Michael Essa BMW 335 Nearing Completion [SNAPSHOTS]
Posted by Wrecked Magazine on 10 Mar 2010 at 03:45 pm | Tagged as: Formula D, Michael Essa, Spy Shots
The BMW is coming together quite nicely and I just love the wheel selection! The car doesn’t look to far off from completion but wonder how much seat time Michael will be getting before the season as well. We cannot wait to see more updates of this machine.
Mike Essa for president…this car is going to have a killer presence on and off the track. Good luck M.Essa w the season
just plain sick!!
Orange wheels… I don’t particularly care for them if the body stays black, but I’m almost sure the car gets painted by Long Beach.
But if he pulls them off he will be my hero.
You should probably quote the actual source this came from, not some random guys flickr that just stole the pics.

That’s mike’s build thread.
And tons of people have built threads over there.
the rims are my favorite part.. but that 335 is so hott
http://Tri-statedrift.blogspot.com... a new local (nj pa ny)drift blog started by me as a school project but I sort of got into it lol.. and to proper source… if they didnt post it here I would have never seen it and at least they gave him credit
Thats funny. I remember Mike actually posting this build them on his site. Being the Original build thread.

@Proper Source AKA (drifting.com)
We at Wrecked Magazine strive to be as transparent as possible with our fans and community on where we find our information.
Most people in the industry are not and we make an effort to do our best. Your site would be included with that section so I don’t think you have any right to come here and attack us.
Now the Flickr account I cited is where I FOUND THE PICTURES of the BMW and hence that is where the credit went. He has been a tipster/source of ours for sometime and I thank him for his diligence and work.
If your so concerned about your intellectual property then perhaps you should protect it better or look into copyright infringement laws. You are protected pretty well and major companies like Flickr (being owned by Yahoo!) well protect your copyright very easily.
Now if your done trying to shamelessly promote your forum on my website you can head over to the legal section (http://www.wreckedmagazine.com/legal.php) where it clearly states how to deal with a copyright infringement on this website (Section 6).
I pasted it below so you can learn how to deal with these situations in the future to get results:

It is very unfortunate you feel you rights have been violated but I have no way of telling where content is created, just where I found it.

Great work on this beemer so far. 2010 is going to be epic! Now let’s see a match between Essa and his BMW VS Ueno and his Toyota powered BMW.
I like it, not usually a huge Bimmer fan, but hey, this little car looks good and solid!
The determination and focus that Mike has displayed since putting his sights on competing in FD have been(at the least)inspiring. I’ve had a pleasure to work with the man and am always impressed by his work ethic, knowledge and drive to always better himself along with his machine. Hats off to you Mike, I’m sure that with this vehicle you will finally have the tool that you’ve needed to get on that podium! Handle it son!
