Bought some stuff off them before. They are true to their word as far as my order went.

I have bought stuff off of them too - it was all stamped BMW with the correct serial numbers, so proper proper O/E.

Much cheaper than the Stealers.

Do you get O/E from Eurocarparts/GSF, or is it just cheap pattern?

I've started using them for all my parts now, they can get pretty much any OE part. Very good service.

For example if it will take them a bit longer to get a part they will let you unlike some other suppliers :)
