Someone is not very happy with their BMW in Germany
Lord knows there's few frustrations quite as powerful as a car that doesn't work as advertised. Even in our quality-promoting epoch, there's still a hefty business for lemon law attorneys around the United States; in other countries where consumer laws have not advanced so far, those frustrations can fester. At least that's the story told by a man who hauled his 2008 BMW M6 coupe to the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany last week and started taking batting practice with a sledgehammer.
According to an account in Frankfurt's edition of Bild as tracked down by Carscoops, Italian marble dealer Hadi Pourmohseni staged the demonstration while claiming BMW and his Italian dealer had been unable to fix numerous defects after four years of rigmarole and finger-pointing with the 507-hp car that cost 120,000 euros — $160,000 — new. Hadi said along with a letter to BMW, he brought the car to Frankfurt during the largest European auto show of the year so that he and co-batter Thomas Brunner could publicly unleash some pent-up frustration, noting that a lawsuit over the car would have taken up to seven years. (That's Pourmohseni in the suit and axe below.)

What I don't get is the owner could of parted out the car in pieces than destroy the vehicle.... I bet those wheels and tires could fetch a nice coin as well as all the other parts of the car that he took a sledgehammer too .... Fender, doors, windows etc.. are all worth something to someone  I guess the guy has more money than common sense  |

I would love to take a sledgehammer to all the BMWs around here.How come they do not come with turn signals? BMW is touted as "The driver's car" in their ads,but most of the ones here,are driven by people with no common courtesy or any driving skills.I guess the attitude is attached to the bank account.Money does not always equal intelligence. |

You are a hundred percent right on that one. Around here it is those with the Mercedes and the other high price cars that people show no common sense with. They drive like they own the road and then when they get in an accident they get sue happy. |
