Have E71 owners done something to upset the members?

Post by X5Sport » Tue Sep 28, 2010 9:21 pm

I can't help but notice that the board has only one area for E71 owners? :poke:

It either means that there are not enough of us to be given all the same rights as the other 'E' types, or we are seen as a bit odd (we may be :cry: ) or they don't break or have performance problems..... :driving:

(Tongue in cheek mode off). :tumbleweed: :fuelfire:

I'll er ........... get me coat.

:rofl: Dont think its nothing personal, just so few E71 owners on here i think, regards the "they don't break or have performance problems.." that make be wishful thinking in the long term, but shouldn't be having to many problems just yet :thumbsup:

I appreciate recent comments indicate little need for further response, however, just for the record.........

Pvr & myself chose site name so as to welcome discussions re all BMW X models, (we welcome E71 owners & discussions).

Present lack of multiple E71, (or other), sub forums is purely to keep things easy to find & for ease of housekeeping.

If we later feel a need for further sub forums they will be created :)

I sincerely hope I haven't caused any upset as that was not my intention. My sense of humour can be a little odd. Everything was very tongue in cheek, and I think the spirit of all the replies was pretty much in the same vein.

With the luck I have with my Beemers, I'll probably be the one with all the posts in the future 'How To and 'Help I've boken it' type headings anyway.

I'll go and write 100 lines of 'Must remember to take medication before posting topics on forums' or is that 'Fora'? Never was any good at Latin.

Not at all fella no upset here :thumbsup: just a bit of banter :D now don't forget those pics after collection it will be good to see other models on here as it's mainly e53's with a growing e70 population and IIRC one x1 owner or owner to be.

:rofl: ................Absolutely zero upset caused.

Forget lines in detention - Instead you can later share valuable E71content, (hopefully not problem related) :D ;)

e71 is a really nice car. I just wish I could put the 3 kiddies across the back and the 53 would be swapped.
