Connect the dots for us ... i.e., tell us how you came to this conclusion.

They probably use the same wholesaler or source their product from the same person.

Its become pretty obvious that you have something to gain from any sales that constructauto makes..which makes your opinion basically useless..

No, we are not europassion. We sell from many different manufacturers in different countries which include US, Taiwan, Indonesia, China etc. We do not pre-sell products that are not in stock untill they are in stock. Many can confirm that we are a top-notch vendor on this board.

As a matter of fact, Eisenhaus exhausts...yes...the cheap Korean made exhausts, are on the market again on bimmerpost I believe. I remember seeing them being sold by vendors in M3post..their Meistershaft GT exhausts or whatever they were. Correct me if i'm wrong though

Yup! It never seems to be an end for vendors though. If they end bad, just give it half a year or so and come back with a different brand. Most people probably won't even notice until the same thing happens again--up to the manufacturer, though, to make it right the next time.

as far i knew the construct auto is a legit seller and good customer services thou

i knew that customers is the " KING " but again sometimes they are pain in the ass as well.

whats wrong with asian products?dont u guys forget about 90% of the products in usa are made in ASIA?

NIke----> Vietnam,CHina,and INdonesia
Carbon fiber-----> China and taiwan
Bodykits-----> Indonesia,taiwan,hkg,and china
Clothing's----> china,cambodia,india,indonesia etc etc etc etc


sometimes ive noticed that some customers are way too complicated.for example,having a problem on installing the grill but they cant do or they are trying to install themself to reduce some cost..please dont do that.if the vendors recommend anythings to do it right,please follow it since they are the expert and they are not trying to rip the customers off.

again dont complain too much about the aftermarket kits. if you want no hazzle then go BUY authentic kits and which I have doubt as well about the fittment issues.
remember this is not OEM kits!!!

^Who's complaining about products being made in Asia? lol I'm not. Although I do know how some country's manufacturers are producing products at lower standards. But I don't judge a whole country based on one product's quality failure to satisfy.

I ran a search for "Meistershaft" and discovered CONSTRUCTAuto is also the vendor for Meistershaft Exhausts.

Now that's irony; thanks for the info, I had no clue!
"Irony" is the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention. Did you not intend that CONSTRUCTAuto was the vendor who sold the Eisenhaus approved, Korean-made, fake Eisenmann exhausts? Well if you did, then that would be a correct usage of the term "irony." But you couldn't have...seeing as how you didn't know CONSTRUCTAuto was the vendor behind Meistershaft

Not sure how this turned into the Eisenmann / Meistershcaft issue but we never sold their exhaust prior to them becoming their own brand. Looks like you guys are throwing everything and a kitchen ink at us these days guys.

There are several very reputable vendors distributing those Meisterschaft exhausts online (vividracing, redline motorworks). I guess we are the bad guys though

Eisenhaus was selling fake eisenmanns but since that time, they came back as Meistershaft and a new brand. They are no longer in teh business of pretending to sell a legitimate brand rebranded as another.

Regardless though, one has to wonder why their exhausts cost ~2Gs after those practices

Edited to Add:

There is no doubt CONSTRUCTauto sources parts from a known scammer. However, CONSTRUCTauto does keep its own inventory. The remaining issue is whether carrying items in stock absolves CONSTRUCTauto from its association with a known scammer.

It's a matter of ethics. I'm sure you all remember the Eisenhaus scam. If a vendor joins selling cheap Korean made exhausts, and later if e90post discovers they really originated from Eisenhaus...would that be ok? I dunno; I guess it would depend on the price. My morality is up for sale, is yours?



what i read is just one side of the story...as I remember back then,felix@europassion wrote on the forum that there is few of the members who charging back from their paypal and still keeping felix kits on their car.
so basicly USD$10.000 is someone is making a fool...


using amex or paypal is very easy to claim..just write them an email saying blah blah blah and they give back the money and keep the products....

customer is a King and we all agree with that but sometimes "there" is few are taking advantage.

so basicly,if you want no complaints then go get the authentic kits which I have doubt also about the fittment and lastly the pricing too..


no money dont buy it ..got money then buy it in the right way..dont complain too much when someone is trying installing the kits by them self ( not proffesional bodyshop ).
OEM and aftermarket is totally different things...



labour is expensive in USA and SUCK IT UP..u want cheap labour?move to Brazil,mexico,indonesia,malaysia,vietnam,China, or china ). they can make ur car like authentic looks...

Im not siding anyone here but sometime ive noticed there is few bunch of kids are trying taking advantage of any situation..
