Any of you guys dealt with RMeuropean?

While looking for parts for my new 300TE i stumbled on these guys. Priced out about the same list of items with FCP Euro and these guys and the number was over $180 LESS with them . Things like Billstien B4 Struts for 87.50 each ect. looks almost to good to be true on the prices. that also listed a number of things I have had issues finding on any other site like the upper cooling trans line for the 3000TE. May order about $700 worth of parts from them over the next couple of days and wanted to get some feedback from you guys on them before i did.

PS these may be of some interest here for this $ from these guys!

I've used them before without issue. I generally find they are the same or cheaper than FCPEuro and Pelican, and cheaper than AutohausAZ. They lack the warranty FCP has. Shipping has never been an issue (usually quite quick). They generally don't have the same breadth of parts as the onther re sellers, so I use them for smaller spot buys or when the benefits add up and it's worth breaking up a bigger order.

I recently ordered a wiper gear, it shipped real quick!

I found a number of parts on the site for the 300TE that FCP did not have even after calling them. On the order I am about to make they were just under $200 less than FCP and that was with Billstene struts instead of Sachs. In many ways looked to good to be true so wanted some feedback before I used them.

I've been buying from RME for years. Overall the result has been positive and I would recommend them without hesitation. I like that they show the quantity available, which can be very helpful at times. They seem to have the identical offerings as AHAZ but typically at lower prices. I usually shop across FCP, RME, and AHAZ.

Unfortunately RME (and AHAZ) now charge for shipping, previously shipping had been free until a few years ago. And they do not offer lifetime warranty like FCP does. For items where you don't need lifetime warranty, no point in paying extra for it. RME offers a 2-year warranty on all parts they sell.

Oh, and those ZoomTubes from your original post are OOS... did they have a couple in stock when you posted last night?

AutohauZ, RM Yurropean and FCP Yurro are the "trifecta" of on-line parts vendors for which all price + brand + availability comparisons should be made. Very often one vendor will have the identical part for much less than the other two, which is why you have to shop around between the three.

Would not hesitate to use them and have used them many times. Generally fast shipping and I've never had a complaint with them on anything.

Since they are both the @gsxr and Honcho-approved, you should use them without any hesitancy.

Pelican Parts is usually the WORST and MOST expensive, and I have only ever ordered from them a couple of times, for a couple of specific items that the other sites did not sell. DO NOT USE Pelican Parts if you can get the same parts from other online vendors - particularly for much cheaper.

It almost feels like there is a strong inverse correlation between parts supplier strength and website polish. The less high-zoot ones are almost all better. RM has a very 1997 feel to it, but honestly, it works great.

15 for $30 a piece. Sold my Dodge pickup over the weekend and stupidly thought I was safe to wait until I got the proceeds in the bank and placed a big order today. NOPE!! Still got a pair of B4 Struts for the 300 at $87.50 each at RME.

Thanks for that Gerry. Have used both FCP and Autohauz in the past but had never heard of RME. Placed a pretty good parts order with them and another with FCP for both my 124's today. Will be interesting to see the time to arrival with both as the orders were placed back to back.
