Its back!!! Awesome news

Post by Motor84 » Tue Aug 03, 2010 2:02 pm

Congrats moderators for getting the new forum up and running. :thumbsup: I had a few write ups posted on the old site, gutting I didn't back them up somehow. I may try and find something on my towbar fitting.

Sad news is though, I had to sell my X5. :( Now the proud owner of a 330i Touring though, love it. I will be purchasing an X5 in the not too distant again, I just love the X5! So I will stick around if thats ok.

Thanks x555, I still have the pics, might raid the memory banks to recreate it. So great to have a UK based forum again. :)

Glad to see you on here bwg :thumbsup: and a nice 330 you have there too. Orient Blue is a cracking colour same as our first BMW albeit a 320d. As x555 said the towbar write up + bike rack was very good, if you could recreate it again I'm sure you would make life easier for many members new and old. Good luck with the 330.

Cheers Chompers, great to see all the familiar people on here. I'll get onto the towbar write up for sure.

Thanks for the welcome back guys. So glad this forum is back, :D I kind of lost interest in the forum world while using the others!

In answer to your question Sanj, although I love a smooth petrol engine, the next one will have to be diesel I reckon. I even think I would still go for another E53, I just prefer it to the E70 looks, even though I haven't driven an E70. Plus the E70 is so wide, the wife would struggle I think. You've got me thinking about my next purchase! (close your ears new 330 Touring).

Also, a message to the Mods, a nice looking interface you've picked up for the new forum. Much cleaner and nice to use than the old one!
