Folks,
I would STRONGLY suggest the cessation of posts of unsolicited videos, messages, images, and the like that portray any likeness of anyone involved in a negative character light, as such can be used to bolster any potential litigation with character assassination as merit. Ken can and should prevail here, but some here may be unknowingly subjecting themselves to potential litigation. This isn't legal advice, merely an opine from one who is concerned at the direction and tone this has taken, with a minimum of 3 attorneys directly involved and with vested interests for their clients, perusing these forums. |

So, therefore, no damages to recover...but I also am not a lawyer... "No harm, no foul" is the common metaphor

BMW M Power,
I too have been a BMWCCA member for a very long time about 20 years minus a 2 year hiatus in the middle for college. I read the Roundel from the moment it arrives cover to cover. I am the one who posted on our Forum at BWMCCA about this. I like the idea that you are giving your $.02 to this situation, but I am uncofmortable that you are using your "president" status as your signature. For all the readers here, he is not representing BMWCCA and nor am I. You intentions might have been to be unbiased and share information with all of us, but your post was clearly supporting the dealer. Have you spoken to Dooma to get both sides of the story? I contacted Dooma on day one to invite him to our LA chapter. I hope he joins. Southbay BMW is Awesome and will take good care of him. |

Again, this is not written in an argumentative tone at all. Not really sure what "rectitude" means, even with a college education!!! LOL.. I am certainly NOT SO STUPID as to think there haven't been some people that have had bad dealings, or raw deals, at BMW of Lincoln. Some of them are posting now. But for 4-5 people, some past employees who are scorn and possibly rightfully so, is just not a huge number in my mind. Are there others out there, probably yes. But there are almost 1 million hits here....only 5 people!!!! Ok...give them 10 people pissed off then.... I would say I agree that there is probably at any given time of the day, a customer at one of the 368 US BMW Centers that is getting a raw one. My job is not to defend the Dealership. That is not what I was doing. I had some information that NO ONE had, many were asking for and I was quiet about it for about a week. I had many members contact me but were afraid to say anything because anyone posting ANYTHING positive was completely blasted, called a troll and personally attacked. I appreciate you recognizing the ammount of work it takes to build a membership base that started out at only 113 members into something that is now hovering steadily around 400-500 with many events, at least one a month. I have great people around me and would never accept praise for doing this myself. Some of the best people I know are members of the club and I am proud to call them friends..... Jeff |

Actually, I thought it was pretty funny in layout. The cheesy voiceover sounds like the girls voice on my Garmin GPS...LOL.... The message conveyed, as you can imagine, is NOT the treatment I have received at the dealership. I am sure others feel they have gotten that treatment and that is their story to tell. I do think it will be remembered, while not with any special effects awards or anything. I cannot speak for anyone at the dealership other than they said they were getting "beat up", especially Fil.... Jeff |

personally, i think they're trying to stall or prod the fire hoping for a technicality to get off the blame. DON"T DO IT KEN !! its stall after stall, then trying to pass the blame onto you. "sure we'll complete the deal" (i'm the good guy) "you can't even afford it !" (cast doubt onto you, you bad, they good). now, "we still want to complete deal" (we STILL good, and trying to be helpful), but "you paying with invalid mean" (you're bad guy). i say advance legally to OFFICIALLY put them on the spot even more so. enough is enough. they're obviously trying to get you frustrated to commit an error. in a sense, they've got your car hostage. and when you're trying to pay ransom, they're upping the ante. BOGUS !! advance legally, so its not just a closed door privately b/w 2 parties. let the world know what a piece a work these guys (Van Tuyl / husker auto). i'm sure nebraska wouldn't want to be associated with them (NCAA always investigating business relationships with universities). |

i think the key here is that payment isn't recieved b/c you are choosing to not recieve it. fly him to the dealership, so he can provide funding validly, and in person. |

M3 post, please ban this guy. Closing this thread will basically take away all the support and evidence from Ken.

Seriously, this should be kept open. At least over 2k people (writing) thought so, not to add the 800k viewers.

lol, i HIGHLY doubt that they got any sales. its very easy to put "sold !" and make multiple copies or print outs and stamp them a few inches thick. (its an old-school tactic to decieve). They very well might be complaints or shows of support for Ken they received !! yeah, they're getting publicity, but not the good kind for sure. whatever the title he has, he has the top rank in that dealership, so he has got to make it right, regardless of whose fault (internet guy or himself for not checking on everything that goes on in his dealership). i'm sure he gets to approve of putting a vehicle online before its done. if they wanted to stop the Sh!tstorm, they should accept the payment (its a check, which will probably means it takes a few days to clear, so they shouldn't be crying the very next day when the funds haven't fully been transferred). They have the chance to make things right, and so far, they haven't. its as simple as that. |
