OK... I have a question:



Why is this pic posted by CloneSpecialists...on the 1er forum...the exact same pic that Tony posted on March 24,2008...on Tony's OEM Front Bumper Thread?

?

Why is that strange for me? Well, in my experience, I've done work involving factories/shops and when I go there, I take MY OWN CAMERA, take a bunch of pics, take them home, and select/choose/edit them on my own computer. Makes sense, right?

Well, now the question I have is.... why are these both the exact same pic when they've been posted by two different people?

Answer me this?????? Probably nothing but still....

OK! OK! I need sleep..... I'm going to sleep for a while....
It would have been interesting to ask this question to Clonespecialists but now that it's out in the public, all I'll say is that most of the recent photos Tony posted (in older threads) were all taken with a Sony DSC-T100 camera (including the one of the bumper on the 1er forum that was taken on 2/22/2008) and the recent photos of the body shop posted by Clonespecialists were taken with a Kodak DX4530. The body shop photos were taken on 8/5/2008 (around noon if the time was correct on the camera)...

This sucks guys, good luck getting your money back.

I dealt with him early 2007 with all the hype going around him - he sure did build up some customer base here before pulling this stunt.
Pretty sleazy stuff. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

WOW, this has really escalated.

I got word last week that BofA has fully credited my account and consider the matter closed.

I ordered a M decklid spolier on 6/5. Cancelled order w/ Tony, notified PayPal and Bof A on 7/8. Matter closed on 7/24

I got lucky.

Best wishes to you all.

You serious? You should edit your post. Should anything ever happen, this site and thread can be used as evidence. Use your heads guys.

Now that I've slept, I think it's just pictures. Didn't mean to say Clonespecialists was Tony. I think, after sleeping and a clearer head, it was just that CS used a picture for that 1er forum post from one of Tony's e60 forum posts to show his workmanship.

That's all.

OK, on to the next lead for me.......

Calling out to Miami and/or NMB E60 forum members.

Do you know any BMW dealerships in that area who might have been Tony's supplier? It only makes sense that he got his stuff from someone States-side, not direct from Germany, so maybe if there are any members who know Florida BMW management well..

maybe you could ask to see because it should be easy to find since they would have steadily supplied a Florida company/person with dozens of M-Tech kits?

It's 3:30am here in Dubai. I have a flight home in 14 hours. I was a bit restless, so I started doing some research on Mr. Quad M. Soneone already posted his name here and location in Florida. So I decided to search for a home there....

Anahid W .Chalkilian - Tropical Homes and Rentals

Now the phone number is disconnected, but someone in need of real estate advice in South Florida may be able to utilize the information there in the search for a great, ahem, agent. I really want one so I found this:
Thats a very strange name, i think maybe Iranian.....So this is what D-Bag Bush has been warning us about all these years..lol

That name would be Armenian, I'm sure. I had a friend way back in school who had that last name.
