So Racdyn-usa.com is the fake Racing Dynamics in the states. The Italian RD is now 'RDSport'. Sorry for reiterating it, but I just want to make sure I have it correctly.

Dynamics Racing (949) 325-4100 1 Phaedra,Laguna Niguel, CA 92677
^ That's from RDSport

Racing Dynamics, Inc.
4750 Eisenhower Avenue
Alexandria, Virginia 22304
^ That's from Racdyn-usa.com (the fake/replica supplier)

(877) RDSPORT = 877-737-7678
^ Which is from the eBay auction & RDSport's website.

dude im as confused as you are. But i guess that's how it is. I contacted both places when i needed my cap for my rim but it was the site in virginia that helped me out. The other one said i had to spend more in order to get help. So yea lets see what RDSport tells us.

© 1980-2006 Racing Dynamics S.p.A. - Milano, Italia (except U.S. and Canada)
© 2003-2006 RD Brands LLC - Laguna Niguel, CA (U.S. and Canada only)

Found on racingdynamics.com

The only other thing that kind of concerns me is the use of a personal eBay username to represent RDSport..

I was just about to mention it, you beat me too it having rdsport as a username seems a little suspicious too, especially since he didn't even bother capitalizing R, D and the S in sport, the really strange thing is, the ebay account has been active since October 2005 and has 100% positive feedback, seems like they've been working on this scam for a while, and another thing, most of the feedback comments use the term "ebayer" sounds like it's the same group of people with a lot of different usernames

/my investigation, the more I look the more I find stuff, I'm starting to get bored, lol

Sorry to take a while to get back guys but I had other stuff to take care of last night and am only just seeing all these new posts now that i've got to work.

I'm afraid to disappoint everyone but this is NO SCAM we are the REAL RDSport!

Ok, i'll try and cover a few of the points mentioned previously:

Username: rdsport instead of our usual RDSport, basically I didn't realize that you could use Capital Letters in the user name.

Ebay User Name: As my Boss hasn't really dealt with ebay before I offered to use my already established Ebay account Piston-pirates to sell the Items.

This is the Genuine RDSport Website: http://www.racdyn.com/

If you go to the contact page in the worldwide automobiles section you will see we have contact numbers UK and Milano something that the replicas website will not have.

In Europe and Japan we sell the NEW PRODUCTS as Racing Dynamics whilst here in the US we provide the RDSport Brand.

The reason I haven't got back with prices yet is because Federico Pavoncelli my Boss and the owner of Racing Dynamics is currently in Italy and I am waiting for him to reply to some emails.

Any questions or if you want to discuss ordering products please call:

877 RDSPORT

Hope this cleared up some of your questions you guys had.........

One more thing.....any products purchased from us can me collected from our headquaters in Orange County so you can see your getting the real deal for yourself!

Ok here are some prices for the 318ti Parts:

Side Skirts - $200

Rear Diffusers - $200

Front Splitters - $200

Complete price to buy the K30.4 Body Kit - all the 3 above - $500

Please Note These Are Genuine Racing Dynamics Parts NOT fibreglass replicas.

The Racing Dynamics Aerodynamic Kit is a complete package that is designed to enhance the appearance and the performance of your 3 Series. The Racing Dynamics Aerodynamic System has passed the German TÜV Certification that guarantees its aerodynamic efficiency and overall superior performance.

The kit is produced using Polyurethane, which is a soft impact resistant material used by BMW themselves. This material will not crack like the cheap imitations available of the world famous Racing Dynamics Brand.

Shocks and Springs - $800

Just Springs - $200

I'm afraid that we don't have any Rear lip spoilers and No Wing Mirrors in stock............Sorry.

So why was your logo a horrible cut out? It looks like someone using MSPaint to edit your logo. Also Are you affiliated with Racing Dynamics in Italy? Do you know of any BMW guys that can vouch for you (established members on this or other forums?
Sorry to sound suspicious, but I trust no one father than I can throw 'em til I get to know 'em.

That logo is really old as well as the photographs of the suspension........I can take more upto date pictures if genuine buyers require. Plus as stated anyone is welcome to come to the RDSport Headquaters to collect goods themselves.

We are new to the forum and don't really know anyone on here.

If anyone knows us.....The Genuine RDSports.....call the Headquaters and you can verify with myself or Federico Pavoncelli that it is us posting and also us listing the Apron on Ebay.

Thanks

I believe that logo is off the fake Racing Dynamics located in VA.

I don't really want to get involved here, especially since I'm not interested in purchasing anything, but I remember a while back when KOperformance was a vendor here someone asked them to take a picture of their storefront. Not to disrespect or throw out any false accusations, but if you could do something similar it might put an end to this little fiasco. I mean heck I could say that I own Rieger and just cut and paste their logo as my avatar, but that wouldn't prove squat.
