So this pertains to the BMW 2002 group on facebook.

Today this guy posted his "newly finished" bmw 2002, same dude happens to have ripped off a number of people (including me, but not as bad as others).

Not that I'm hating on the chinese coilovers. I'd probably buy a set of BC's for a daily and see how they go.

You'd be better off doing what I did and buying adjusters, koni adjustable shocks and springs of your preferred rate. Cheaper than BCs? In my case yes, are Konis better than BCs shocks? My money says yes.

Just like a lot of the 'instagram models' you see flooding social media these days.

This is a fact. It's easy to go into "explore" and find a bunch of "instasloots" who look like 9's, then you come across someone you know and are like "wait, she doesn't even look anything like this."



If you saw the catuned coils and couldn't see that they were just another (more expensive) alibaba coilover, you might want to consider asking a trusted friend or family member to help you with important life decisions.

This is also different if you're sponsored by the retailer and get free stuff from them, as a few people on this forum are(or were?)

this idiot has an m5, probably because someone said it was tyte to own one.

gets a reckless driving charge, does not even have 40$ to his name, so parting
car to pay a lawyer lol

OMG the coilovers are re-branded??!?!?! Shocking. Never would have guessed.

Sucks for everyone involved. Lots of guys are just building IG cars these days... Look good on the internet, but in real life they're hacked up piles of shit.

If you search alibaba, you would recognise a lot of products from vendors. Heck, half of ebay is now chinese parts, that they just put clever names on like "Black Forest Industries"

Just to be clear - All my stuff is made by hand by me - but when I'm making it I pretend to be a small asian woman, so it all works out in the end.

Instagram - it's the internet with an even shorter attention span - and hookers. Lots and lots of hookers.

its true man, i wonder how many parents know their daughter is a instaHO

i had to grind like crazy for my 10k...


if your 16, blonde, etc 25k followers, 15 posts

And a majority of those 25k followers are mid 40's men with less than 100 followers and 1000 posts. Shit's creepy.

You talking about the shots from above so you only see boobs and the top of the Pear. Or in some cases - teapot.

It should be remembered that this is not true of everyone in that generation.

That's true, and why I qualified it with "essentially."

[roguetoaster]

Yep, although the unfortunate reality is that social media is essentially a necessity to get any attention from the millennial demographic.

It should be remembered that this is not true of everyone in that generation.

It's also a case of "we sell the cars the customer demands" versus "the manufacturer makes whatever it wants and you'll darn well buy it" and really depends on which side you examine the issue from. Basically, if providers of goods/services didn't start to utilize social media as cheap advertising would it thrive the way it has, and would people have just used the same old advertising sources they have for decades to find product information?

I don't get my generation.... Did you know searching is now considered a skill? Like going on google and looking up something is now a skill... Although that doesn't surprise me that much when you look at most of the questions asked on r3v FB.

But many of us learned how to use a card catalog, so how did we end up here? Maybe laziness, or perhaps it's the next stage of human development, off site information storage.
