Apart from stating the obvious-pair of cock sockets!

What's the story - too fast for them? Shite MPG? Tyres wear out too quickly?

I think the bloke in the suit should really have brought an adult with him.

Apparently he was fucked off with the fact the car had been into the garage more than 10 times and the techs had failed to fix all the rattles, squeaks and the rough shifting that he complained about.

He plans on getting the car fixed then driving it to another motorshow and smashing it up again.

From the youTube comments it reads like the guy was not happy with various issues on his €120,000 car.
Apparently various dealers could not fix them...

On the video the woman recording says something about handing out stuff. I persume leaflets.

Either way, not sure what point he is making.

BMW is not going to give a c*** and neither are any of the people there.

Nice way to destory whats left of that €120,000 he spent...

The rumour is that he asked several adults and they all refused saying how childish his suggestion (muller a BMW) was.

He did look rather like a girl whilst wielding an axe.

I think he is annoyed that the SMG gearbox is shit. That's pretty well known though!

Hmm..yeah, that makes so much sense.

That's not a protest, it's a public display of how to behave like a petulant child.

What a bellend.

Maybe he got tired of people telling him what mods the car needed.

True, it's his car, but if he's really so unhappy with it and feels the need to throw money away, why not trade it in on something he likes better? *shrug* maybe I'm too logical.

That's a really wussy job of destroying the car, too.

Why not sell the car?? Even if he paid €120,000 and wasn't happy sell it for the price I'm sure someone would buy it and be "happy" with the rattles etc ?

Cock to much money no brains ... Hate what he'd do to his wife is she didn't play ball

I don't know what the fuss is all about - a microfibre and a bit of SRP and it'll be as good as new.

Well built

I'm actually quite surprised at the relatively small dent a full blooded blow with a sledge hammer made. All the video demonstrated for me was that BMWs are surprisingly tough

Yep after he's discovered an annoying rattle (that no one else can hear) coming from somewhere in the dash!

Was it just me who found that a little upsetting? I know it's only metal built by robots, but it still seems like a waste...
