Doing my bloody noodle in. Forum thoughts required.

Post by Maniac » Fri May 22, 2015 5:58 pm

So It seems every bloody minute someone posts e85/6 stuff in the e89 areas or indeed just completely wrong areas no matter what. It's my pet hate as it gets totally confusing as people answer for wrong models etc

So the question is, is it time for the area headings to be reworked and would that make it easier for people to know and post in the right places?

I'm a stickler for things being done right :D my wife on the other hand is so laid back it kills me! As for your op maybe the individuals don't know the model designations, I didn't until I joined the forum, it was just a Z4M, didn't know about E85/6 etc maybe a pic in the heading would help? :driving:

Hence my thoughts .. Do model designations confuse? And it's not just new members...

Are you talking about new threads or replying to existing E89 threads?

+1 On a personal note doesn't worry or annoy me if a post is in the wrong area - always useful to pick up info on all models just in case one day I might want to upgrade from my old E85 :P
