there's alot of guys who ask for vague help, but no details, imagine these guys at the parts shop.
if there are incomplete profiles, like " E34" and that is all, , no year, no month of production, no info on engine and you know what is required to answer CORRECT and in DETAIL.
Even the month and year of production is absolutely required to answer in detail to most of the questions.
Is there EML, ABS, mileage etc etc.

i've forgen how many times i've had this exact conversation and had to tell them to go look at the back of the damn car and tell me the numbers (a couple times in some cases) even want to develope a low opinion of the public? sell stuff
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
Winfred, you should sell BMW parts onlyless model numbers than Benz
On the other hand I have seen some BMW turds who may come back with their license plate numbers if you sent him at the back of the car to get the numbers.
I have heard a guys reply to the car's model as "2 door"

I turned sigs off. It takes up a lot of space on the page.Originally Posted by Russell
Page loads faster, minus the images of everyone's car. If its that special, make a pic post. O/W no sigs for me
Maybe the registration form has to be changed. People not willing to give info cannot register. Just that simple.
For example the German E34 Forum has a form where one even has to fill in the engine type more in detail. One can click it or if not known, they will revert you to info on their page to find out;
Example:
