Help Marcus Come To His Senses

[Oli77]

By now we have all read Marcus’ email about being BMW-less. That little part of his brain that hosted his ZHP-centric pleasure center is going to be morphing really soon. All he will have left are the memories of an absolutely perfect car, a beautifully-shaped body, proportionate lines, an immaculate center console, an ultimate driving machine with a wonderful smell to boot.

So let each of us write one reason, one simple fact, that will help him stay “ein Bayerische Motoren Werke icon”.

Mine is easy:

Cause you are Mr. ZHP Marcus.

Because Zippy is gonna take out yer knee caps.

Guys, if you do not know what Oli is referring to, I would advise you to read the email I sent out last night.

[danewilson77]

Thought this was just a thread to list some reasons. Just kinda for fun...no?

I think it's going to be difficult to keep this thread on topic. I am going to split it up. Good idea, DW.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

There are two threads on this issue. One deals with what you guys are going to do to make me come to my senses. The other thread is where we discuss the reasons, etc., for selling it in the first place.

You can find the other thread here: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?4076-Marcus-is-right-for-selling-the-ZHP

[Oli77]

Merging sounds good to me. Threads were 10 minutes apart but were in response to your email.

Hmmm, things are evolving. Not sure we are on target but its kinda fun.

Perhaps someone can write us a song using these lyrics and we can play it at the campfire (and make the boss cry).

You'll soon realize that the OCD level will only exponentially rise with a 930, so you'll be more mentally stressed.

^ I got that Botond, translation- If Marcus barely drove the ZHP and was worried about parking lot ding with it just imagine how paranoid he will be with a 930.

My question is what will you actually drive if you do get that paranoid, just sayin, I am guilty of not driving my ZHP enough.

Dane, Keith, move these comments to the other thread when get a chance.

Having two threads has now officially confused me. lol


Still not quite getting the purpose; what does "ein Bayerische Motoren Werke icon" mean? I didn't realize I was going off topic... :dunno

Roger. Will do in a bit.

[Oli77]

What simple sentence would you tell Marcus to entice him to keep being a BMW driver is what I meant.

Sorry if I have confused us all.

We could just get rid of the thread. It doesn't have the traction of the other one.

[aurelius]

Because I'll give him an insider deal on my E30 M3. Which really ought to be in SoCal anyhow.

Which reminds me: shortly after buying it, I had plans to keep it at a friend's house in L.A. Unfortunately, just like an Angeleno, he couldn't stand the empty spot in his garage and bought a 2nd car.

[Oli77]

You may have come to the battle too late Aurelius. He already bought the car and is just making us waaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiit.

Because Botond will no longer be your pal.

A little part of my brain would like to think that this thread and its convoluted suggestions have helped Marc come to his senses and stick to the brand name he so cherishes.

Congrats on your new X5 Boss!

He'll still be Pal. He just won't be mine. Yep. See what you did there.

Thank you for your support BP.

Yeah, I'd say this thread worked. We have mad persuasion skillz.

[billschusteriv]

Now we just need a thread with pictures and list of upcoming mods.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I'm writing up my story of how this all came down.

It should be posted shortly.
