Small rant...N55 twin tt...

persian54 · 12-31-2010, 03:46 PM

One of my employees recently got himself a 2011 135 with Mtech.

But he's telling everyone he got the "new 135 M twin turbo"

and I tried to calmly explain to him that is is indeed a single turbo twin-scroll.. and with M-tech package and it is not a 1 M

But he said stuff like "it says twin turbo on the engine" "320 horsepower" etc...

I wanted to call him an idiot..

I told him it actually has the same 300bhp (more or less) as the previous 135 with the N54 equipped engine....

and Also that it really only has about 270whp....

Also if he wanted I could get him a JB tune for an increase in hp to 310-320whp but he said "why pay for less?"

I don't know this is just a rant...

Anyone else get pissed off when people don't know crap about their cars? then start arguing with you when they have have no proof..?

That is absolutely the most offensive thing I have ever heard.

If I were you I would contact a lawyer and sue the dumb SOB.

Explain to him that he is lucky to be living in the USA and that in many countries that type of despicable behavior is punishable by death!

In other words take the high road and let it go. If that is the most annoying thing that one of your employees has done recently you are have a great staff.

Lol no.
I've already had to let 3 employees go this month already

I needed to lay them off last month to cut expenses, but I felt bad doing it during the holidays... at least they were able to finish 2010...

Yea that's what I'm thinking; it's so annoying.

Shouldn't it be illegal to false advertise like this?

Forcefed3 · 12-31-2010, 04:14 PM

Why don't you just send him this thread?

chancejat · 12-31-2010, 04:16 PM

tell him to google it......

rothwem · 12-31-2010, 04:19 PM

Enh, just let it go. Arguing with stupid people is not worth my time.

Well IMO you did the right thing and he is fortunate to be working for you.

Do your ranting to your friends here on E90Post and get it out or your system. That's what friends are for.

I once bet someone in the office that a Lexus V8 has 4 cams. He refused to believe even a cutaway that I downloaded from the web. These folks are sore losers imho, kinda just like a child yelling or screaming when they don't get their way. He shoulda paid me $1000 but refused, so I fired him.

Coolieman1220 · 12-31-2010, 05:14 PM

sigh dumb people. the other day i saw an e92 w/ a M3 rear bumper and quad exhaust. it wasn't an M3 by any means, may not have even been a 335i, i drove by w/ a thumbs down!

Marcadelic · 12-31-2010, 05:36 PM

I don't see anything wrong with his statement, maybe you have trouble understanding many drivers, who treat their cars like their babies, with a little bit sense of humor mixed in.

FrankiE90 · 12-31-2010, 06:43 PM

happy new years!

BlackBimmer1991 · 12-31-2010, 07:04 PM

does he also have a 3.2 liter engine?

Lagger1 · 12-31-2010, 07:31 PM

The 2011 135 cover says "twinpower turbo" .......it is confusing as hell to the normal consumer. IDK where 320 comes from

no its not. If you look at it for more then 3 seconds and then process it in your brain the average " car guy " would know whats up or at least ask a question about it.

Its funny because heall prolly go driving around telling everyone it has 2 turbos.

twin turbo= 2 turbos
twin power TURBO= 1 turbo that has the power of 2.......

Its pretty simple

It is not. The people here automatically think the next guy who drives a BMW should know all these, but most people don't know nor care, else BMW would have sold a lot more MTs.
