Guessing the new owners hired a social marketing firm....maybe offered $$ in discounts to "those spreading the word"...
Hope they ask for their $$$ back....
If the poster is the new owner...
You should be honest, and say it...
Just saying...
Not exactly an organic advertising method...feels slimy.
Funny...
Years ago when I was in Atlanta Georgia, I stopped by waymotorworks....
Made a nice little post for them on the local mini group....so almost passable you are a " local m7 person", but one that can give DISCOUNTS?!
My post was not nearly as polished, or PR like...heck discounts?! Lol.
If your intentions are honest, and you are pulling for the local folks, great, but one tip...
Lead by example...SHOW or tell how much you love the parts and why they are better...
The " buy, buy, buy" and "discount" if you pm me sounds kinda like marketing without paying.....
With the internet....it takes any user here moments to find the m7 website if we want too...same for any mini owner...
Ok where to begin.....no this is not a press release...yes they may have sold some questionable items in the past but that was with the old owners. The new owner is fully committed to providing quality parts. He will even admit that they had a bad rap and are trying to turn things around.
No I am NOT the owner just a customer who likes their parts and wants to see them do well so they will continue to be around in the future. And not once did I mention that I can get you a discount. All i said was I could get you pricing, I live less than an hour from their shop.
Like I have said before they know that they have A LOT of work to do overturning the reputation the previous owner left them with but they are working non stop to do so. As far as intercoolers go they are getting the new ones from Wagner Tuning, which should speak for itself, and fussing about canards or splitters is like fussing about a strut bar.....there are only a limited number of ways to do it....i don't hear you fussing because AEM uses the same shape filter as K&N?
Just because I made the comment "tell them Jonathan sent you" again is no indication I have any stake in the company. I just wanted them to know I was out here trying to help them out and spreading the word. They were a good group of guys and i enjoyed talking to them.
So from the looks of it noone has had an experience with the new ownership that took over in 2013? Correct? Everyone is basing their opinions on the company pre 2013 before Mark took over. That's like saying that Bush is responsible for the Affordable Healthcare Act....It did not happen under his administration so it isn't his issue good or bad......There are even a few pieces that M7 are warranting for life...if their products were inferior why would they warranty them for life?
And as I have stated before I met them for the first time earlier this week. I was in the area of their shop and gave them a call to inquire about a product and asked if I could stop by
At the end of the day I simply cannot support a company that counterfeited parts off a small independent guy because they could. If/when the new and supposedly improved M7 wants to distance itself from that, and so far they haven't, then we can talk.
brr
