Hey Guys! Any BMW Fans as well here?

Darren500 · 10-23-2007, 11:06 AM

As many of you I am a fan of most German marks, owning Bimmer's, Benz's, and P-cars.

As this site is amazing for MB information

, I didn't feel there was a BMW site that was up to par so I launched a new one!

Hopefully all my MBWorld Friends can sign up and check it out and tell me what you think. The site is www.Bimmerpages.com

Please enjoy.

Mods-Admins if this is against the rules I apologize in advance and of course you may delete this post if it is.

great idea...I'm sure it'll bring in good money from those Ad's as well

Darren500 · 10-23-2007, 11:43 AM

Thanks!

Well the ad's go away once someone registers actually, I put them up to hopefully cover the dedicated server costs

360_iti · 10-23-2007, 11:55 AM

There are bimmerfest, bimmerpost, bimmerforums, bmwboard, e46fanatics, m3post, m3forum, m5board, m6board, e90post, etc etc. Which ones are not up to par?

+1

Did you miss the millions of other sites?

tommy · 10-23-2007, 04:01 PM

Of course, the most important one right now is 1addicts.com. Bring on the 135!

Shake · 10-23-2007, 04:09 PM

I thought there were already some really good BMW sites.

But I like BMW's

Darren500 · 10-23-2007, 04:54 PM

Well honestly from what I saw on those other forums, you get absolutely blasted if g-d forbid u repost or spell a word incorrectly.

I thought it would be interesting to try and get a more mature BMW board going, worth a shot!

Sorry if I offended anyone.
I've been a member here for a while so I thought it would be ok to share.

AsianML · 10-23-2007, 05:25 PM

Will you get blasted for even hinting that an M5 is inferior in any way?

1985mb · 10-23-2007, 05:39 PM

Good luck .... if it takes off, that means there was a demand for it (and/or it's better than existing)

If nobody tried to one-up existing products/services, where would we be today?

he is right.. If you think its hard here in off topic... Just go visit some of the BMW forums... Mostly because of the fact that it has a lot more 10-18 year olds.

Jessica90 · 10-23-2007, 11:26 PM

Your site looks good

Yep, It won't be easy but we will do our best to make it different!

Thanks all for the nice words!
6speedonline got a lot of trolls also but we have caught most of em' so hopefully it will be easier this time around!

HLG600 · 10-24-2007, 01:32 AM

Very nice site.

jjay911 · 10-24-2007, 02:50 AM

Bmws are Ok....an ocasional Pcar is fine too....

I think your best bet is to not let anybody with an old body 3 series on since 99% of them appear to be little kids driving daddy's car these days and expecting maturity from a bunch of 16yr olds who think they're hot **** isn't going to happen.

NdnMbLova · 10-24-2007, 02:47 PM

My buddy ClayJ might sign up.

Yep the idea is to cater to the modern day BMW owners, but there will always be a few kids in every crowd though.

dakrisht · 10-25-2007, 05:15 AM

Hey Darren500,

Nice site. Considering I just bought a 2008 550i Sport --- I'm now a member.
Hopefully you'll get some quality members on there!

Good luck!

ctC230K · 10-26-2007, 10:32 AM

Any thoughts on 535 vs 550?

You and Tommy can start a 135i Tri-State forum

Holson · 10-26-2007, 11:38 AM

Yes! My next car's an E92 of some sort (probably not a 328i

)

Looks good

hellcat · 10-26-2007, 11:49 AM

Kind of hijacking the thread but what the hell is the 'i' at the end of the numbers supposed to mean? I haven't seen a single new BMW for about 3 years that didn't have it so why bother putting it? The only reason to add it would be to distinguish it from a car that doesn't have whatever 'i' is but if every single car you sell has that feature or whatever then why waste the time and money putting it on the trunk?

ctC230K · 10-26-2007, 11:54 AM

cuz its gotta be somethin that ends in i!!

lol it used to be Ci for the coupe, i for the sedan but they fail at names now.

IIRC, BMW first started using "i" with the "New Six" E3 sedans and E9 coupes starting in the late 1960s. The "i" denotes fuel Injection.

It isn't just the last 3 years - BMWs bound for the USA have had them for much longer than that.

It may seem ubiquitous (and useless) to you, because BMW sells gasoline-powered cars in the US and, hence, all of them have the "i"

However, in Europe and elsewhere (and probably will soon in the US too), BMW sells Diesels. Those models are typically designated using "d" or "td"

Once BMW starts selling Diesels in the US, the "i" will no longer be universal here
