As most on here would know, www.bmwe34.net is a great resource.

But how can one contribute to it? I'd like to provide some info but every time I register an account it disables it and I can't seem to setup a login successfully. Does anyone know how to do it?

Should I email Bruno?

I think Bruno stepped down from the site a while back. Not sure if anyone took over the moderator part though, as I understood it is just being parked on a server for nostalgia purposes.

Hmm. oh :( Damn!

I'd really like to do some work on it. There's so much that could be added (now). It is really a great distillation of the things one 'needs to know'.

I'm sure he wouldn't mind if someone added to it but as I said I think he walked away from it. I will see if I can get any info regarding who to contact on it but your guess right now is as good as mine. A while back he was offering it to anyone and someone parked it for him as there wasn't any takers.

Nick,
I can still log in not sure about creating info pages.

email Bruno... I think his intent was to allow contributions to continue which is why he made into a wiki. He might not know that there is a problem in doing so.

He's been busy with his 635csi turbo race car, E34 M50 touring, and various other projects.

Thanks Jeff, Geoff, everyone... At least someone can log in, so that's something :)

I can view as an unauthenticated user, but if I try to log in I just get 'Account Disabled'. I'll mail him and ask if I can clean things up a tad. We updated the brakes page sometime ago, it should be okay.... :)

And I still have a 525iT and a 635csi race car with a 525iT brake booster in it and an M30 turbo engine.

So, for bmwe34.net, I need to update to the newest version of the wiki and finish transporting the old procedures.

I am pretty busy with work so I can keep my job and keep the company alive.
My life changed also quite a lot also.

How can you help... Well, I will fix the account registration (tons of people registered but maybe 1 out of 100 contributed).
Once it is fixed, I would appreciate if only people who really want to contribute create an account.

When... well, let me finish with the race car and the company website: www.racingking.ca/ateq then I willl get back to bmwe34.net

I am still here, and I still love the E34, I am planning on doing a write up about turbos.
