+1!!! I wanted to post earlier, but since you did I will add my hearty agreement.

Moderators, can we just close this thread already?

Lack of accountability is a scourge on society so you bet I'm going to call it out when it's obvious. One less irresponsible owner isn't a bad thing.

Lack of accountability and not being responsible IS a real problem nowadays. However who some people think they are to judge and force a fellow forum member to spell things that he doesn't want? Even when people are arrested for wrong doing they still have the right to stay silent. So what is the power some members here think they are entitled? That they believe to be absolute, owner of the true, the perfect citizen and the judge?????
I had a post completely distorted by one imbecile before and I know how it is… he was so idiotic that ended banned. Although it is easy to come back with a new avatar… he is probably around.
In my perception the approach some members took in this post deserve to be reprimanded…
Anyway… nobody behind the computer screen can force the fellow member to say or confess anything, moreover if it will cause damage.

Moderators, would you PLEASE LOCK this thread?!?!

[Mani59]

Hi all,

Can you all please be respectful to each other whatever your views.

Please refresh yourselves of the forum rules, specifically the ones in the below thread:

Thanks, Mani

Sorry to hear about the car OP (if you come back)

I do agree with Gazelle 100%. Even google maps gives you directions with a turn leaving the boat ramp.

The long straightaway is less than a 1/4 mile (1275 feet). The sudden turn is a regular sweeping 90 degree on a double center line marked 2-lane country road coming from a boat ramp. While possibly not signed, it was well-lit by a bright street light right over the turn as is shown in the OP's original post.

[Fliplegend]

Just want to add that nobody forced OP to post. Anything you put on the internet, that's a choice you make. If you are old enough to own a BMW, you should already know how the internet behaves. Don't get your panties in a bunch because in the end, you didn't have to post it or he could have just asked about bumper replacement questions without giving the whole backstory. Getting mad because you got called out isn't going to make the situation better.

I wonder where the stereotype comes from that BMW owners are assholes...

Just let a man enjoy and drive his car like he stole it. He crashed it, swallows it up and is looking for advice. Don't be a self-righteous jerk.

Why the moderator posted this and did not lock this thread is beyond my comprehension.

I genuinely believe that the stereotype comes from the fact that BMW's models start at slightly above the average car price and go all the way to multiples of the average car price. People are more likely to notice/get angry at a jerk in an expensive car compared to the clapped out 2006 Altima tearing past you at Mach Jesus.

Dude blamed the road. What part of that do you not get?

IDGAF if he blamed the spaghetti monster in the sky... What is the added value of being judgemental and flaming a guy who crashed his car and who asks a question about replacement parts?

We've already gone over this.

I responded to you regurgitating that he blamed the road. Something that had been mentioned multiple times. Interesting turn of events that now supposedly I am the one digging up skeletons.

Boohoo he blamed the road!! Let's all get our torches and pitchforks!!!

He says while getting out his torches and pitchforks for some metaphysical argument about something that concluded weeks ago.

Dude!! Are you really that big of an idiot?! You’re the one who came back into the thread and started commenting again after the thread had been quiet for five days.

The moderator posted a link to the rules. Just for the fun of it, I clicked the link and reread the rules since its been a long time since I'd done that.

After refreshing my understanding of the forum rules, I took the time to read back through each and every post in this thread.

Many of the posts were sympathetic to the OP and nobody was disrespectful to the OP that I could see. There were those who called me and others out for judging the OP and trying to get him to admit he was partly at fault. For that, I am surely guilty. The OP took zero blame and provided proof that the accident was his own fault. It's very hard to pass up commenting on that. But, in no time was I, or any other poster, overly disrespectful (meaning more so than virtually any other off-topic thread), and nobody called the OP names. Mostly, we felt bad that he hurt his car, we were glad that he was okay, and we could not reconcile the difference between what he said happened and the photos he himself provided. Bottom line: I did see a single post that abused the stated rules of this forum, except for the OP himself!

Here are a few of his choice comments: Why is it that guys online feel the need to validate their opinions using knowledge they do not possess?

You sound ridiculous.

Grow up man.


Now the Fucking bimmer forum is full of accident scene investigators. I give up. I'll go fuck my self. I hate the car enthusiast community. I really do. It's a shame. ….
And then there are the few inbreds that just over ride the good.



So, if the thread is to be shut down for rule breaking, then that's on the OP as far as I can see. The rest of us were actually sympathetic to his situation, glad he was okay, and asking questions related to the difference between his story and his photos.

Sorry, but you reread after the moderator "cleaned" about 1/2 dozen of posts from individual(s) that we're saying all sort of things and disrespectful not only to the OP, but other members as well. So your view is not complete of the whole list of events here.
Again… nobody here has to confess or tell things he doesn't want. Not sure when the BMW forum became a place for judgement and crime scene investigation.

We share the same. Don't you think?
However so far you posted 11, while I did 5.
Seems you beat the horse much more.
