Good thoughts.

What if Tine really is the "source of bmw", and just got warned by his boss not to realize the info?
What if Tine is the owner of BMW? What if .. what if..

all these distrust.

I say ban both. Speed calls people liars for posting deals that he can't do. And now he has not responded to all this. BAN!!!!!!

Alright guys, I'm sorry, but I am both SpeedFreak! and Tine.

I am actually the assistant to the manager of Lexus' Spy Branch.

dpcdomino · 02-06-2006, 08:26 AM

Wow...I got suckered. I do not feel that bad though. Fool me once shame on me.

I think all the bitter people here have just been fooled more than once. I never TRUELY believe anything until I see it for myself.

vladinecko · 02-06-2006, 08:36 AM

thankfully, i couldn't care less about 335i...

deadfresh · 02-06-2006, 08:59 AM

Okay this is the situation... Too much info was posted and it got the attention of BMW. In a lame attempt to deflect attention a certain poster posts confliciting info to try to get some heat off his back. That does not work so in a panic this thread is made. That is all I have to say.

shimshimhada · 02-06-2006, 09:08 AM

I'm torn between oranges and clementines.

Classic conspiracy theory, I like it!

Robin_NL · 02-06-2006, 09:54 AM

The engine specs and other things Speedfreak and Tine came up with weren't exactly fairytales imho. A 335i IS due and it's closer than we think. Specs? Dunno(direct injection for sure and I think a biturbo 3.0 from what I HAVE READ in auto motor und sport, a german car mag)

Please don't shoot me...

That is what it sounds like to me... I went back through Tines posts and he used to name his source (S26 - BMW insider who routinely posts inside info on the net). S26 is very well respected for having accurate info. My guess is S26 gave speed some details in confidence and Tine went running his mouth... This may have comprimised S26's position with BMW. BMW also may have threatened Tine with legal action. Now Tine is trying to do damage control but is only making the situation worse.

This thread is a desperate attempt to get out of hot water.

jumpinjoe · 02-06-2006, 11:06 AM

Could Speed and Tine be the same person? I know it sounds crazy that someone would carry on an imaginary two way conversation, but what are the odds of two such jerks existing?

What is interesting is no mod/dealer/etc. really posted to the string...why? Maybe BMW did 'warn' people...

"...REALLY PISSED..."
"sue their asses"
:mad:

Some people might just be annoyed. I am. But a lot of people seem pretty upset. Don't you think? If you need more examples, read some posts by members with "3" as the initial character in their handles.

I am not upset. I am a happy person "Whoosa"
I don't want to murder people making false statements.
I dont care if people insult my intelligence.
O and by the way
"members with "3" as the initial character in their handles."
It stands for 3some.
The happy peacefull guy.
