    Default Subdivide the 5-board?

    I've noticed a trend lately .. not a flood of them, but every now and then, I see some E34 owners selling off or losing their cars to accidents, and upgrading to an E39 or newer. Maybe it's time to add a sub menu for specific chassis numbers? Maybe start with the E28 and work our way up? I think it'd attract more people from other model-specific boards. What say you?

    Subdividing would basically add one extra click to your navigation after clicking the 5 board, then click the E-number, then everything should look familiar to you. We've got a 3, 6, 7, and 8 board.. so why not?

    i think it would dilute the board too much. concentrated knowledge is better.

    I agree. The forum is not that active.

    I think the reason for the inactivity is because when people from say, the m5board come here with their catagorized listings, and see mainly that this is E34 heavy, they don't feel like they need to chime in if they have say, an E28 or E39 or even newer model.

    As much as I want to agree with your point, I can not since I actually navigate around almost every board here anyway, which I'm sure the majority of people here do anyway since half the drivetrains are found in other models (M20 in 3's, M30's in 7's and so on).

    don't take this the wrong way, but if you aren't finding the e39 info you are looking for, then there are other places you can go.

    i don't agree with your reason for inactivity.
