after I bought my car i was surfing around to see if I could actually work on the thing myself, not being able to afford dealership service and not knowing ANYTHING about a German car. I went and read and searched and read and eventually found this place (before the format change). This was the ONLY place where people were actually giving relivent information regarding DIY repairs, serious replies to serious questions. This is the one stop place if you need help, roadfly seemed way out of touch and some others never really answered peoples questions. This place has been like a family to me and over time reading just about everything I can say I actually know a decent amount of information on our cars, more than my indie and the local dealership for sure. The dealer has me on the new Bangled up Bimmers but I have no intention of learning them right now. I would say that most newbies get 'initiated"' one way or the other, a make it or break it attempt to see if they are serious about their cars. 13" trash can exhausts are frowned upon by most here along with the 24" blinged wheels.
this is my second home.
