Jeff,

Bummer man. BMW has dropped the ball on this big time. I truly am less likely to buy another of their products in the future. This is nothing more than some corporate jerk not understanding the value of this awesome site, and the benefit it brings to all who own the damn products they sell.

Truly, I am shocked.

I bet if we worked at it would get get a LOT of signatures on a petition that would make the corporate jokers rethink their decision. I'd be happy to help!

I agree with everyone's comments and in particular I think Drex hit the nail on the head. This country generates thousands of lawyers every year and they eventually all have to do something to earn a living, no matter how stupid it is, and I honestly think this redefines the word 'stupid.' You only have to look at a BMW brochure from 1979 compared to one from 2009 with it's thousands of warnings printed in a 4 point font to realize that just as much money is spend (wasted) on lawyers as is on engineers by our beloved car manufacturer of choice.

Anyway, as said above, I'm glad we can continue, nice job on the seemless transition and upgrade guys; very well done.

Now I'm off to the dermatologist's office to get the 'X5 World" tattoo on my ass lasered off before I get a letter for The Man.

If you kept your pants on, no one would know...:stickpoke

Look, as a non-practicing attorney myself, I can say lawyers suck. But this isn't a lawyer problem, it's a BMW Corporate Marketing problem. BMW coporate things they can somehow make money here, and I think they are costing themselves money. Corporate has given the lawyers their marching orders here. And these are stupid orders.

It's the chicken or the egg problem; my vote is the chicken.

Summer, beach, thong... you do the math.

Hmmm ... please say you mean the hot chicks in thongs and not you know who! :D:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Jeff,

When could we expect access to the old Homepage? The one with the articles/DIY and such. No rush, just curious.

Better shut up or I'll make my long lost brother Simon my new avatar.

At this time I am planning to keep all that as an information repository on xoutpost.com - X5world

Over time I may decide differently, but for now it provides a bridge between the old and the new.
