bump for update.

RiXst3r · 11-21-2009, 02:25 AM

Hey guys, I am doing everything in my power to get a few units out next week... I basically have a situation where one of my suppliers is breaking promises left and right, I have the gauges and everything except the one little mounting bracket... its the bracket that holds the board inside the vent at the correct angle... I was told they were going to try and get me some by Monday, but I am so sick of them breaking promises because its happening over and over and it makes ME look bad and lose orders! I have never had to deal with issues like these before... and its not just one supplier, its multiple... all breaking promises and timelines... its a rough market out there... on one hand, companies are BEGGING for business, and on the other hand, places have LAID OFF half their staff and can't get anything done on time!

everything is finally coming together, but it hasn't been easy!

Sorry guys, I am doing everything I can, I am up at 3:00am right now trying to see if I can find a way to make he brackets myself by hand.

Here are some photos, as you can see, we are 99% ready to ship...

I really appreciate everyone's patience! We are in the final hour!

Yep, as soon as terry gets the 1.4 file with the switcher port active... he said it should be done soon.

c'mon please!
I did not buy any other gauge during summer and autumn since waiting for your unit...

RiXst3r · 11-21-2009, 09:36 PM

I still have over 50 units that are not spoken for in the first batch... ended up being a larger batch then I wanted, since some of my parts suppliers upped their minimums.

Personally I do not mind waiting for all of the correct parts that were designed to work together. I would prefer for everything to work and fit together (and hold together) than to get something cobbled together.

Good luck with your suppliers. Sometimes sh!t happens and these things cannot be helped.

Well, i remember you saying these should be out by the end of the year. So lets hope it ends up that way. GL on your suppliers. I look forward to installing mine soon.

RiXst3r · 11-26-2009, 08:18 AM

Just got some units in last night!!! Installing one in my 135i today! Photos coming soon!

You heard right... they are done, and here, and I am assembling and boxing the kits getting ready to ship!

Boxes!? We don't need no stinkin' boxes!

VERY anxious to see some pics. And even more anxious to know mine has been sent out! Thanks for all of the hard work you've put in to making these available to our cars, Rick!

I am starting shipping units out as quick as I can get them assembled and boxed... i will be shipping a few on friday/monday... just a couple days to get stuff together. I can only assemble package and ship about 5 per day or 25 per week, and thanksgiving events are slowing me down these next couple days....

Dave · 11-26-2009, 04:02 PM

Thanks

Are you going to be shipping them out in the order that the orders were received? I think I'm pretty high up on the list

Yes, in order of when payments were received.

romak47 · 11-27-2009, 11:56 AM

I believe this is your answer from a few posts above.

RiXst3r · 11-27-2009, 04:58 PM

Uploading a teaser video! In-car video coming soon as well... as soon as I can get some daylight

Here it is...

The video doesn't do it justice... this thing in the car looks COMPLETELY OEM... It even fooled my SA at the bmw dealer... he was like "wow, is that a new bmw performance option?"

In car video's coming tomorrow!
