Update on OE CSL Wheels GB from M3F???

[dilmorecg]

Looks like Im probably not running these wheels until next summer. Vert, summer only driven, extended delay... Guess I get to spend the tire money on something else for now.

Imagine if you had special ordered a car.

Yeah I know. It will take months for this situation to get back on track.

I am having the same issue with my OE CSL trunk so everything TMS is saying is true. I ordered my trunk from BMW in Feb and there is still no news.

Bon bon bon, i emailed Sean at Turner and 3 minutes after he called me to talk. Here were my questions to him and his answers ;

• Did Turner Motorsport receive a large order of CSL/ZCP rims from Leighton Jacobus? THE ANSWER IS YES.
• If so what is the status of the order? BMW STILL HAVEN'T SHIPPED ANYTHING YET FROM EUROPE TO USA, TURNER IS STILL WAITING FOR A BMW UPDATE. SEAN WILL GIVE LEIGHTON AN UPDATE AS SOON AS HE HEARS SOMETHING.
• Do Turner Motorsports know an approximate ETA of that order arriving to the USA and after they come to USA an approximate ETA for the customers? NO BUT IF ALL GOES WELL AND LETS SAY THAT BMW SHIPS THE ORDER THROUGH BOAT NEXT WEEK, IT WOULD TAKE MINIMUM 30 DAYS TRANSIT + SHIPPING FROM TURNER TO CUSTOMER, THAT BEING SAID, BEST CASE SCENARIO IS IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO HAVE YOUR WHEELS AND WORSE CASE SCENARIO IT WILL TAKE EVEN LONGER TO GET YOUR WHEELS.
• Does Turner motorsport currently have CSL/ZCP rims in stock? THE ANSWER IS NO,.

Apparently Sean talked to Leighton yesterday so maybe Leighton was going to send an update soon/shortly/maybe.

Sean looks like a pretty chill guy, happy to have dealt with him and get some more info.

“I wish it was that easy. Unfortunately no one can source Euro Spec parts
through the US dealer unless you have proof the car is stateside, so we have
to order these direct from Europe. I will reach out to them, but I don’t
know that I'll hear back immediately.

I understand everyone is anxious to get these, I am a car guy just like
everyone and totally understand that delays suck. I appreciate the patience
and will see what sort of updates I can get.

Always pay the fees. It can bite you in the ass in the end. Not knocking on Leighton, but everyone is as legit as their last transaction. Anything can change. I payed the extra for peace of mind as I can always file a claim if things go south.

Isnt there a time limit to file a claim on PayPal?

I messaged Leighton yesterday and heard back. I'm not going to speak about his personal matters, other than saying is his family dealing with a serious health issue at the moment I was told and that's why he's been unresponsive . He said he needs to send an email with an update and that the guy from turner will also be back in Monday to give a status.

that's unfortunate, echoing ^, would still be good to get a quick two liner to update the 30+ folks via email. I'm guessing not everyone is on this forum, so either a quick mail or even perhaps designating someone else to help manage could go far in letting him focus on family. Regardless, hope everything turns out well with him and the family

Fair enough, sad to hear that but at the same time, if i'd be running a 50k + money group buy and something would prevent me from being involved the first thing i would send everyone involved in my transaction would be "Yo poeple, i'm dealing with xyz so in the meantime can you chill the fuck out and be patient since i will be unable to provide communication, thank you very much for your patience poeple". That would have saved a lot poeple worrying about the status of the situation. But that is just my personal opinion.

I am very surprised by the feedback from members that Leighton is unresponsive. I did send him a message on FB and he never responded either. I hope he’s ok.

[Raym3]

I get everything that’s going on in the world. But leighton needs to do a better job communicating. Is he even on here?

Hi NAM3FORUM.COM, anyone got an update from Leighton? I sent multiple emails last week and this week and zero reply. Don't want to bash but unless there is something therribly wrong with him communication is expected, this is a business transaction and i want my shit or at least an update on where my shit is at, i have a track day coming. Thanks.

The guy never managed to reply to my confirmation to order a full supersprint system either earlier this spring.
Luckily no payment was sent but I feel for anybody out money/waiting on good and expecting timely correspondence..
