So I'm not on this forum anymore as I now have an N54 335i, but just tossing up a thread here in an attempt to warn others. Daniel Bogues is up and running again. He is listing a TON of parts all over Canada on Kijiji under a new company called "DBV2". The parts are basically for a handful of different Euro cars including BMW and Audi.
For those of you who don't know about him, he orders car parts off Aliexpress and then sells them as genuine parts. He is just selling basic bolt ons including DP's, charge pipes, and recently injectors. He claims he owns a fab shop and is currently designing an IC set up as well... but when you get the product, it is still in it's Chinese packaging.
Buyer beware. He's a con-artist.
**** A few people have asked for something to back this up so here you go:
This is the package he shipped me. This is it BEFORE he shipped it. Does it look new? Does it look like he packaged it himself? No. It doesn't. And you can say that my box was just an old one but Daniel has been posting a picture like this of every package he ships, and every box is beat to hell before it leaves his door step...
BUT the more telling thing is the CBSA markings that were on the box indicating that it was a Chinese product. I didn't bother to take pics of this but was on one of the ends.
In addition, you'll notice that Daniel just tapes his stuff (invoice and crappy stickers) to the outside of the box. He doesn't even open it! He just gets it shipped in, sticks his crap on top, and sends it on.
Here is a picture of what was in the box. It is EXACTLY the same DP set that is sold on Aliexpress. You'll notice the cheap knock of gasket (which no one should ever use), and that the welds are identical to the ones on Aliexpress (Where he has been accused to getting his garbage from in the past).
