Email sent to Modbargains at 0741....
"To Whom It May Concern, I am a member on ZHPMafia.com and Bimmerforums.com. I am a BMW enthusiast and stand behind Modbargains. In June of last year, in an attempt to "upgrade" my suspension, I performed research and review on coilover setups and settled on the KW V1's based on recommendations (Very positive) from other members and chose Modbargains, for the same reason. I have purchased many items from Modbargains. I am a loyal customer and frequently mention/recommend Modbargains to other members.
With the above said, I have an issue with my front left KW V1 coilover. It has zero bound/rebound. The coilover is damaged/blown and I am riding on the coil only....as a ride height point and dampener. This is after only 7 months, and no more than 21,000 miles (That's 3000 miles/month of interstate driving).
For my situation, I would like to know what my options are for pursuing a warranty claim. The details (Order number / Customer number / Date are posted at the below link. I snapped a picture of the receipt and started a new thread to detail my experience with the customer service offered/rendered by Modbargains and/or KW.
Thanks for any help or other information concerning my situation. Please feel free to contact me at my cell phone number, should you need further information.
Ideally, I would like to have the coilover (QTY 1) replaced."
