*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 For all you guys who love bagging, chroming and clear tail lights TM Link Love the wagons but this is a wee bit much for my liking Oh and window decals My personal opinion........ That is totally criminal What a waste of a really sort after BMW, especially if it is a "minter" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeddy 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I'm not sure what tourings go for but if it was stock and with those low km's i'm sure it'd be much more appealing. By doing this they are totally polarizing their market to a select few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 You all need a 330 ... you wont complain about power vs stock hondas, subaru's, toyotas, nissans etc etc ever again as i've said before time and time again... BMW gets a bad rep due to the amount of import 318's and 320 e36s on the road (no offence to anyone ofcorse) ... just apples with apples guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 For all you guys who love bagging, chroming and clear tail lights TM Link Love the wagons but this is a wee bit much for my liking Oh and window decals Thanks for the “spotted†link That’s disappointing, I would think wit those low KMs (although im sure they are intact miles) it would be worth 8-10k stock. Can air bags be removed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) Ah, yes Jeddy. Your research uses complete words that have had letters shuffled. Not a bunch of abbreviated crap, because people can't (or won't) spell. Edited April 7, 2008 by Cain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeddy 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Ah, yes Jeddy. Your research uses complete words that have had letters shuffled. Not a bunch of abbreviated crap, because people can't (or won't) spell. maybe its the evolution of language(using to increase output as you have to type less)however for some it has the opposite effect it takes them loooonger to read it Well someone who does all that to a car doesn't need to write poorly to be able to tell they're dimwitted.

jjs 64 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 My bad Anyway thats spelling not grammar Well, you are not the only one. This whole topic does seem rather hypocritical to me. The bulk of people using this forum are far from perfect when it comes to spelling and grammar. In many cases, this is a true example of "the pot calling the kettle black". Last time I checked, Bimmersport was a forum for BMW owners, not critics of the English language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cale 36 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 Definitely been blown out of proportion by some others using text language (I agree, is horrible to try and decypher), personally don't have a problem with typos and general spelling mistakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 I agree that this forum is for BMW enthusiasts and not a spelling bee competition. And I don't think the admins (and the rest of us who frown on bad spelling/grammar) intend to be anal about this. There's a difference between making the odd spelling mistake and writing a whole paragraph of incomprehensible crap that forces people to read twice to understand what you're saying. People on here are a friendly bunch but don't expect people to help you if you won't even make the effort to write a decent paragraph. I believe these individuals aren't stupid; if they actually tried it would show, and this whole fuss wouldn't have been made. But when people start txting in the forum and using stupid excuses such as 'it saves time' - please... don't fool yourself. First off characters are free on the internet. Second, attend a typing course because those of us who use proper English in the forum don't find typing a chore - it's second nature. If you type more you start typing faster. And they've been told a million times but I'll say it again - proper English is required in the workplace so why not start now? My point? Sometimes it seems like people are actually TRYING to spell badly. And those are the people who we don't want around. To the rest of us who make genuine mistakes... that's totally acceptable.

allan 295 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 +1 Thank you Yuen . The point of this thread has been well thrashed out and the appropriate action taken by the administrator concerned let us move on to other items. Please can this thread be closed before it degrades into a slinging match and further tension is created. Cheers Allan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
