With Schmiedmann a lot of times they won't have the product stocked and they have to get it from Germany first before they ship to you. When you ordered, was there a little message that said "not in stock - expected in 7 working days" or something like that?

I ordered May 3rd, and JUST got my tracking number from Schmiedmann!
When asked, they said they didn't receive payment until the 8th (I obviously paid during check-out)?!

In any case, it's in the mail now and FedEx estimates the 25th.

That means, it is even worse for overseas delivery.

So Schmiedmann will only bring the lights in from Germany when you ordered online first?

Thanks.

Well, last time I checked they weren't stocking these lights. You can see when you enter the part number if they're in stock or not.

It's safe to assume they're buying as many as they can without any pre-order in place... the demand is just way to high for these! lol

Sent a friendly "threat email" to him stating that I am fed up of waiting for his "promises" of shipping out "this week" which has been this way for almost a month. Will be disputing the charge on my card as well as filing a claim against his company if no more information is provided by Friday. There was no prior information on the site or in prior emails that claimed that the lights were out of stock and should have been shipped long ago. Customer support up till I paid for the item was flawless. After the fact it was scarce if at all existent...

I believe you have 60-90 days to dispute a charge on your credit card? I used my Amex so I am confident that I will be able to recover my money if this does fall through.

I know that they were out of stock and they will be shipped 6 working days after ordering and I have no problem with that. All I pointed is some guys here got lucky and their order was proccess quickly and I'm sure the got the same message warning. Anyway checks in the mail right???

Same here he was all over on replying back once he got the cash it all stopped. I used paypal and have filed complant. Paypal has contacted him and he has until the 25 of may to respond. Its sucks that my cash is held up so now i have to wait even longer to get a set. Its just to fishy to me that there is no response so i said piss on it just get my money and run.

I've got a bone stock AW '11 135i. I'm thinking that the LCI Blacklines (after seeing all the pics posted here) might look too agressive. Looks like I'll be purchasing some regular LCI rears.

Thanks for all the pics gents.

Just ordered mine today, 3 sets from Schmiedmann.

Hopefully they arrive in Australia soon.

Strange, only got order confirmation but have not got any tracking number for the delivery and when it will be delivered. Payment has been cleared already.

I am a little worry here.

Just go to the dealership, buy them, put them on, if you dont like them, take them off and sell them to someone on here that is dying to get them.
