Grant 4 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 Hi There I doubt anyone here will be able to be of any help, but here goes. I have finally found a Bilstein and H&R stockist in the USA that have no problems wityh accepting a credit card from New Zealand, and make a big deal about me ordering stuff from here and delivering it to an address in California. Has anybody read/heard anything about Turner Motorsports? I realise that they are a large well established seller of BMW parts, but want to make sure that I will get what I order, when I want it to be delivered (i.e. when I am over there on holiday in three weeks).

Grant 4 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 Why are you getting them delivered to CA?? You can get bilstiens from BNT relatively cheap!! I will be in CA in 3 weeks time on holiday.I am getting Bilstein Sport Suspension, and H&R Sports springs for $950 NZ. I have approached BNT (and others in NZ), and the best deal I could get for the same was $1,600. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pussytamer 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 I have only heard good things about Turners, and it's a secured site for credit cards. You may want to check out www.kormanfastbmw.com and check their pricing out as well. It's a good oppertunity to look at performance chips out as they have a wide choice on offer.

Grant 4 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 I am changing my ECU from the Motronic one that I have to a Link one early next year, so a chip would not be much use (I need an aftermarket programmable ECU for my car to run properly with its hybrid engine). Korman's seem pretty good too, they advertise pretty heavily in Roundel. Yeah, I can only find very positive things said about Turner Motorsports.

Guest Spargo Report post Posted August 5, 2004 korman are a ripoff. I hear good things about turner, might wanna wheck r3v (sorry sorry) for some more dirt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted August 5, 2004 yeah guys on r3v seem to heap praise on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dnz 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2004 They also sponsor cars and stuff, so theyre rather good.. Id get a chip etc in the future, but im thinking my insurance would then call my car modded, so i might just stay stock.. (which im very happy with anyway!) My only mod shall we debaffling my intake. Best minutes ive ever spent to get a better intake and exhaust sound... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted August 11, 2004 Shocks and springs are now ordered. Turner Motorsports have been excellent to deal with to date, the same of which can't be said of Shox.com, and expecially Bav Auto (who didn't even bother reply to my numerous requests of prices etc).

Gus 5 Report post Posted August 11, 2004 Ireland Engineering didnt respond to sh*t about my queries either....and only regarding ignition leads! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted August 11, 2004 Yeah, I can't see why they don't respond. Surely they must realise that they are losing a lot of potential customers. It is a bot stupid really, oh well their loss. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Homy.D.Clown 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2004 I got some stuff from BAV a while ago..probably avoid them in future they didnt have half the order in stock..but still charged me (took near a month for it to restock..man i was getting pissed..and they didnt reply to many of my e-mails) was stressing out a bit that i'd just been shafted..but finally came through had recent dealing with M3 Motorwerks.. good guys and good e-mail contact the only glitch was my product got damaged so they're sending me a replacement after i sent them a pic of the damage. M3 Motorwerks and just ordered some stuff form me and BMWarehouse from Um Nitza Um Nitza will keep ya posted on how it all goes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2004 (edited) My only mod shall we debaffling my intake. Best minutes ive ever spent to get a better intake and exhaust sound...I hate it when I dont hear back from a business regarding customer enquiries, I got a couple of those when looking for the bodykit Im buying. As has been said - its their loss, but at the same time its frustraiting when they have the exact part you are looking for and they dont bother... You cant tell me that 3 emails dont get thru when sent at different times...I know this is a bit off the original topic, but Dennis, how did you debaffle your intake? I am rather interested...

Grant 4 Report post Posted August 13, 2004 Yeah, it is bloody stupid. My suspension was shipped from Turner Motorsports in Amesbury Massachusetts three days ago, has been through Illinois, and its next stop is Fresno California (and only two hours away from its final destination). It will arrive at where I will be staying on Wednesday. Amazing how well these thrack and trace courier placs work. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To debaffle the E36 intake you take out the first baffle in the airbox.. Better sound and less restrictive - (the first one is there to quieten it, whereas the one after the filter would be there to smooth the airflow for better combustion)You can also remove the snorkel leading up to the airbox but that would most likely suck in engine bay air and therefore decrease performance..
