Me and my friends had a good time. Everyone seemed very cool and willing to share info about their cars. I won a couple things from the raffle too.

I saw some nice looking angel eyes on a few M3's. There are so many different variations. I really wanted to see the ZKW euro headlight installation demo anyone know what happened? Someone at the show said that umnitza was the one who was supposed to do the install but they didn't show up.

I read this on bf
there was supposed to be an install demo but the vendor (umnitza) did not show up as promised. the end result is that we took a hit financially by reserving a space for his company and they didn't pay us. i apologize for that, i feel partially responsible because i went against the warnings of my partners and took the vendors word, that he would be there and donate a set of headlights for the show on good faith.

That really sucks, there are so many shady businesses in the BMW market.

That black car was my favorite too! The car is just plain and simple & not too busy.

i wouldn't recommend anyone doing business with him. the guy is not a man of his word. therefore i have no respect for him.

Very nice car! I'm wondering why he kept the "ballsack" exhaust?

You were offered a considerable concession as an apology, yet you still chose to show your true colors.

As it's CLEAR that you decided to drag our name through the mud for no reason, people should know that:
a) there was no binding contract whatsoever - a promise that we would do our best to attend
b) we apologized because 3 of our guys were simply unavailable and I offered you a large concession on price as an apology for not being able to attend - which would have covered your "supposed lost revenue" on an event that drew about 1/30th of what you promised would attend.

I recall our conversations from your end and the "promises" you didn't keep:

1) We'll have MTV filming this event
2) We'll have 300+ participants
3) We'll have 1000s of brochures and visitors getting those brochures.

Seems like while we failed to show, and we admitted that it was our fault by offering you concession, you failed to live up to even 1 of those promises. What was WORSE is you verbally AND via documented emails THREATENED US via thinly veiled extortion attempts to gain our cooperation. Had you not done that, I would have been a little more amenable to your terms...but I will NOT cowtow to your immature, feeble, and nonsensical extortion attempts.

For your cost of including our logo onto the brochures I offered you $60 (which is about $50 more than it actually cost) for the 100 brochures you probably passed out.

You shouldn't have said anything. Business is business. You didn't fulfill your promises, we didn't fulfill ours. We attempted to make amends, you decided to attempt extortion. You showed your true colors.

Please read the post above about our supposed practices. Thousands of customers aren't wrong.
