M3AN 4016 Report post Posted April 11, 2022 They don't expire but you can't depend on Bimmersport to preserve them, if they're important then make sure you have copies elsewhere. I learnt this lesson the hard way. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just looked through your thread and all the images seem to be ok Everything is cool, not missing any images ... was just wondering if the images were going to tick over some milestone age and start to be pruned / deleted, hence making the content somewhat less valuable for errrr the next poor soul who may wish to attempt my swap 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted April 11, 2022 Pictures can go missing here without notice and for reasons beyond your control, do not depend upon Bimmersport for anything important. This applies to thread content other than pictures as well. Consider yourself warned. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some real life wisdom right there kids. Maybe they should add some sort of disclaimer on the web-site like “ this is not a secure storage service for your really important car photos”? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
