Happened last week but I wanted to make sure I posted something on this. If it wasn’t for Richard Hamann, there’d be no “tUNINGwERKS”, no WheelPower, hell – the golden years of the BMW aftermarket (1999-2003) would not have existed. I can honestly say this since Hamann is what brought people like Me, Jay, Jon and a lot of my closest BMW friends together. I don’t know if I would’ve met these guys if it wasn’t for Hamann – and a lot of good times would have been missed. *Ask Jay his opinion about this and you’ll get a great Chinese accent along with how reamed we used to get initially until we saw the true WD pricesheet LOL. But hey, that’s all in the past. Hamann stuff was the sh*t back in the day – and we made damn well sure everyone knew that. We had the East Coast locked down with DTM and the West Coast with tUNINGwERKS. Great times, fun memories and cool products.
For those not in the know, these are the “Certificates of Authenticity” that WheelPower used to give out with each Hamann product so you knew that you were getting the real deal…yes, I owned this much Hamann stuff at one time LOL.
RIP Richard Hamann – 1957-2011
