I was recently sent the wrong part on a drop ship for my SAAB. They sent me a Üro water fitting for a 9000 instead of my cargo tie downs for my 9-5. When I contacted the owner of the site, he said "Hell no I don't want you to pay for shipping back, and I do not want a Üro part sent back to me. I'd rather lose a bit of money than have that part in my warehouse." Lol. Good luck with the Üro part! The owner of the site chose to have me throw away the Üro part vs. getting it back. Lol

[@ElliottAlvis]

Lol oh man 😂 I had no idea Üro parts were that bad! You can tell how new ro BMW’s I am 😂

[@Staatus_Quo]

@@ElliottAlvis yeah, I'm new to the Euro scene too. I've quickly learned from the community that Professional Parts Sweden, and Üro, are not reputable. It makes me worry because in the back of my wagon, there is assorted Pro Parts & Üro parts under the false floor. So I wonder what the previous owner has under the hood waiting for me. Lol

$225 for the BlueBus? I mean it's slick and all, keeps the car all stock but wow. I was looking for something for my 335 since the bluetooth on that only seems to work for the phone calls, not music. But it does have an AUX port! So I one one of those little $10 USB bluetooth adapters, plugged the cable into my AUX, and it all sits nicely in the center hand rest. Works on any car with a USB and an AUX like a Malibu maybe..(Edit:Ok didn't see about the steering control and track name thing, now I want one...)
