_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Man we've got it good here. Mod's who don't mind using a bleeped out profanity every now and then. I just received a warning from the mods of an American based forum I'm on. I got asked to edit thread where I said "oh my god". Apparently, not only did I take the name in vain I also used it as a profanity. The warning came when I edited the post as they requested to "oh my Allah". Now I'm being inflammatory they say and deleted my entire thread..lol Some people have no sense of humor. To the Mod's and Admin here. You guys are friggin awesome. Is it Bimmerfest? I am still a moderator there, but i do not post there ever, and only jump on once in a while if i have an E34/E32 specific matter (not enough owners here). Once upon a time i was very active on the E30 and E34 pages being the resident eurospec guy. Used to send heaps of euro spec parts like lights and trim etc over there before the E30 craze really hooked on and the guys that due it full time in the UK got stuck in. I still get the odd request from the E34 guys though, the E34 is actually an enthusiest car there not just a daily driver like they tend to be here. But when you do the export thing you need to keep active on the forum so people know your name and more importantly trust you, have realised its easier not dealing with americans and not having thier money lol Edited October 17, 2015 by _Ethrty-Andy_ 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulgan 1042 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 Andy, It was the other Bimmer-forums. Not my first warning there either. I had the audacity to say "crap" on another occasion. An excerpt from the message sent to me.lol that Profanity of any kind (including misspelling's like A$$, etc.) is prohibited. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 Took the 330i up north today, did 150km each way on some A & B roads. What a great drive. It seems thats where the car excels, open road driving. Just great performance from the 5 speed auto and the low / mid range pull from the M54B30 Love the road holding and stability. Ride is not too bad either. It's no wonder M sport or M cars are so well liked. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 18, 2015 Andy, It was the other Bimmer-forums. Oh right, the E34 guys are crazy on that. I called out about 30 dudes for saying they had taken thier M20 and M50 E34s to 270km/h. Got real stuck into one guy that was insistent he had taken his 540i 6 speed with a 3.9 diff (really low ratio) to the same speed, untill i prooved the mathematics that his gear ratios simply wouldnt alow that. got quite butt hurt lol. Definately better here than most of the US ones. Though the E30 site R3v is second to none 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definately better here than most of the US ones. Though the E30 site R3v is second to none I agree but for the E38 it's about the best forum I've found. The knowledge base there is huge and generally if I need to know something I can find the answer in the forum with a quick search. Even if I search on google it will return most of it's results from that forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
