Saw an older black mazda hatch on Twin Cities in NT yesterday. It was black with a big FMIC and 4 HUGE exhaust pipes sticking out the back.

I’ve also seen a black bmw with red wheels on it a few times over the winter

I don’t know many bmw models, but it was probably early 90s, two door, lowered. And it was a large sticker in the back drivers side. Forgot the color already. We drove really slow from Walden/Union to Armor Duells around 7.

theres a guy around that has a newer white 3 series with an exhaust and blue wheels. Also has a big vinyl on the trunk. I don’t know if he is on here but he tries to race people all the time (me in my base model civic on the 90) and ive seen him at lancaster. Anyways, I was at towne BMW yesterday and when the salesman walked me through the back there were a few techs working on it. The salesman told me that it sounded like it had a bunch of exhaust leaks among other things. Got a good chuckle out of it.

Salesman is an asshole. The tech who worked on his car is an asshole. He wanted his dp gaskets replaced and they wouldn’t do it because the call has an aftermarket exhaust on it. The exhaust is direct from BMW Performance. They claim it was “pieced together” um no thats how they sell it. They would not even give him a price because of the “aftermarket exhaust”. ITS STAMPED BMW ALL OVER THE PLACE! Plus they did a recall, and his heated seats didnt work after, tech “knocked the fuse out”. Personally I’m pissed at Towne BMW at the moment. Went to look at a 335is last week, salesman gonna call me this monday with a price and to see if after detail… No call. And yes he does like to race people.

People make mistakes, it wasn’t like the tech did any damage to the car. That exhaust is much louder than anything sold by BMW by the way…

If it was the salesman’s car, i feel like they would cut him a break, unless i read that wrong. Regardless, the techs have policies they need to follow, i know they can get chewed out pretty bad by general managers for doing stuff like mentioned up above, they just played it safe.
