    This is how I know I am old.

    We used to have a term for this video.

    When in the first minute you get the pose thing and dribble out "beemer". You lost me. Close window this just sux. Have respect for the brand and what ever net work is even considering this as a show. (I just think they are being very liberal in the dream spinning)

    Poseur or how ever you kids spell it--

    Like the concept, but should follow the pro 3 teams around.

      Needs more V8 swaps, pretty M3 stuff, racing content. Very cool concept, and it seemed nicely filmed

                This, it turned me off pretty much right away. I'm glad someone else has the same feeling towards these cars and wants more people to know about them, but this community is as great as it is because it's so tight-knit.

                  I agree with the "too similar to pawn stars" comments but I'm not sure how much of a show it would be without the buying and selling of parts.

                  If it does make it then I would probably end up watching it just because.

                          Video felt staged and just weird.

                          What was that at the car show? I laughed

                            I'll have to be honest. it's cool that they're trying to get attention to some of the old BMWs, but man, I was bored out of my mind after the first 10 minutes.

                            also I want to punch the kid with the blue E36 in the face. :p

                            more focus on the cars/mods would help a lot I think. he says "come see what we do", but watching the pilot, I don't know exactly what that is.

                              If this show somehow included some R3V drama/banter it would be AWESOME! Give Vlad his own segment. It would be similar to Sienfeld but with cars and classy language.

                                Not really a fan at all. Here's my 2 cents.

                                1. Stop trying to act so hard, no one is tuning in to see how cool you are.
                                2. It's not "Beamer" but you don't need to call it a "Bimmer" everytime either. It may be correct but we get it... you're mad cool bra.
                                3. Show more elaborate builds. Time lapse of cars that were nothing turned into something worth while and interesting.
                                4. Do segments with backgrounds about motorsports history and unique cars. ie Alpina, Hartge stuff, some art cars etc.
                                5. If you're into Autocross show the benefits of installing coilovers and compare and contrast tires, tire pressure and driving technique etc.
                                6. Talk to people about why they did what to there car and the process they went through.
                                7. Show us some interesting rare parts.
                                8. Do a segment on random fixes that some may not know how to do.
                                9. Keep people interested, don't pretend to be mad cool in the "scene" cause 99% of those people are pretty sad.
                                10. Highlight craftsmanship.
