What brought you to Bimmerpost?

Buying my first BMW : I8

Was a BMW fan growing up, somehow stumbled upon this place as a lurker around 2010 and never looked back.

Buying my first BMW, an M2C. BP has been super-helpful in highlighting issues and questions I need to consider. Thank you!

So my question is what originally brought you here to Bimmerpost? I would have to assume it's because of owning a BMW at some point in your life. I do recognize there are some that don't even own one now but hang out here so I find that interesting.

Me personally, I did a random Google search last year to find reviews on certain BMWs including the one I own now and stumbled across this place. I was and am pleasantly surprised at how active this place is. Not only OT, but each of the model-specific forums as well. I don't think I've ever seen another car enthusiast forum that has so much activity day in and day out. Pretty cool.

This is what brought me here after buying my i3.

I can't get rid of this thing even after going to the dealer lol

Oh wow, that sucks. Even the service dept. can't clear this error?

It's an i3.. even the service dept don't care

I joined prior to getting my G20 and came here to see how people liked the car and what sorts of % off people were getting on their leases.

Feel like I'm on the OT section more though than the G20 side lol.

Yeah the OT section is much more entertaining to say the least. I mean the same stuff gets recycled over and over on the G20 forum. I mean you can only learn so much when people ask the same shit like how much did you get your car for? Which color looks better? Which wheels should I get? Is the HK worth it? BORING.

This place is where the action is at. Lol.

Agreed. I really haven't seen anything new lately there that isn't recycled lol. Did you see the trash post on "my Interior is RUINED!!" where the guy has a tiny little chip on his leather on the door panel? Mfr made it sound like his dog shitted all in his backseats or someone spilled oil in his car from the title.. wtf

Yes! I think you and I both commented on it and were surprised as to how the hell the dude could think his entire interior was ruined. Lol.

Nostalgia aside, I’ve (mostly) moved on from Mustangs and do BMW now. Naturally, I needed a new home. Didn’t forum much after signing up to buy something initially until I also got bored during the plandemic and found my unique to me Java green f82 for sale. Discovered it was owned by the white fed in breaking bad series and it was a no brainer

Wow, cool. Are you talking about the character Hank Schrader? Actor's name is Dean Norris.

A community of people who may have the same problems that my car might have and offer repair advice.

Slowphiveo · 07-10-2021, 04:20 AM

BMWs.

ryan stewart · 07-10-2021, 06:34 PM

Shit broke, figured it was something I could fix, googled the problem.

....eventually found it. It is one of the perks of being OG, you know where all the good bones are buried and how to find them. Most of them. There is a bone that has eluded me extremely well...I know it was posted, but it must have been deleted or my searches would have uncovered it by now. It was most definitely worth a repost if I ever find it.

Back to the topic at hand though, and without further ado - post #1147

Hey, you like VAG too? Its ok, no need to feel ashamed, as a proud straight male, I like VAG too. I'm enjoying the ride.

Not sure how I missed this post. Well done sir. Pretty comical reading back through that thread.
