Want a quick chuckle? Website using my photo to promote front lip

I recently purchased a 2018 340i, after having a 2018 330i from 2018 to earlier this year. I have been searching everywhere for a front lip for my new car, including using Google Images to see similar cars with front lips I may like. During the process, I stumble upon a photo of my old 330i in my old messy garage, that I took a few years ago...

The kicker, I took the photo for the sole purpose of showing an eBay seller that the front lip they sold me, which was advertised to fit a 2018 F30 non-M Sport front bumper, indeed DID NOT FIT said vehicle. (2018 F30 Base bumper is different than older versions)

I am not sure if that eBay seller is now this website, but they are using a photo showing a lip and a car it doesn't fit on, to help sell said lip

I hope that seller is paying you to use that photo. If not, you better email them.

Hit up the BBB and have them take that photo down. Not only is it false advertising, but they are using your picture without permission.


It is pretty funny though.

Yeah that's pretty common. Ikonmotorsports was using some pictures of my car that I posted on this forum to sell one of their products on ebay. I hadn't even bought that product from them either.
