I don't want to hate members here, nor do I want to argue with them unless it is about something related to the cars, and the exchange is friendly, but two sided.
If I pissed you off, or made you hate me ard, sorry. But I have been around the forum block long enough to know, while you saw him as the troll, it was kinda you too.
And I agree with Crowz. The general consensus on many forums is "Do A, B and C and then make it your own". Problem is, A, B and C involve removing things some people might want, changing to the same stuff everyone has because racecar, and then being accepted. The M3 was a prime example. Get these wheels and tires, this suspension, and fuck SMG, fuck verts, fuck sunroofs. Slicktop manual, with 18" CSL reps, GTR hood, CSL diffuser, in Blue with Cinnamon or you are a noob. Silver? Why would you buy that.
My whole point is, maybe instead of trolling trolls (if you really think we are trolls)... Walk away.

Got to admit, I've been on multiple BMW forums over the years and Kaput has been on most of them with all kinds of great information. So for people to say that a person is a "newbie" simply because they are new here or not a large amount of posts is just offputting.
Not talking about a touchy-feely type of forum, there are plenty of opportunities for a learning experience for all with some discourse, but hell, aren't most of us here to learn and have some common comradery over a vehicle we all enjoy or hate?
I've only been on here for 8 years and didn't really post much until this last year. But whether here, e46fanatics, bimmerforums, bimmerboard or elsewhere (Like us old-timers "roadfly") we can have a very large amount of posts overall. Plus I've known plenty that have had huge numbers of posts without any real knowledge.
