If you are referring to me, there's one thing posting pictures on here for people's interest, which is appreciated, but it's another ball game altogether posting "Wimmer does it again" and "where's my money", especially for a car which has already been launched and had many, many pictures taken and published officially. Exactly what are people supposed to get excited about here, especially when the pictures are of a car which is covered in camouflage and when there are many photos of the same model completely UNDISGUISED on here?

Less self-promotion and I would have nothing to be critical of.

Why do people get so defensive?

Because you are plain and simple rude, not only in this topic as a one off but consistently in other topics as well.

For Betty I don't know, but Luw and I were just making fun. Of course they are appreciated, Wimmer knows this.

Edit;

Thge only thing I don't understand is why he had to post it here, and not in the 5er section. Can a mod place move this thread to the correct location???

Rude? Nah. I tell it like it is. Some people are too sensitive.

If you're going to put yourself on a pedastal (i.e. Wimmer in this case) then you have to be prepared to be knocked off it. If he'd had just simply posted some pics without any fanfare then I would have thanked him (maybe). But he added several asterick's to the subject heading so it stands out more and said "Wimmer does it again" and "where's my cash", which to me is going way overboard when he posted something pretty uneventful.

Now, if he'd posted some secret spyshots of a resurected CS Concept being tested or an E92 M3 CSL then I think the self-admiration would have been justified.

Now, this is all reasonable comment. If you choose to see it as being rude then you should get out more.

Just relax chav!

There's no need to start shooting down other members. At least Wimmer contributes something valuable in this forum. If we don't like what he has, then we can ignore it.

Wow man, we already knew you were a conceited jerk, but if you are going to be conceited atleast give us news worthy stuff, this is not only camo'd but also poorly photographed. We cant see a thing. Kind of rediculous.

Jees.
Before any of you lose all sense of reality, please reel your necks in and read how I first responded to the post. It was far from “rude”.

Some people need to just stop being so bloody defensive. My point was valid. Look 3 threads below this one and Wimmer is doing the same self-congratulatory thing again. And talking in the third person which is very unclassy. Anyway, I've made my point. Lets see if Wimmer comes back and accepts he was being too narciscistic

Now I wouldn’t go this far. There’s no need for calling people names.

Eh, I put my name in the title so people will know that I took these pictures. I'd like to think my name is synonymous with decent quality photographs too.

And I know damn well that the car has been released already, but perhaps this is a special version of the 5er GT being tested: an M version or a Hybrid...

Poorly photographed? You're right. These shots are so blurry you can't see anything! I'm a failure at photography. I should tend to growing potatoes in my garden!
