Insignist Motorsports - FAQ

Do you drop ship?

Absolutely not. None of our products are drop shipped.

Every part is produced to our specification at our dedicated manufacturing partner's facility, then shipped to our Chicago-area warehouse, where it goes through a full inspection and quality control process before it's delivered to you. Nothing is forwarded straight from a supplier.

We also carry select designs developed to our spec and exclusive to Insignist Motorsports, so you're not just getting generic parts passed from one seller to the next.

Is your carbon fiber real or hydro-dipped?

All of our products are made from genuine carbon fiber, not hydro-dipped or vinyl wrapped.

We source high-quality materials for each piece, and every product is constructed using industry-standard methods including dry carbon for specific high-performance applications. No corners are cut. No filler materials.

What's the difference between dry carbon and regular carbon fiber? Why is dry carbon more expensive?

Dry carbon fiber is lighter, stronger, and significantly more expensive to produce than wet (gloss) carbon.

While wet carbon is layered with resin and cured with a gel coat for aesthetics, dry carbon is cured under vacuum pressure in an autoclave — the same process used for Formula 1, aerospace, and race-spec builds.

This makes it the premium choice for anyone who prioritizes performance, weight savings, and structural integrity.

Is everything on your site in stock?

All of our products are always available to order, a lot are in stock and others are crafted to order, entering production shortly after your purchase. This is because as a growing business, we're constantly balancing warehouse space and customer demand, so some orders may take a little longer to fulfill.

That said, we also maintain an In-Stock & Ready-to-Ship section, clearly displayed on our homepage and in the top navigation menu. You can filter by your BMW model and instantly view parts that are ready to ship from Chicago. We're also growing this inventory everyday as well as storage capacity.

We're very transparent with our customers, and you can always check your order status by emailing support@insignist.com or filling out the contact form on the Contact Us page. We typically respond within 24-48 hours.

Is shipping quick?

Yes! We want you to have your item as soon as possible. Therefore, we have made it easy for you to browse for items you may get quicker especially if it's in our Chicago warehouse.

On the top section of website, there is a marked “In Stock – Ready to Ship,” option under which ever item that is listed usually ships out within 1-3 business days.

If it's crafted to order, it enters our tracked production queue and typically ships within 4 to 7 weeks. You can always request updates as your order progresses.

How long does a crafted-to-order part take?

In-stock items ship from our Chicago-area warehouse within 1 to 3 business days.

Crafted-to-order items enter production within 48 hours of your order and typically arrive in 4 to 7 weeks. Occasionally a long production queue, carrier delays, or customs processing can add time. We'll keep you updated at each stage, and you can always ask for a status update at support@insignist.com.

Do you Ship to Norway?

Yes. Shop in NOK and the price you see at checkout is the price you pay: Norwegian VAT and any import duties are calculated and included at checkout, so there is nothing extra to pay on delivery.
