Refreshing to see a modern car orientated forum that is busy, not "up itself" and willing to embrace anybody. I honestly didn't expect this type of forum from "BMW owners". BTW that's a good thing :thumbsup:
This place has been great over the years,even if it did inspire me to modify more than a few things on my first zed,back in 2007,from reading stuff on here,and later meeting owners like cj10/Phil,who had alot of special mods on his.

It's had its ups and downs,as with everything in life,but still a great place,for many reasons....advice,chat,and meets/making friends.

Long may it continue :driving:

Always ask yourself .. “What will happen if I say nothing?”

If you have nothing to say, it’s best to say nothing

You are quite right Craig ... absolutely

I don’t have a pop at people ...

hence my point .. if you don’t have something nice to say about someone .. don’t say it

I find it truly sad that you bad mouth another member on a thread called “I like this forum”

Time for reflection perhaps Craig ?

Since then I’ve owned a host of different cars but always have a soft spot for some of the punchier BMW models, alongside the Z4 3.0si I also have a F11 535D touring which is very much a family car, but I like it because it’s got some punch and a hell of a lot of practicality.

My sense is that the further you move away from the latest and greatest the more grounded the owners tend to be (not meaning to offend any of you lucky enough to own the new BMW series).

P.S. I love using my retrofit BMW indicators, they work beautifully!
My partner and I are the complete opposite, we are very late to the BMW party, having owned 13 Volvo's (but found too much one-upmanship was creeping in with that brand), we have to agree with you all here that this is a great forum with only good positive things to say about each others motors, and plenty of free friendly advice.
And now having bought an E86 Z4 last October, we seem to have been bitten by the bug as we have just sold our V60 and moved into what feels a very grown up car, a 2017 335d, what a perfect BMW combination (for us), with no offense taken. Unless anyone wants to correct me. :thumbsup:
