Guidelines:

• Use the correct Forum! Incorrect posting may be deleted.
• Do not create the same topic in more than one forum (cross posting). If you want to draw attention to a topic in another forum, post a note or a link.
• Use a descriptive Topic Subject as this helps others find what they want to read.
• Do not double post - search the forum first as questions may have been answered before.
• Respect the privacy of others. Do not post other's phone numbers, addresses, pictures, etc., without their permission.
• Do not dig up old threads. If you want to continue an old discussion (older than 1 month), create a new thread and reference the old one in your post.
• This is not a political or religious site, this is a BMW Enthusiasts’ site. Do not post on any issue that can be considered as political as someone will always be offended.
• Do not post messages with the subject or post all in capital letters, or your message will be deleted. Words all in capitals are not only annoying but are read 50% slower than normal writing.
