CUPS Group Buy

No discount on cups, no TD.
What are they going to show in the road-story video ?
How well you can commute in Munich traffic with a CSL on cup tyres ?


EDIT : I am very tempted to come with one of my other cars.

You tell them Alex, that will show them.

In general, I am as serious as it gets.
I am very annoyed because I see an event that would be so amazing, but all the efforts are done by shimmy and the members of this community.

I fail to understand why BMW and Michelin did not help to make the trackday happen.
We are customers that spend so much money for these cars (and our other BMWs) and they do not want to please us.
I have mentioned a few times, that outside of the UK there is no warranty for our CSLs and when something breaks, we pay from our pocket.
I struggle to give more to BMW than I receive.
I see a perfect opportunity for BMW / Michelin for advertisement and us getting very little in return.

Last but not least, I am personally very annoyed with all the time-wasters that put up their names for the trackday and didn't honor their commitment.
I personally cancelled another event so as I can make the Salzburgring event.
I was planning to setup my suspension in Salzburgring, but this is not going to happen.
For me it's not so easy to attend a trackday since there is no racetrack in the country that I live.

At this point and while being very upset, I don't see why I should not come with my X5, or Z4 or Z3.

At the end of the day Alex, peoples lives are more important than doing a trackday at salzburgring and Im sure Shimmy is used to people letting him down, being in the industry he is in.

Shimmy has made a great effort to organise this, and at the end of the day its a club get together. BMW, Michelin etc etc joining in is at best a bonus, it was never a guarantee.

Im sure lots are disappointed, as are you, but just have fun and stop focusing on the negatives and what is not happening. It will be a hoot no matter what you guys all do.

How embarrassing is that for Michelin - cars turning up on other manufacturer's tyres because they reneged on the deal :smt079 !

Indeed :banghead: ... I was just looking on Camskills and noticed FALKENS FK452s are on a really good offer at the moment :whistle:

As much as it pains me to do so , I have to agree with Alex on this occasion...

I'm not saying that you won't have a great time, but I feel Michelin have definitely let the side down.

They had an ideal opportunity to set something up so that the forum peeps could take advantage of bulk buying trade discounts - a win win for everyone concerned, but due to what can only be described as price fixing, has washed their hands of the situation.

Maybe one of the "Legal Heads" on here could kindly remind Michelin "Price Fixing" is highly illegal :whistle:
