Bimmerworld Legit?

[Ethanh100]

I recently bought some parts from bimmerworld totaling $1400, and I got an email from their support saying for first time orders of this amount they require me to send a copy of my ID and credit card with the info blakced out except for the last 4, or if I dont want to do that I can pay through wire transfer or paypal.

I told them I dont see how that info is necessary and I would be willing to pay through paypal but my card has already been charged according to my account, So I dont want to pay through paypal having already paid for the items. They responded and said that the transaction was voided and should go away within a few days.

This all sounds a bit sketchy to me, but they seem like big retailer with lots of busienss which was confusing to me. Should I trust that the charge will be remove, is this a legit company? Or should I give them my ID, I just dont see why they would need that. Thank you

I've purchased many things from Bimmerworld, they make great products. I have no reason to distrust them, and I assume that's the general consensus across this forum.

Okay just making sure, I had no reason to distrust them until that just because it seems unnecessary and confusing to me however i will go through with it.

I just have a problem with those kind of "requirements'' asking for personal info and credit card #s, especially online purchases. I use a separate moneycard for online purchases and only load as much money as the purchase requires. It gives me peace of mind, being a skeptical old fart. 😊

Fully understand the skepticism. First I've ever heard of this from them. They are a great supplier and have a long history. They may have a recent rash of fraud. Who knows.

Odd request from them, but they are a great company to work with!
