X5 Forum VS....

Hi,

So I'm sure you all know by posts I've had a ton of cars. And I have been on forums for all of them since around 2004ish.

Overall I have had great experiences with forums.

I had heard rumors that some BMW forums were not good places to be. So I was a little hesitant about this one.

I was just visiting my Audi S6 forum perusing posts - kind of tracking all the issues. And came across more than a few that were embarrassing... containing personal attacks and such for no reason. People there are being quite the asses...

I can only assume it is because there are now well over 50 2014+ S6s on that forum with blown turbos - and more happening every day. And those are just the ones reported on the forum. Combine that with even more with the TD1 flag/void warranty that everyone is getting over there and I guess I'd be upset, too.

I dumped my 6 figure S6 for just those reasons.

I just wanted to take a moment to point out, and say thank you, to everyone on this forum. It has been a fantastic place to post, read, research and interact and literally everyone so far has been positive.

I've only had my car like 3 months or so...but being here has made much more enjoyable.

So thanks everyone!

Your nickname is a disgrace to the BMW community. Shame. Shame.




























Just kidding. Enjoy the bright side!

Every forum has it's share of E-thugs. I just ignore them, why give them what they want?

I find this is a nice helpful place, too. As you mention a real contrast to some forums.

Well done!

I guess you haven't visited the politics forum - Be afraid, very afraid.
