BMS, Bullet Motorsports Speedlab, was originally founded to turn “ordinary” BMWs into the fastest race cars possible. BMS race cars have won numerous national championships over the past four years and BMS continues to promote club racing through its driver development program. From their intimate knowledge of the inner workings of BMWs, and countless hours of track time testing products in a high-stress environment, BMS technicians are highly skilled in tuning BMWs and Minis for street applications. There are many misconceptions in the aftermarket tuning industry. Our job is to separate the truth from the hype, for the benefit of our customers. Of course, tuning by itself is insufficient without full knowledge of servicing not only BMW components, but also the full range of aftermarket equipment from superchargers to stereos. There is nothing on your BMW or Mini that BMS can’t fix – or if you desire, improve.

Update 3 Dec: Bullet Motorsports is a legitimate California business. The job offer email is the only fraud.

  1. One point that I’ve noticed about this particular scam—it’s written using a pretty skilled level of grammar and spelling. I didn’t read it thoroughly checking for errors, but no mistakes caught my attention. My first red flag is poor sentence construction and spelling. That always makes me back off. This one will surely catch some people not as savvy as you.
