are easier to deal with.

!Xoible · 04-16-2009, 07:10 PM

absolutely not. worst place.

its of poor "made in china" quality. one spring even broke off and I had to use the ones that came off the original reflectors. I'd get the Evo Sports if to do it again, but its more expensive

I've bought a coouple of items (LED tail lights for my E46 and painted reflectors for the E46 and E90) from Bimmian in the past year or so and found that the quality of their product is hit or miss.

The biggest problem I've had with them is the extremely long delivery time for every order I've placed. Their site always shows the product as in stock and available until the order is placed, and as soon as the order is processed, I get an email stating the product is backordered but will be available shortly. Each time that has happened, it's been close to or over 2 months to actually get the product.

Would I use them again? Probably not at this time considering the quality of the rest of the vendors on this forum.

YMMV.

Nick at Jlevis is extremely cool to deal with. I've never had an issue dealing with him and his customer service is amazing. I've dealt with Simon at Renn Spec and he's cool too.

Don't you dare buy anything from Bimmiam. Doing so will make you the biggest clown on this forum. Products are complete junk.

Thanks for the advice guys, I actually ended up going with Renn-Spec and it turned out to be a better deal for me.

So they're en-route...
