Exactly! I put it on to sell the car, not to hear about euro bumpers every 5 minutes. You either are interested in the car or you're not.
I can take down the ad if I want to. Go bug someone else about their car.

Well, I'm glad you decided to stick around here. We don't need more of your type around here. You don't seem to get that it's a give/take relationship and you can't bullshit people that are experts on the car.
Pulling your ad down shows you were doing just that. You're trying to get $4500 for a $1200 car.

I just found this one. Damn. I missed the fun. Is he a mechanic from Florida?

This car wasn't going to win any awards at a car show.

You put the car on here to sell, not to hear about euro bumpers. What exactly do you expect to hear when you misrepresent something in front of a panel of experts? If the car is black and you tell everyone it's white do you expect them to just nod their heads? That's pretty naive if you ask me. I feel you were treated quite well. It isn't our fault you are too lazy to investigate what it is you are selling. Grow up and learn from this. Don't get all pissed of because someone called a spade a spade.
A smart person would have eaten some humble pie, apologized for their mistake and made friends with this group. Kill 'em with kindness. Not the case here.

I fixed the one mistake that I put on my ad. I'm still doing research on the car. I'm not acting like I know everything. I don't know very much about it and I already admitted that. I would've taken criticism if it were given. This was not the case. I just have other things to do with my time besides bitching and nit picking every single thing on the car. You either wanted to purchase the car or you didn't. Move the fuck on! Lol nobody cares what you have to say! I wasn't bullshitting anyone. We all know by now, that it is NOT a euro bumper. Cool! Is "my e28" your life? Damn I feel sorry for you.

Clearly shows how naive you are. We absolutely care what other members have to say. People who come on this forum just to buy cars care what other members have to say. Why wouldn't they? this forum is full of experience. You need to read what you write before you submit.

I already said I took into consideration what everyone was saying and changed my ad. If people want to talk to me about my car that's fine, but I don't need to hear about my non euro bumper a million times. So clearly you didn't read the thread. But thanks for your input.

Claiming the car has had multiple pieces of desirable equipment added and/or changed when it does not posses them is not "nitpicking" on our part, it's misrepresentation by you. The mods claimed change of the value of the car significantly. It does not have them. That's commonly referred to as "lying".
You either wanted to purchase the car or you didn't.
The fact that you still have the title in your name and no money in hand indicates the effectiveness of your advertising and sales methods. Dishonesty doesn't play well here, whether intentional or accidental.
Move the fuck on!
Yes. Please do.

Does your E28 have a V6? If not, I'm not interested.

You seemed fine with that right up until I pointed out it doesn't have an M30B35 either. Paul concurred and after that, the ad is gone. People were giving you benefit of the doubt on the car up until then.

The bumper was the only thing "misrepresented"
The motor is a b35 not a 34.
But once again nobody cares what you have to say

Let me speak in a language that you may understand:
Bro, you have a bro34. You do not have a bro35. Listen, bro, it's obvious you don't bro the difference. Look it up, bro. Bro, check out some pictures of bro34s and bro35s, bro. It'll help, bro.
Good luck with the sail, bro.

That's an m30b34. Still running the stock Motronic as well.

Chris is that a wrinkle on the left shock tower I see there? Has this car been hit?
Posted: May 13, 2014 1:50 PM
by wkohler
I'm not seeing the wrinkle (it's pretty dirty over there) but it definitely has been hit or hit something. The grille support is tweaked and there's no fan shroud so the radiator is likely pushed back a bit. Hard to say for sure without seeing the car which won't happen.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw the accident at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

OMFG. I just experienced a RAGING hard-on while reading this. You know what that means, right?
It means... I WANT TO BUY A CAR FROM THIS MAN! I got cash! Where's the damned car? Where is it? I want it! To me, the best part about buying cars is the interesting people you get to meet. This is just the guy I need to help me market my IT consulting business!
"Look, you want me to secure your company's backbone or not? If not, move the fuck on! No one cares what you have to say."
OMG, this is better than that time I freebased viagra and cocaine....
