getting sued by bmw again....

[slammin.e28]

We got a nasty letter from them because we had a picture of our shop area on the website. Over the BMW tech's tool box was a BMW roundel flag he'd won while working at the dealer. It wasn't even in the center of the pic, or obviously visible unless you looked real hard.

We also get letters from Porsche from time to time. Last one was because the owner of the shop had a pic of his Cayman S on the homepage of the site.

I'm waiting on BMW to send me a letter about my Roundel tattoo on my arm.....

He sold little bags of cocaine with the BMW logo on it. Now they're suing him.

At least they're period correct...

You need to give a much better explanation of the situation than you have.

im not sure i can repost the letters here that they sent because its a on going case

You can do whatever you want to with the letters that they sent you. Post them up online. You're under no obligation to BMW/the lawyers that sent these to you.

Also lawyers talk a lot of BS to scare people into bending to their will.

Does anyone else think the OP is either trolling or just trying to get exposure to his bolt business?

Pansy move on BMW's part if you aren't directly trying to profit off their logo or trying to appear affiliated with the company.
Ferrari is still the worst at this stuff.

no, it's smart on their part. they *have* to protect their trademark, or they will lose it.

I came here to post the exact same thing.

is "bimmer" trade marked?

[mikeedler]

over here in Germany it is crazy.
if you even use the word Hartge/ Ac Schnitzer, and co. in an Ebay auction for a non rig. part, you WILL receive a letter from lawyers telling you to pay approx.500-1000 euros and sign a contract stating you will never do it again or will be fined a ton of cash, or they will take you to court.

there is protecting your name/company(all good) and there is asshat lawyers just trying to make a dollar!
