Photo repository idea

[Bmwe5320023.0]

I'm not sure if this already exists, or if someone else had thought about it before.
But what it we created a catalog of every picture of every nut and bolt and wire of the X5?
I feel like we have electrical diagrams, wiring diagrams, realeom for parts, but oftentimes we don't rememeber how something goes together etc. and we spend hours looking for pictures. Wouldn't it be helpful to have a cataloged of real high quality photos?
I know cnn90 has lots of tutorials with pictures across different forums. I was thinking was if there was a repository with folders. For example, for disassembly of every component on the vehicle.
I.e. disassembly of the front right door. It would have high quality pictures of every nut and bolt and panel taken off and it what order.
Does any feel that'd be a good idea and helpful?

Real oem has pretty much exactly what you describe. It doesn't have the procedure but has every nut and bolt.

An example of the sway bar. Identifies every bolt nut and washer. Almost always including the thread diameter and length.

Eg: part 5 is M10x55. Often the pitch is even included but i think when it's not it's the common course thread.

It would still be very helpful if the forum would allow proper picture upload without secondary services (I know some small files can be uploaded). For example on bimmerforums.co.uk you can just paste a picture on the forum message. It is so easy and massively lowers the threshold to link informative pictures. On this forum many times I feel restricted that I would have the answer on a picture but not the means/time to share it.

It's why i use Tapatalk. Auto photo upload, but can't upload PDF attachment, so stupid.
