BBS E88s by Team Schirmer Parts GmbH

[Cglhut]

Hey Brett,

I understand the E88 is literally your IG profile picture and this hits at the core, but none of what you’ve been doing on Facebook, nor here, is anything acceptable.

If you want to compete, do so in the proper way, offer your own promotion & GB elsewhere on the forum. I personally won’t care and neither will Schirmer.

You joined the forum simply to litter a GB thread from a competitor’s brand.

I will again correct your false insinuations about Schirmer.

- They offer various specs that do not require fender pulling
- All 90 + Schirmer GTs use spacers and are extensively used on the Ring. You, yourself, sell multiple BBS Motorsport wheels that require spacers.
- The bolt issue is heavily documented in Germany by Schirmer over decades of experience: something you simply don’t have.
- The pricing offered in early access was better than anything ever offered in the US for E88s. 10x members got that price.

I am actually thinking of offering the wheels right back at early access pricing due to your attempts at painting Schirmer offerings as inferior to yours.

What you’ve been attempting to do by seeping doubt into everyone’s mind is of bad taste.

I’d appreciate - and so would Schirmer, that you stick to your own postings.

At the end of the day, the community can choose the product they prefer from the source they prefer without vendors hijacking each other’s thread.

Ohhh, I would be very interested if you offered the wheels at early access pricing! PM me so we can talk, I’m still interested in a flatbottom steering wheel as well!

We won't be doing a group buy that converts a custom product (made to order in perfect specs for each person's car setup), into a one-size-fits all product that rubs rear fenders.

I would expect a reaction from Schirmer if I did a group buy in Germany with the sole purpose of undercutting them and working around their country's distribution channels (keep in mind you are working around not only US retailers, but also BBS USA). I of course would not do that. There should be no surprise here.

Schirmer's has multiple fitments that don't rub the rears. Those fitments are TUV approved for road use all across Europe. If you keep stating lies about Schirmer, there will be other ways to deal with you.

I'm losing track of your arguments Brett, I thought we were the same price as you are or more after duties & shipping - why are you doing this to yourself?

You couldn't sell in Germany even if you tried, stop kidding yourself. You've vastly overestimated the value of your brand and you're getting trumped at your own game.You don't own the US market, no matter what you tell yourself at night.

You made the E88s a customizable products in the US as it doesn't have road certification requirements to create your very own synthetic market centered around scarcity to maintain higher prices using ridiculously long times and behind-the-curtains offsets.

I don't play up to anyone's interest but the community. I'm glad you've made it clear you sit on the other side of that fence.

Yes sir! Since Brett's inflammatory comments, Schirmer is motivated to support the Connex further. I am working on a new pricing package for E88s and extended to more members.

The beef is real

If it means lower prices and increased accessibility to great wheels, I’m all for it. A little market shakeup is never a bad thing.

Lack of competition hurts us all. That applies to EuroConnex - I could only hope someone tries his own version. We'd learn from each other's mistakes.

Many other members have since launched group buys on BMW M forums using the same processes I used to with Google Forms & Sheets, even down to the post layout.

I didn't care, I bought in actually for a GTS armrest delete.

Why?

Because that was added value to the community, and my own personal build. I don't depend on EuroConnex to put food on the table.

I miss the threads on leather rejuvenation. Jeebus those were hot.

[sc_tr0jan_m3]

The more group buys available to the community, the better. Love me a set of e88’s.

By the way do they do a staggered 19" setup for the E46 M3?
