New guy here too and new to BMW! This is a great forum and I hope to one day be a valuable contributor...

I have been a heavy user and contributor to other forums - such as thedieselstop, RV.net, iboats.com, mustang forums, etc for the past 10 years or so. Those forums too, all had the same issues talked about here and it used to drive me crazy that members would bitch and moan to posters asking that "same old question". I always said, that forums were a place to ask questions - even a repeated one. The fact is, EVERY question has been asked before. E V E R Y Q U E S T I O N!!! And they can all be answered by a "search".

The last thing you want is to turn an excellent site and resource into a "database".

So get over it. If you don't like that same old question, move on. Your wasting more time answering with, "use the search button", than just ignoring the post.

Wow, only my second post and I'm already talking crap! LOL!

Cheers
Chris
