BimmerForums does not endorse illegal racing.

This forum is for the telling of Kill Stories, racing stories from the street or track, etc.

This forum is not for "speculation" or "what if" posts. Posts such as that belong either in the individual model forum of the BMW involved, or the Off Topic Forum.

As a general guideline, this forum is for Kill Stories involving BMWs, as this is a BMW enthusiast's site. Some posts not involving BMWs may get towed to the Off Topic Forum.

Please refrain from cross posting Kill Stories from another website as that has the potential to lead to site wars, flame-fests, and trolling.

Also, simply posting links to videos is not really a Kill Story, and will likely be better off placed in the particular model forum, or maybe the Off Topic Forum.

Please only post stories that you yourself were involved in, not "my friend's sister's cousin's boyfriend's raced this guy" type of stories. Most stories spawn a discussion, and the author should be directly involved in the story in order to participate in that discussion. Friend's or other people's stories will get towed or locked.

As this forum is located in the Main Forums part of BimmerForums, please refrain from using profanity in your posts here. Many members scan the site here while at work, and we have site sponsors to consider, as well.

(The Off Topic Forum has a warning posted about containing such language, and profanity is not as much an isssue there, as a result).

In the Main Forums, be a little creative and exercise your vocabulary some, you can think of other ways to express yourself than using profanity.

Also, we've had some complaints about post-whoring here in the Kills Forum via the brief "Nice Kill" post. Do us a favor, try to construct at least a sentence or a small paragraph when responding to a post, it shows some thought on your part. Otherwise, the "Nice Kill" and "+1" posts could get deleted.

Lastly, as a tie-in to the "Respect-Respect-Respect" Announcement parked above: Name-calling, insults, personal attacks, and flames will not be tolerated in the Kill Stories Forum.

Members can debate and argue over any point they want, provided they do not violate the rules in doing so. A refresher on the Rules that you all agreed to when you signed up here is linked here:

How one handles criticism is just as important as how one presents a point of contention or debate. Keep it civil, keep in clean, and remember we're all car enthusiasts here, so respect one another and have fun posting.
