"1) Respect. By far the most important rule here. Through the generations of BMW, enthusiasts have come together for the love of the car and the community. So the basic rules of real life apply here, show each other respect and you will get respect as well. Don't bash someone else here because you feel like it. Derogatory or insulting remarks will not be tolerated. This applies to all corners of the site - including posts, profile visitor messages, and thread tags."And you perfectly know that, apart from those written from rules, there are unwritten good manners rules too. Of course there is plenty of room and flexibility for humor, criticism, irony, cynism, sarcasm, doubtful taste, tough talk, etc. (look who's talking ), but expect disapproval of the community regarding ad hominem attacks (even if you might consider that the merits of the point of view of someone are clearly ill-founded). Now read again your post, in Chinese, about BJ1M ("All I can say is that you're a bad person" - http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...43&postcount=2). That was no serene way of expressing your point of view (style and contents), don't you think so ?

Now.. lets get back on topic or do not post at all. You are free to PM what you think privately, but lets not go to war over this. I can and will start handing out infractions. The OP photo that Mr.Metak re-posted does seem to suggest something not on the up and up here. I have to ask myself why would someone go to all that trouble. ? Dack

But what I'm trying to say is - why are some other languages allowed, and not chinese? there's pleinty of posts with other languages half way in the middle, and this is just the first one being called "rude" on. With the amount of hostility towards china and made in china, I'm sorry, I can't help but be sensitive to this matter. And to Dack, I have yet seen you say others being rude in those situations. I'm not challenging his authority. I said, if what I'm saying is considered bannable, go right ahead. I'm not disrespecting anyone, all I'm asking is why, and equality. Now, perhaps the only difference being was that we started a conversation in chinese right on the 2nd post. But hey, "ich spreche Deutsch" to me is no different to "我讲中文“ to you. Both ways, google can translate it. Is it rude to me that others speak a different language? I never thought of it that way, I use Chrome to auto translate.

btw
OP deleted his post because there was a 99% similar post posted by another member, they were linking the pictures from the same chinese car forum. He deleted this one and went to post in the other.

btw in case you don't understand that post, and that translator tells you they're talking about "Chrysanthemum" or "mums"
chinese slang refers to "ass holes" as mum flowers (because they look the same? I dunno), and exhaust pipes r often referred to as "ass holes", and hence. but just for kicks, that's what it means.

These pictures got me thinking... so I looked up the rear exhaust on RealOEM.com...
and low and behold... China DOES get a special different rear exhaust muffler! National China version... China exhaust muffler #18107847100 EU/RoW spec muffler #18107845402 http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...32&hg=18&fg=20 The curious thing is how can the 1M muffler/can pass Swiss noise regs while not pass Chinese ones!?!? .

Picture #5 is definitely the original one. Picture #4 definitely is picture #5 with four additionally drilled holes 'photoshopped away' (the photo fragment used to copy/paste - probably with Microsoft Paint software - the four additionally drilled holes, still features by mistake in the corner of the picture). Watermark is at the other side and corner because of the picture flipping. Conclusive evidence that picture #4 is unreliable. Why did they toy with the original picture ? By doing so, credibility was compromised.

I suspect the explanation is really quite innocent.
Perhaps they failed to take a "before" picture and, belatedly, sought to show what it orginally looked like. In any case, it would appear that the suggestion of mischief and skullduggery was misfounded. Neil |

Can we somehow merge these two threads so I don't have to respond to the same posts twice? Good find Dack! And yes Artemis, I agreed with you in the other thread....

I agree Neil, it probably was exactly the scenario you suggest, but when someone comes here claiming the 1M quads are 'fakes' and presents a PS altered pic(which is all I was suggesting), it just can't be taken as seriously. You can Monday morning quarterback now that we have more information but it took a week of BS back and forth to get to the bottom of it.
