M3 Owner Orders an OEM Clutch From Amazon, Gets an F1 Assembly Instead

First you've quoted me and argued as if I agree with what he did. I don't agree, I think he's an idiot but that's me.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying.
As you previously said "some random guy with seemingly little mechanical know how" and not known if right or wrong part, what would he have accomplished or info would he have got by taken it apart?

Second unless there was some kind of legal portion he signed off on that said if he were to get the wrong part and such that any damages he caused because of it would be additionally charged...then no he doesn't need to pay for anything else. Where you got this notion...is strange. See the distributor/manufacture is at fault for getting it mixed up, not the new owner, so even if he did return it and it was damaged that blame can't be placed on him. It could easily have been due to transit.

He posted pics of it apart online and if there is damage to it and they could prove the damage was caused by taking it apart they could charge him for the damage. If it was the right part and taken it apart damaged it he sends it back cause it broken they could prove with the pics what was the cause problem. As on electronics with the void sticker if the sticker is broken they won't cover you if there's any problems with the product.
I know its the seller/ manufacturers fault for sending the wrong part but its not there fault for him taken it apart not knowing what it was.

You seem a bit irritated by this entire debacle though, just my personal notion on it. Not sure why that would be. Once again it's his part they mixed up the part number for it hence why it ended up where it did, thus he paid for it. The manufacturing error is on them as it always is when manufactures distribute parts and get it wrong.

No I'm not irritated by it. I don't care what he does with it, he can put it where the sun don't shine.

lol yeah ok buddy...

ok

I don't know I'm not said guy. I myself have had the wrong parts given to me and other than looking like the part in a general sense I knew I needed, I wasn't any the wiser it was wrong until I tried to fit it in said car. I've had this happen with gaskets, alternators, air filters and so on. In all these cases I took the part back and got the correct part. The error was never on me but the manufacture I ordered the part from. Either they got the model wrong or the generation of vehicle wrong.

So with that said I can understand not knowing what the part looks like and still unboxing it and fiddling with it, because you've expected the manufacture to do their part and get you the right item.

He posted pics of it apart online and if there is damage to it and they could prove the damage was caused by taking it apart they could charge him for the damage. If it was the right part and taken it apart damaged it he sends it back cause it broken they could prove with the pics what was the cause problem.

No they can not. It is a manufacturing error, the onus was on them to actually have a functioning system, where multi thousand dollar parts get to those who order them. This is a massive Quality Control issue, because a part that seemingly had no business being offered to the general public somehow made it into the general public. There is an entire segment in manufacturing about Quality control and Assurance and dealing with making sure this type of thing doesn't happen. Because if it does the loss is on the company not the person you made the error with. Parts aren't electronics though, they don't have a void sticker, and while it's not the manufactures fault he took it back they can't stop him. They can't get said part back if he doesn't want to send it back and thus they have to eat said loss.

No I'm not irritated by it. I don't care what he does with it, he can put it where the sun don't shine.

And ya see you say you're not then end with that, and you just make it seem all the more that you dislike the guys actions and by result are irritated.
