Other than puppies and kitties, what’s better than a box of car parts?

Time to guess: What’s in this box from FCP Euro?

First person to guess correctly wins the satisfaction of guessing correctly.

FCP Euro and their insane warranty is the best thing to every happen to my BMWs. They have saved me thousands, and by earning my loyalty, I have spent thousands more.

Based on my experience with how FCP Euro packs things, it's probably a lug nut with a LOT of bubble wrap!   

If you have the chance to pick up your parts at their Milford, CT location do it for sure.  One wall of their customer pick up facility is a window looking into their race shop.  Some pretty serious fabrication going on in there.

Whoa....  the Merc takes 10 quarts.....  

Do they warrant oil filters?  There is no way they do that.

I get emails from them all the time. 

"Here's the latest deals for your Golf R"

I open it up and it's all Cayman parts in the email. I laugh every time.

Yep.

I buy the 9 liters of Liqui Moly and the filter from them and then spend about $20 using Pirate Ship to send the old back.  The only downside is that while they used to offer it as a refund on your credit card, now they only give you store credit.

It's fantastic. They offer parts for three of our cars, and I buy basically everything I can from them. I can do a 10 quart Redline 5W50 oil change for cheaper than conventional oil from Walmart.
