I finally stepped up and bought the Premier membership. This forum has helped me countless times on some of my projects. I have made so many good friends sharing the same passion for the X5, I am happy to give back.

That being said, I wish we had a better marketplace for our E53 forum.

This item for instance was not authorized but still a great price and I know I would jump on it in a heartbeat. There are probably a lot more hard to find, sought after parts that could be bought and sold easily here on Xoutpost.

Just a suggestion. Mods?

I agree. Though, it is interesting how many people just disregard the wishes/rules of forum. I'm fairly sure most are aware of the membership requirement when posting their FS threads.

But I also see the benefit of having the membership be required for posting FS threads. In the end... I'm happy give back for the knowledge and camaraderie gathered here.

I agree 100%, rules are rules. But if you go to our Parts and Accessories sub forum, the traffic there is minimal and I think as this point of our E53 lifespans, there could be a lot more parts and products listed by private sellers. I certainly think vendors should pay a fee to sell on here but we have all come to expect the convenience and simplicity of fleaBay and CraigsList for private sellers. I guess I would just like to see more traffic in our classifieds.
