Total Disrespect to BMWs by Pkilla617 on Youtube (Now Fired)
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Quote:
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. |

This happens more often than you think with just about every marque that ships into the US. In fact, something very similar happened with my 550 when it made the trip to the US. I was there the day the car arrived at Baltimore. (Head of Port Security was former colleague of mine, got us right up to the ship.)
Young guy unloading the car decides to go for a bit of a joyride en route to VPC. Captured it all on my iPhone. He was speeding, revving the engine, and mishandling the car in general. I talked to the VPC Manager on duty. The guy was instantly terminated. And BMW had to build me a new car.

I thought the transport mode makes sure they cant go past a certain RPM, like 5,000 maybe? |

In my circumstance, he was clearly doing just fine, transport mode or not...

There have been many incidents and I have seen a lot of young guys driving these cars around the lot. BMW needs to get responsible people taking care of these cars, they are not toys.
It's funny how he uses the same words over again , he clearly doesn't know jack squat about cars or handling them, where do BMW find these people? Looks like they just hire anyone these days. |

i didn't see any part where he actually abused the car. maybe it wasn't filmed. but with the video we see, i don't think he did anything wrong. this guy is just filming and cruising around. i doubt he could or would drive WOT in the parking facility or outside of it for fear of wrecking something he could not easily explain away.
what i do have a problem with is service people who put an inappropriate number of miles on our cars doing who knows what, who have enough knowledge of how to drive these cars to actually do damage to them. and if something actually happened, there is no culpability and they have means at their disposal to try to cover it up.

Dealers should just have demonstrator models of every car for this purpose. That way you don't have to abuse a car in break-in period that someone might buy.

I don't like this guy nor any other "delivery" guys who can't show respect for other people's property. I don't want anyone's grubby hands playing with my car before I get to it.
Taking pictures/video/rapping is fine - rev'ing the engine and tinkering with the electronics - NO

Whoever brought their Shakir M6 Convertible in MA on 05/17/13, nice cocaine white interior.
That car should of been in transport mode? I always thought the dealer takes it out of transport and does PDC. I guess the VPC takes it out of transport mode and the dealer does PDC. This is why I purchased my '10 E60 M5 with 1 mile on the ODO and my '13 M5 with 3 miles on the ODO. I barely make it to the closest gas station and I bring it home the way you see the car in the video.

What makes this video even worse is that he doesn't know ANYTHING about the car.
"Yeah, M6. Yeah. M6. M6. Thing's a beast. Loving these stocks. M6. In case I didn't mention it, it's the M6. Damn, look at all this leather. I ain't neva seen leather in a car. Let's see how this rides. Thing's a beast. Haven't driven one yet but it's a beast." Last edited by keepittrill; 06-13-2013 at 10:30 AM.. |

So that's how they deliver a new car to their customers.

not mad he doesn't know much about the car bc most ppl dont. lol.
cocaine white tho, owww. he doesn't seem to be abusing the vehicles, thankfully but i can see how some ppl would want to literally be the first person to turn on the AC in their cr, so it's understandble why some would be upset with this. i wouldn't tho. they are meant to be driven and we all have warranties, so it's all good in my eyes. he's prob using these videos to gain views for his rapping career, tho. |
