Meet the man known on YouTube, Twitter and his personal blog as Pkilla617. Boston resident, aspiring rap artist, self-proclaimed marijuana and stripper enthusiast, and apparently, a former employee at the Boston Autoport, where he had access to a slew of brand new cars as they come into the harbor. We don't know his real name, how long he worked at the Autoport, or when he was terminated.

But what has some of the people over at M5 Post rankled is that Pkilla617 had a habit of shooting himself revving the new cars right after turning them on, then putting the videos out on his Twitter and YouTube page.

BMWs weren't the only targets. The Boston Autoport in Charlestown processes some 70,000 cars a year for import and export, so we also get to see him rev a new Subaru BRZ, a Maserati, and a Challenger R/T, just to name a few.

But the BMWs, particularly M cars, seemed to have been his favorite targets. (Not that anyone can blame him for that.) He even lamented the fact that one frozen gray M3 comes in rev-limited transport mode, but he still redlines it and records the sound.

Anyone else feel if this was their car they would be totally pissed?

This guy seems to unload or move the cars after they come to Boston.










Are you all kidding me? You elitist hyper-consuming pigs.

You all should be ashamed.

Here is a guy that did nothing more than convey his respect for the vehicles.

If what he did was so damaging then BMW would put a few licks of code in the firmware to limit over revs.

Instead of spending 5 minutes training the guy, people are celebrating the loss of his job.

I suspect these machines were a bit out of his reach for the time being and now they are even more out of his reach.

So the celebrators are patting themselves on the back that this poor guy---legally supporting himself---is now jobless because he did little more than celebrate their machines.

You all should be ashamed. If only your bosses held you to the same standard you are holding him.

What has this world come to!

Cars aren't a replacement for women. And if you're using them to pick up women (or men), neither will care that Pkilla617 revved the engine at the dock. Every one of the cars he 'abused' will be worth next to nothing in 10 years. And I would even hazard a guess that most of these are leases. Which is probably a lot of the users crying outrage here...

I'm so glad Pkilla617 got caught. But I'm sure Pkilla618, 619, etc. are doing the same shit and not posting it on YouTube. Seriously, this is silly, get over yourselves.

Blame everybody else but him....right. Like he didn't break the terms of his employment. That's the problem with America, no more accountability. It's always someone else's fault.

What happened to not taking liberties with out people's property? Especially while on the job?

What about deceny, respect, and accountability? Why should BMW have to update their firmware b/c of some guy on doing this?

Are you going to be the one who is going to train this guy? Do you really think, after all you've seen, that he's going to listen? With his attitude and way of thinking?

What has this world come to where people tolerate bad behavior and say, it's ok, it's not his fault because of his stature in life and that these cars are out of his reach? That's total BS.

I, as a customer, when I buy something new, should have the reasonable expectation that people should not take liberties with my car that I paid over $100K for. I would feel the same way if I bought toyota for $20K.

I was going to say something similar to that effect, but I decided to hold back until I had more information. Bottom line though is that he broke the rules that his company set forth. I was going to say we should be weary of the problem of classism in this society but videos like these on YouTube do perpetuate the problem. I think he should have been fired only on the merits that he broke the rules and not because he made videos admiring new expensive cars.

Guess what. Most people that 'abuse' these cars don't see it that way. And most never will. Get real. If they respected other people's property and felt like you do, they wouldn't be working a job unloading cars...

I know, and I understand that this type of behavior is common. Doesn't make it right though, and if one gets caught doing so, then good. One less person.

Once the cars are unloaded and driven to the designated location then the BMW employees can then take the cars, process them, wash them, add a lil fuel and them drive them to the truck or train loading ramp. To me it looks like this guy who got fired was most likely one of the people who transported the cars off the ship to the designated areas.
This was the process when I worked at Toyota Logistics in Long Beach, even though we were right in the harbor, Toyota employees were not allowed on the ships, only the Longshore Men (basically union dock workers).
So saying BMW needs to get a handle in this is placing the blame at the wrong party. The field supervisors of the docks need to get a handle on thier employees.
True, it isn't directly BMW's fault. However, they must be able to put pressure on the dock companies in some way.

Yes. Restrict the car to 3000 rpm until dealer can set up for delivery.

Yo Yo Yo.......... cocaine white interior!!!
Someone call 50 Cent up, he has competition

On another note, BMW could run with this as a new exterior/interior color(s)
Drop the Alpine white & mineral white. Cocaine white is *IN*

I am doomed

I recently bought a M6 vert, sakhir orange with opal white, from Boston Herb Chambers. One thing I loved about the car when I picked it from the showroom was its shiny-greyish-black soft top and the beautiful interior.

Reading this post with sympathy, i clicked on the M6 video out of curiosity. Now i am doomed. That car is my car. I just did 1200 miles and put it into service while I am visiting my home country. I just went thru the break-in period with extreme caution to find out that this car was tampered by a mofo off the street who has no respect whatsoever for others' properties.

What do I do now? I am terrified.

I'm sure many of our cars were revved like that, if not worse, before delivery. Especially as first year M5's that everyone was curious about. Don't take it close to heart
