You come into to thread hoping to see some leaks or new information about the new 7er, but instead it’s just nonsense. Use the ignore button and save us the time of scrolling through BS posts.

Agreed but we shouldn’t be lied to by a person who acts like a BMW insider here. As members of this site we deserve honesty. This user has repeatedly lied and nothing happens about it. Is that fair to us fans ? Do you agree with comming her abs being lied to ?

I've been on several forums where automotive execs have appeared before they were in leadership roles. There's no incentive for important company personnel to participate so it's natural for them to discontinue their membership. If anything, there's a disincentive because your inputs can cause professional consequences.
Scott has contradicted himself or overstated his insight into future product many times to the point where it's comical. No one asked him to behave this way; he continues to do so unprovoked. I do believe he works professionally somewhere in the BMW ecosystem but not as close as he sometimes intimates.

Exactly. I used to get excited when Scott said something about the upcoming cars cause I really thought he was an insider and had actually seen the cars, but the more I spent time here I came to the conclusion that he was just making things up and pretending to be someone else who he’s clearly not. We need a real information not made up bs.
So yeah I feel like that post just proved my point. I will not be talking about Scott any further in the future. I just want to talk about the G70 and see the f.ing leaks already !!! LOL

For years we used to think that "SCOTT" (inset number) was part of BMW's creative marketing (CM) team. We learned to take his feedback with a "grain of salt" as sometimes CM will employ counter-intuitive methods to generate attention and interest in their brands and products. Maybe the motivation is to add a post from time to time, solely to get us involved and discussing the subject again?

I was waiting for someone to bring this up. BMW has announced worldwide headcount reductions over various years, with the most recent major, newsworthy reduction occurring in 2020. I also know BMW has cut their consulting budget in various areas such as the U.S. sales channel in recent years.
Do we really think their "creative marketing team" is still funding a headcount to post on forums which are otherwise known as a dying form of communication and influence? Social media mediums have quickly and significantly passed forums in terms of traffic/influence in the last decade. I just can't believe someone would be paying Scott to do this in this age, especially when all he does is post vaguely and doesn't even post information that drives traffic directly to anything BMW currently offers.
His paying job may be to creatively reach consumers and would-be consumers, but I seriously doubt participation on this forum is what his manager is paying him to do. If so, that sounds like a poor return on investment. Just my thoughts...

Lets be real here all of us and honest @SCOTT27 has nothing to do with BMW. He is just spoiling the BMW threads with lies and Misinformation which i can not understand why its allowed on here.
If you want to listen to real and informative inofrmation which we all love to get for any brand then when it cimes to BMW look for ENI posts they are very informative and no BS.

Be careful lads, PanterroR will be along shortly to tell you all he wants to "spit in your faces" for daring to question Scott's motivation for being here. On second thoughts, of course he won't. It's just me he says that to, despite the fact that other people think the same as me. I've only recently decided to post again after that incident at the beginning of December. It affected me quite badly and caused a great deal of upset to me personally. There's a line which shouldn't be crossed and he went WAY beyond it. Imagine being THAT angry about something which wasn't even directed at you.
@Serpens @rollo
Scott has long since been outed as a Walter Mitty character. In case you don't know what that means, it's a "fantasist" basically. The department he claimed to work for never existed. We know this because GENUINE insiders who've since become prominent, like BMWBLOG, have confirmed this. These groups never existed ten or so years ago, so we didn't know any different. Why he still continues to come to this place after being uncovered, I do not know.

Piping in, I could suggest simply engaging the "Ignore Member" option. It works. Those who have been a source of personal annoyance and diminish the constructive, educational, genuinely informative "forum experience" are simply flicked away like pesky gnats and then quickly banished into oblivion.
As for the member being ridiculed here: I cannot recall him/her ever having launched personal assaults (much less appallingly vicious attacks) on fellow contributors. Certainly, his/her posting of silly (at times patently imbecilic) memes can be irritating. But I question whether that warrants the vitriol directed at him/her. And...the "taking with generous portions of salt" may be the most prudent, most relaxing method in assessing his/her specific product input.

No, nobody deserved that and far worse things like you did and i still have the same opinion about you, even worse, so please do not mention my name and, of course, you know what else - FO!

And nor did I deserve it. I never mentioned your name, and nor was I even talking to you when you told me you wanted to "spit in my face". What you said to me was disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself. It's not the behaviour of a normal human being and you clearly have anger management issues. What you said has affected me quite badly since the beginning of December.
Lots of people have the same opinions on Scott, and have said so independently of me, as demonstrated in this thread, yet you never comment on them. You're obsessed with me because of what happened over ten years ago. I don't have an issue with you, beyond your quite disgusting insults.
It's Scott's choice to come here and pretend he's an insider, and he's been found out. So f***ing deal with it.

I think we all should move past this issue and talk about the G70 instead. I was iffy about the claims that Scott was making and I expressed my opinions on the topic and now it’s over. I’m sorry if I offended anyone or caused some sort of unnecessary drama. I just felt like it was necessary.

Good point, well presented.
Now, the G70. I for one am looking forward to the reveal, and I'm really glad there haven't been any leaks so far.
