I like this forum.......

There are so many forums, especially "performance car" forums where the average topic is "I'm 23, my bird is just about to drop triplets and our council flat is a bit small. Should I save my benefits up and get a GTR Skyline or look for a mortgage"? The answer is always "ditch the bird and get the GTR". 
OK I may be exaggerating a bit, but not much.

Not at all, some of the recent posts on this thread got a chuckle from me. But I have belonged to some forums where “helping a brother out” was the last thing on many members minds. Pitiful attempts at humor were the rule not the exception. I have not found that to be the case here.Pondrew said:Guilty as charged I'm afraidOld-Duckman said:
Also now I'm here your tw*t quota has just gone up by at least 1.
Some replies to posts are funny and appreciated but I think the focus here is to pass on knowledge and advice...”humor” is secondary.

Yeah, Carol, haha.
She was later replaced by another know it all,opinionated Yellow e89 owner......lol
Must be something that comes with the car?
Thankfully he seems to have gone quiet too?

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
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

Always ask yourself .. “What will happen if I say nothing?”
If you have nothing to say, it’s best to say nothing

I did have something to say Andy,and I said it
As plenty other people on here do too,and have also aired there annoyance with others views and know it all attitudes, I can name several.
I don't see you having a pop at them?!!

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 ?

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.
