    I purchased the blue ones. I believe it is their isolated red ones, but they changed the color. They also did a design change.

                    I have been trying to figure out what these are. Looks like a suspension part but I am not sure.

                        The UUC Bushings/Enforcer cups and AKG front subframe reinforcement kit have arrrived. The UUC Bushings are slightly falsely advertised. They are a very dark tranparent blue, almost black. The picture shows them as being a solid Cerulean color. They appear to be very stiff so I am thinking they are correct besides color.

                        I have decided to stay non ///M for front brakes at the moment. I can't seem to justify the extra $100 for rotors and the $150-$200 to source a set of spindles and calipers. If the brakes feel like they should be upgraded when the car is done, I will just do the swap then.

                        My door handles have been shipped and are on the way as well. I can't seem to get the seller to give me part numbers off of the handles themselves to make sure they're legit. He said he shipped them before reading my message and apologizes. I told him if they are fakes that I will be going through PayPal to get a part of the money refunded as stock handles engraved by someone are not worth what I paid. We will hope they are real=)

                          My handles arrived Friday. After a quick look at the part numbers I realized that I got engraved stock handles. A claim has been filed and I am hoping to get at least half my money back. Oh well. They at least look good=)

                            I wouldnt ever run fake door handles. Or fake BBS wheels for that matter.

                              The handles are real.... Just not original BMW Motorsports handles. :P

                              Sucks that they're not real - but as long as they look good and you can get some of your money back it's not a total waste. Makes you hope the guy just didn't know any better tho. :(

                                He knew better unfortunately. I found out after I won them that the guy has sold a few pair of counterfeit handles. He has sold genuine ones though, which kept me hopefull.

                                I really wanted them to be real so that I had genuine motorsport handles. That's the only reason I sprung for them=) I have an addiction for rare parts.
