"Even I could the shaped ends, I can make up the rest."

What does this mean?

You may get an email the next day after ordering saying it’s nla or that it has to come from DE, generally not in the actual online order phase.

To be clear- There are none in the US system and none in German system.

getBMWparts.com have responded as follows:
'These are currently back-ordered with no ETA at this time. We'd recommend checking back in 4 - 6 weeks and we'll be happy to check again',
Hopefully.
Thank you all for the help. Seán.

I have purchased it, thank you, Dlc.

Really?! You actually got a response and placed an order? I've sent Stefan probably 15 emails and FB messages with zero response after confirming they had the parts I needed...WTH!

When I say I have purchased it, I have placed an order on the website and paid using PayPal. I have purchased from this company before without any issues, hopefully it will be the same on this occassion, If it does not work out, I can claim a refund via PayPal. I will let post the outcome. As these seals / rubbers are dificult to source, I am prepared to take a chance. Here is the response I have recieved, there is more but not worth including.

'Hello Mr Doyle,

I don’t think it’s personal, he doesn’t reply to me either..

Maybe it is just me but my experience is that Germans don't respond very often when you don't send messages in German. I am a Belgian and luckily I speak/write German.
Just use Google translate and communicate in German.

Thanks, I called him this morning and all is good.

I'm sorry but because you have a captured audience, does not mean you can treat people that way. I never view my time as any more important than someone else's because it's importance is all relative. If you run a business, then run a business.
