    HorsepowerFreaks out of business

    Just heard about this. This is huge loss to the BMW community. Friendly Chris got robbed by another employee for lots of money and he just could not recover..

    That's the official story. Fact is that it doesn't add up. You don't stay in business for two years after losing $200k and fold up like this simply because you couldn't get the insurance company to cover it. Not to mention that I'd bet they've sent at least that much on shop cars in that time.

      was told this really sketchy story by a couple of e46 guys last friday on how they were really screwing people around them.
      this is most likely self inflicted

        Wow bummer. They put out some pretty incredible cars over the years.

              They've been on their way out for a while now. I have a feeling they will come back under a new name.

              Anyone else remember TorqueFreaks? lol

                It was a bad situation made worse by poor managerial choices. Good luck to them but I am sure they'll be back just under a different name.
