2008 BMW 328i - NOT SUITABLE!

One star has nothing to do with the product itself as I couldn't test it. Why? Because it will NOT fit my 2008 BMW 328i. Although Revain confirmed it would fit my year and model, I installed the mechanics and then had to remove them because it was a bit of an office job. It turns out that the difference is very minimal and you can't really see it with the naked eye, but after installation and a test drive, the car hardly left the garage because it rumbled. It said free shipping, but since I'm on a military base overseas, they didn't offer free shipping and I had to pay about $17.95 for shipping. I also had to pay a local mechanic to install it and then have it removed because it didn't fit. It was a waste of my money and I am very angry with this company for selling a product without having an accurate description of what it would be good for. Oh, and after all the chaos, I kept reading the reviewers' comments and of course the same complaints that it didn't fit all 2008 328i's. Probably the most helpful was JE's comment that "328i 2007 to August 2007" is fine but will be a different model after that. I checked and my car was made on 10/2007 which explains why it didn't fit.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Not bad
