Legend, not so much, I think. Access denied, when I sent a request, proving my point:

I'm probably just imagining this, but I'll put it out there for all to see.

Is there a secret handshake I missed? or an exclusion rule? it just seems like there is, after

• 1) two members offered items (a proven part to test with, and a Bentley manual) to help me in the past, but withdrew their offers without explanation,
• 2) some members post info that others can read (based on their replies and comments), but comes up blank when I try to read it, again for no apparent reason, and
• 3) now "Access denied" when I tried the link above...my Google Drive and my email are both in good working order, so I can only assume it's just me, not my computer, that is being snubbed/denied.

It would hurt my feelings if I had any left (at 73, I really don't), but I've tried not to offend anyone on this forum (but I've been on many automotive and other-types of DIY forums...for over thirty years... including some where the slightest disagreement butt-hurts another); I've had no negative feedback here (as far as I can tell)...I've even steered clear of the Politics Forum, because I came here to get and share knowledge about cars, trucks, and especially the X5, not to anger anyone, so ???

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similarly strange (unexplained) excommunicatory instances, while on Xoutpost? I've always been able to at least read all posts on other forums, without blank spaces, so it's a mystery... Why here? I can get by, without full inclusion, but some others might not be able to get the info they need, if met by a possibly inadvertent preclusion from receiving it, at a critical time.

It might just be a wonky firewall on my devices, an anti-virus program on all, or from using Google/Chrome on all, or something simple I've not found, but it just puzzles me, from time to time.

You are not alone...I have exactly the same responses on both sites. At least with the first one I got to suggest that maybe a class action could be used against BMW for with holding the information on cars older than 15 years. It seems fair that they keep their vehicles under warranty by year as closed information, but not all vehicles. I only used 15 yrs as an example.

I think sometimes there is probably a lot of PMing going on in the background, especially by people trying to make themselves look like they know more than they really do, maybe trying to make themselves look more helpful than they really are to promote their book or what not and maybe offering a copy of their book behind the scenes to whoever will help them build their fake reputation. I'm mainly only on 2 forums the other being for repairing tape decks but we have some of that there too.

I've never been able to get a digital version of the Bentley manual unfortunately.

But did buy a hard copy version some time ago and it has been helpful. However, more often than not I find myself using New TIS.

Was there some specific info ya'll were looking for?

victell and the OP, ValkyrE53 are requesting Bentleys due to their current needs; others, including myself, either have a manual, some sort of working substitute for one (like the .pdf files I found online, somewhere), and/or use a combination of many data sources, instead. I also rely on NewTis and RealOEM a lot.

I tried the link posted by UK_3.0D Sport, just to see if it actually would lead to an online Bentley, though for me, it led nowhere. Others might've succeeded, where I did not.

I view about a dozen forums, and participate actively (a member) of about eight, but mostly view five daily (Xoutpost.com and TnTTT.com the most); I've sent and received many PM's here, from several people, and I don't think any were from self-serving persons, as far as I can tell. I've gotten sage advice or received ideas for solutions from many, even if I haven't used all their advice (yet). In the case of the two items offered/promised to me, though for some reason neither surfaced, I have no reason to doubt the sincerity of the offers, at that time. Who knows why the offerred items weren't sent? It would've been nice to get a reason, but things change, and circumstances might've made the follow-ups impossible. Oh well.

Sorry I hardly ever use google drive to share.

Let me try another way....

Edit: This is not my main gmail account. I have logged in and found requests. I didn't realise I had to approve requests to share the link. I assumed anyone could download it once I had shared it.

Anyway please try again and any new requests please allow time for me to check and approve. Thanks

Trying to allow requests but getting this message:

Will upload to another file sharing service and post again.

Thank you kindly!

Can verify this works. It is a literal full photo scan of the book though so no digitally searchable ToC or the like. Not a big deal, just FYI'ing.
