Hi Everyone,
I appreciate your positive and these not so positive words about myself
Actually BimmerTech is not just me but also my associate MEN, but anyway we really try to stay away from situations when somebody wants us to work on parts bought elsewhere.
The reason is simple. The parts that everyone buys to retrofit the CIC are used.
When we sell the whole kit we test everything before shipping and we are responsible for the whole process of retrofitting the CIC in the car until everything works as expected. If there is any problem when parts arrive to the customer or if during the initial coding something does not work we simply replace parts which are broken.
Imagine a situation when somebody wants us to work on his car and the parts were bought elsewhere. We do the coding and the CIC starts restarting over and over again. It turns out the CIC is defective, but how to explain the owner that this is not the coding problem and that it's not our fault. Then how the owner can explain this to somebody he bought the parts from?
This is a real life situation we had with our own parts, but this is something we do not want to happen when parts do not come from us.
On the other hand you can find examples of people who were in a pretty bad situation and we helped them:

I do not expect that everyone will like me or BimmerTech, but at least try to understand us a bit.
The conclusion is that we can help people who want to buy parts on ebay or anywhere else as long as they take full responsibility for this retrofit.
If you want to have a hassle free experience get the full kit from us and we will make sure you will be very satisfied!
