I haven't quite been able to wrap my head around the idea that everyone jumped on him for writing a review. Did you read what I posted earlier?

1. Brian is a repeat CUSTOMER of BSW.
2. Brian offered to post reviews
3. Brian does not work, is not paid and has zero connection to BMW except as a customer


Why would that be 'calling him out'?

Yea, we hear you, but it still smelled A LOT like viral marketing.

1. Dude had 1 post. His 1st post was about BSW specifically.
2. He sounded like a salesman.
3. He made it sound like BSW > Obama.

So, it was pretty fishy and that is why your boy Brian was called out.

I can assure you that we are not a vendor/scammer

We just did not know about this forum or we would have been here long before now!

Oh, and for you BMWCCA members out there, check your Roundel magazines. BSW is in there quite a bit.

Yeah I kinda like how in the past few days the bimmerfest and here have had a lot of positive reviews from low post count new members on BSW stuff.

May just be a coincidence though.

look what i just found at bimmerforums...

http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showt...d.php?t=1159000

look familiar anyone? clearly an advertisement after all or a good buddy posting a "review" as an advertisement. I am all about a good vendor advertising, but this is cheesy

...so i wonder what kind of discount brian got for posting his review on the forums. It is actually a really good idea and i am just jealous that i didnt get a huge discount for what is prob a high quality product for posting a "review" on a few bmw forums... its a solid payoff for the vendor, i mean how many of us are interested in a group buy now? i am...

this guy did get a little heavy on the copy and paste new member cross-posting. I think he went overboard with the use of the word "our" too. it's not like the m5board was short on glowing reviews for the bsw speaker package.

m5board too

Having said that, I didn't get any special discount (they did have a black friday sale they announced on m5board I took advantage of) and I'd happily do it again. there's no way to buy 11 custom fit speakers anywhere that sound this good for less.

The offer is there, if you want a group buy/discount let me know.
Looks to me like a lot of people have all ready stated their interest in a group buy...

I say go put one up in the group buys section.

I vote for 25% off for 10. Maybe we can get that many

30% for 15 works too

and 50% for 20 (I really like this one)
