Hi all, Think I've had a late midlife crisis. Just got (well 3 or 4 weeks ago) 09 plate E89, in Havana metallic with only 46K on the clock. White leather upholstery, 3 Ltr automatic with paddles and a sport button (which I'm afraid to use). Loving the car so far.
Tried to get onto photobucket to do the photo but it seems they've changed their ToS to disallow 3rd party hosting. http://photobucket.com/p500/
Any other advice on uploading photos?

Regards to all from an old codger regressing to teenage years.
Tony
 
Welcome to the forum, you will love the sports button :thumbsup:
Set up a photobucket account, down load your photos. When you click on the photo, there are 4 boxes on the right of the picture, you click on the bottom box and it should say copy, then paste it on here :)

But as he says Photobucket has shut down 3rd party hosting (unless you pay $400!) :poke:

:wink:

Now I just use the attachments tab below, select add files, then place in line :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the welcome guys. I think I've managed to get the avatar and a pic in the signature line from Google photos. We shall see if it works.

No go with your image link I'm afraid "404 Error" is coming up. Try the 'Attachments' tab, 'add file' then, 'in line' method under the reply box. Unfortunately :worthless:

Oh and welcome, I see you in the Nailsea area not far from me :thumbsup:

Accessing your account for free is still OK, but PB are progressively blocking images hosted on PB from appearing on 3rd party sites, like this forum. Some still work, others don't and it's ruining all sorts of sites and is little more than blackmail
e.g. http://www.hobomama.com/2017/06/photobucket-phail-or-how-to-ruin-hosting-site.html

:poke: :wink:
 
What a beauty. Like the colour combination. I purchased an 09 e89 2.3i and didnt use the sports button for two weeks. Now I just leave it on :evil:
 
Well, I tried the sport button, WOW nearly s*** myself. think I might leave it off for a while longer. Gunna get too many speeding tickets as it is. :driving:
 
welcome to the forum. enjoy the car i know you will. only had mine 4 months now but ive loved every minute :driving:
 
Welcome to the forum OP - your car is stunning! :thumbsup:

I know what you mean about "late mid-life crisis" - I had mine so late I used part of the cash I got from taking a pension early! :lol:

Three years on I still haven't tried the Sport button. :oops: Mind you if you bury your right foot presumably the result is the same whether it's on or off!
 
Hi and welcome. Havana with white interior would be my colour choice (if I couldn't find a black one!).

I don't know if the sport button on the E89 is the same as on mine, but mine certainly tones the bum muscles! :lol:

Enjoy :driving:
