Tut tut, its 3 days, 4 hours, 3 mins, and forty three and a half seconds.

Seriously though, depends on how far you drive, give it a day or two.

50-100 miles is about tops, can be quicker depends on driving/roads/car/spring rate/etc etc..

what can i do????

ordered some springs from bmtown in liverpool and they've ordered me the wrong set instead of coupe they've ordered me a set for touring!!! the garage fitted them on today and i look at the box an was wtf.

[Aaftab]

Did you not look at the box before the garage fitted them for you? I guess you will have to get the garage to take them off and sent them back to bm town for an exchange. I ordered some foglight covers for me car last year; on their website it said they fitted m3s and m sport bumpers. When i got them they were m3 ones! I was so vexed. I sent them back and got a refund then i got a pair of Teddy. Guaranteed fitment.

[lirowen]

no didnt look thought they would be right as i did say COUPE!! i'm so hacked off. could i not complain to bm town and get a bit of compo for me paying to get them fitted?????

[Aaftab]

Yes definately call them up on tuesday. Make sure on your invoice it says that ordered springs for a coupe. You may need to pay the garage again to remove the touring springs and then pay again to get the correct springs fitted as bm town wont send the correct springs untill the wrong ones have been shipped back to them! So worth a punt compensation esprcially towards the labour costs involved and postage! Word of advice before ordering anything for your car always try the forum sponsers first, will save you a lot of aggravation and hassle!

Ahh what a pain. Sorry to hear that mate. Def hound bmtown until they sort you out some change.

I had a similar problem with bm town and some headlights for my E36. They were being advertised as suitable for rhd cars which was complete tosh. Took some arguing but got a full refund about 6 months after purchase.

I had to pay postage to seconfd the wrong products back, they didnt offer to pay any postage costs even though they posted out the wrong item!:mad: Bud make sure you get something out of them for the labour costs coz you would have paid out 3 times!
