Default Hilarious video about bad car design

This video shows an owner's complaint about the design values inherent in his BMW. Sure, many car manufacturers have owners griping about similar things, but this video has some funny editing skills and even special effects. If you don't want your child exposed to some foul language, don't watch it with them in the room or listen to the video with headphones on.

I used to sell new BMW's in the UK direct from the factory in Munich.

Because I did so much business for BMW they gratefully thanked me by BLACKLISTING me globally (Yup I cannot buy a new BMW anywhere in the world.) and tried to sue me!

Not that I'd want to though, I drove enough of them to know I'd rather stick with my Jags.

At least my Jags weren't assembled in Germany from parts manufactured in China, and my daily drive is now a BMW Owned, British Car built in Spain. Yes I drive a 1999 Diesel Range Rover (oh look at that 6cyl 2.5 Diesel engine, with BMW emblazened all over the rocker cover) Most of the problems assosiated with driving the worlds most unreliable car (Courtesy Top Gear) are down to the parts that BMW designed and used on this magnificent Footballers chariot.

I recall a story going around the industry when I was active in it, regarding BMW's European Marketing head, when questioned about why BMW's customer service was so bad in Europe, he replied with "What a stupid quesrion, you really think we care about the European customer? We only sell cars here as a courtesy, it's the Asian Market where we make our money, so just be thankful that we sell our cars in Europe at all." Naturally this was all in German, and NO he was not sacked, demoted or punished, it's the company line.

And we wonder why Audi's suddenly became so popular!
