Yes, this very much has to do with Lowen. There have been many problems with him on BMW message boards. Please see my reply to the end of this thread.

http://forum.bmwboard.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76

This displays more information against "Lowen"

Thanks,
Trent

From a practical view, none of this makes sense. someone's saying that Alowen is this kid's ebay name but a search for sellers by that name brings up a person that's never sold BMW parts.

The company "Precision Auto" hired him? but then didn't pay him? It sounds like there's some misdoings on all sides. This Lowen Design character sounds shady but the dealings around all the stories are equally so.

I guess i don't know, don't care but this stuff happens all the time. I'd like to know his real ebay ID if anyone has it.

The other thing, on the E30sport forum link is that the owner of precision auto said that "he didn't take credit cards? and then that he didn't want to sell to customers he didn't know" what's that all about? It sounds like some responsibility is being diverted inappropriately.

Lowen doesn't take credit cards - He only takes Pay Pal. Anyway, it makes sense if you realize he was being a middleman by advertising stuff on his site that he didn't stock and taking orders to be filled by someone else. He'd receive the order and have the other people fill it and take some profit for himself. The problem comes when he can't receive payment directly and tells these guys he's going to give them someone else's credit card. That's not a good way to do business.

Taking Paypal is NOT the same as having a merchant credit card account. You can dispute false charges directly with the merchant with a credit card machine.
The link you refer to is when there were three members of Lowen Design, now there is just the one. He puts up a good front, showing pictures of hot cars, showing body shop pictures, showing show quality interiors, Showing good product shots. Just all of it is a lie. He does not work on his own cars. search the archives at Roadfly.com on the e30 and e30 M3 forums. He was 17 and talked about finding an Evo II M3 in his girlfriends garage. He hand formed a 5lb sheetmetal hood. He held a job as an engineer. He owned Jeremy Cannings e30 and bragged of doing the interior.

You people just seem reluctant to realize that he has talked this talk before. All lies, Proven. Do an internet search. Search on every website to do with BMW's. EVERY SINGLE TIME someone was foolish enough to defend him, they were let down. Kraig/Adam does not back up his wild claims.

I found a post by him making fun of a car as rice. That's hilarious, he had yellow speed paint all over his 318i and those chrome Pep Boy hubcaps.

For goodness sake, he blew the motor in that car because he forgot to add oil. Is this the advice you guys want? Becuase he will come back if you are complacent.

Something about this is so funny. Is he really 17? I visited the website. It's cool how the pics are all stolen. The one on the entrypage is "copyrighted" (yeah, right) and it's someone's car from Europe (notice blacked out tags)

Anyway, it's sad, Lowen, you could do things right and really start a business like others here have done, or you can completely ruin your name by continuing the status quo.
