No warnings here. Just waiting for the dust to settle so we know exactly what happened here.

Don't we all...

But still if it was me who had bassicly put my everything, into building the best bmw site in the world, blood, sweat & tears, lots of money and millions of man hours into it, I would be VERY PISSED at those two and would hunt them down. I mean E90 post is now even mentioned in mags etc, its big time for you (admins). You don't need those two f.... messing it up for you.

I mean surely E90Post stands for the most reliable and best BMW site on the whole web.

I mean shit guys it's your reputation. I stick to what I said.. Murder them.

Oops there I go again.

Wooosa!!!

Admins keep up the great work and show no mercy. It's your site after all. (Keep the bigtime in mind$$$$)

I think you're correct. I heard BMW AG was pissed off big time over the "leaked" E90 brochure. You guys may/may not remember it, but it was in german, and caused BMW AG to move things ahead. They were REALLY mad over that one. Wouldn't surprise me if they monitor this and other BMW sites looking for people leaking too much info. There's a difference between feeding speculation and full blown disclosure.

IMO, we all know the following without Tine/Speedfreaks help:

#1 Basic look of the E92
#2 New powerplant (Euro will probably get a turbo, NA will probably get more displacement). We already knew BMW had to do something about the HP on their 3'er so either development shouldn't be construde as "earth shattering".


The real question is. If we're getting a 3.5 liter for the 335, why is it only making 310 hp when the 3.2 liter in the E46M3 makes 333hp (US). Lower redline? Dif software?

Actually the leaked document was from BMW Slovenia and it wasnt in german.

It was leaked by the printers preparing the document for print

I was really debating whether to cancel my current 330i order for two
weeks because of these 2 jokers. I'm already so annoyed, just imagine If i had cancelled the order. :mad: :mad:

Now i don't care what's coming when. I am just going to ENJOY my new car and not care about anything until theres an OFFICIAL announcement from GERMANY.

NEVER ever, believe what you hear in a forum, if you see it in print at BMW then you'll know!

I dont know that Speedfreak! is invovled. Obviously the admins haven't banned him for a reason, maybe they checked out the PM's that Tine said occured between them.

Apparently, Tine has been banned here at e90post now, but not at bimmerfest. SpeedFreak has been NOT banned at either site.

This is a complete LIE.

I have not been in collusion with Tine to Punk you people.

This is an obvious attempt to discredit me and to get me banned... Tine is a LIAR... plain and simple.

Tine has sent me a few PM's in the past... regarding information that he claimed to be getting. I kept them all... here is what he has sent me:

Speed, E92 press release is coming on Jan 17th

But let's keep that discrete for now.

This time is for real.

Man just can't cut the hand which feeds him.
Quote:
Hi.

I started to doubt more and more in the E92 presentation day: January 17.

Why?

On that day BMW Sauber F1 Team will reveal their car. I doubt they'll do it on a day when E92 is presented. Also NAIAS is still on till January 22.
January 17 seems very unlikely. We'll see.

But it happend before that internal BMW memo said a press release was out on day X, and that X day actually meant when press kit had been sent to media not the media appearance. And the press kit is sent approx. a week before embargo ends.

What a drama!
Quote:
I got a hint Mr. Heier, Mr. Ganal, and Mr. Purves are showing E92 3er Coupe & E93 3er Cabrio to BMW NA management these days.

Meaning the two cars are in Woodcliff right now. If you really have a source there let him confirm.

Regards, Tine
Quote:
Hi.

I've been told that some BMW internal memo use label "335i NA" and "N54 NA" - to differ North American (specificly US) version of 335i / N54 from European one, since the N54 specs will be slightly different in US version.

Your source claiming there will be 3.5L NA engine is possibly being misled by that label - understanding 335i NA features 3.5L naturaly aspirated engine.

Just to think about!

Your source is correct on all other matters, but dead wrong on the 335i engine issue.

Regards, Tine
And that's it. I responded to him... politely... a couple of times. Mostly an attempt to be friendly... but that is all we ever discussed.

I'm sure the admins can verify this information. I am in NO WAY connected to this LIAR.

That won't leave a good first impression on new members/readers.

I agree... this is a travesty. I have to shut down and go to work... I'll pick up here and try do my part to set the record straight as soon as I get a chance.

I assure you that everything I have posted has been 100% sincere and honest. At no point was I ever involved in an attempt to mislead or punk any one.
