Not at all. Ranski is doing what good forums do and highlight things for the benefit of the majority of members. Members express their thoughts and feelings in different ways and to different levels.
Won't be getting deleted anytime soon and the forums been around a long time and likely to continue.

It's too busy being angry at hard top sellers
stuartinzg said:
and again, I never said it did.
However, this is an open forum, and he's welcome to say what he thinks.
I didn't see any threats or slanderous remarks (all actual points made in the original post appear to have been valid, disregarding the name calling, which is just opinion).
If you don't like it, the log out button's up there on the top.

Wow, just when you thought this thread was over - it's back with a $hitter follow up than Taken 3. This is like an intellectual gift that just keeps on giving.
Ranski's first post on this thread was commenting about the price of the item. It wasn't a friendly heads-up to other forum members that this hardtop came with covers originally.
Secondly, why should you avoid those that split and sell separately? Everyone knows that a hardtop with lock covers, stand etc sell for a premium - because of how scarce the lock covers are. So if somebody decides to buy this hardtop on it's own, at whatever price, that's their prerogative. Nobody is making anyone buy it, but comments like that could make people think that it is the norm for covers to be sold with hardtops, when in reality the opposite is more likely, ergo detracting potential buyers.
Coming out with insults just made him look like he had a an axe to grind, showed lack of maturity, and was simply not constructive. There is a time, and a rather humorous thread, on this forum to be immature in - this is not it.
Finally, I refer you to the classifieds policy:
"Section 3 - Conduct
Any person(s) found disrespecting other members' posts or products will be warned and their post promptly removed. If the individual(s) fail(s) to heed this warning, they will be banned."
This thread has clearly disrespected dperiera's products, yet hasn't been removed - let alone promptly. So actually, if you don't like it, you don't have to accept it and log out - these guidelines are in place so members shouldn't, and thankfully rarely, have to read such churlish tripe.

Well said Moheddine.
well well, stuartinzg and Moheddine are doing a double team and it seems have a shine for me... I've never felt so popular
I stand by what I said, by which its bad form to split items which should come as one, it just comes across as too delboy for me. Worth noting I didn't comment on the hardtop stand nor cover, so not sure why you two are waffling on about on that topic
PS stuartinzg, that remark you must have ferociously typed out the other evening, I quote
"embarrassed yourself to the whole community and now it's stored on the Internet until it's deleted by the moderators or the forum disappears.
Come on... i take it you haven't read other posts on this an other forums? Maybe have a wander over to the immigration post? you'll have a right jolly reading some of those comments.
Anyway... I will leave it there. If you do find you still have some anger to vent just discuss it with me over a coffee at the next Z4 meet

Correct. third post explains that they should come together.Moheddine said:
Everyone HERE knows that, now.Moheddine said:
I didn't know that when I bought my hardtop (with covers and bag), for a non-premium price of around £500 last year.Moheddine said:
Comments like that help to illustrate that people are deliberately separating a single item, to make much more money for it.
Moheddine said:
This thread isn't a classified thread for the item(s) though is it?
Those refer to someone posting on/about a classified ad listed on this site.
Ranski clearly links to an eBay ad, not a forum ad.
(joke, it really doesn't need a reply).
)Just to note, I may be one of a few forum members who bought his hardtop direct from BMW UK. I still have the invoice, and the covers were not bought separately. Nor was the bag/cover, the handbook or the tool - they all came as a single package (in a mahooosive packing case). The only addition I bought was the stand.
So, direct from the manufacturer, these items are not split.

to round off Markeg's above post and wrap up the thread, an FYI for all potential hardtop owners
This is what the side covers and fitting tool look like, which non controversially should come with any hardtop

It looks so unfinished without the covers- never fancied a hardtop but if I did I would not buy one without the covers.

Ranski, no one disagrees with your point - it does look a lot better. Thanks for taking the effort to show the before and after. But what seems to be difficult to get across to you is that there are better ways to articulate your point in a more "friendly" and "community" style. We're all Z owners here after all.
You don't need to call fellow forum members arsewipes and/or arseholes to give a clear explanation as you did above.
