I'm relatively new to this forum. The post from Michelle is very good reminder.

I guess you can call me a car enthusiast and utilize forums (of cars I own) to learn and share information. It's a fantasic way to get information. Besides this forum, I visit BMW, Honda, Mini, Porsche, 4runner forums - so I've experienced several online communities.

I have to agree it could be a little more newbie-friendly/helpful. But that said, this is the best X5 board I've found.
