It isn't me, B-Line...
But, I found my original post from the Ol'RoadToadBored,
back in the day, (November 2001), when that was the only
joint for X5 bs:

Hi All, New to this board. Just stumbled upon it. Have read most of the X5 posts.
Our X5 is 2 1/2 mths old w/<4K miles.We enjoy it;it is a "2nd" car. Had Jeep Grand
Cherokee for 6 yrs before this.

My 2 cents on picks&pans:

Picks: Glitch free thus far.
Seemingly well constructed.Surpising torgue in all gears at all rpm.
More bells&whistles than the space shuttle.
Handles v.well for SUV.
Excellent gas mileage,esp on hway. Don't see yourself on the road.
The MBenz drivers look.
Pans: First gear is way too low. Almost a creeper.
Crying for a true OD 5th. What were they thinking?
Seating pos. is so-so. Maybe it's just me: right leg goes to sleep on long drives.
The v.good handling sucks you in;this is not a car!

$5 visors!! What pieces of junque. And, don't block much sun.
Black leather interior: shows everything.Pass on the black int,if you can. The open
"moonroof" doesn't do much in exhaust,etc. Just wind noise,when open.
The antitheft/brain red thing on rear view mirror looks like something off a $5 toy.
The computer can't read my gar. door opener.
Doesn't hold as much "cargo" as the ol' Jeep.
The doors close very "clunkily" and don't always latch.
Any comments/opins are welcome and appreciated.

Ques.: any exp with aftermkt snow tires/wheels? The orig tires are not for snow,imo.
I'm changing my oil/fil. at 4k+. 15k seems way tooo long for me.
Thanks for letting me rant and rave.
My Best Regards, MD"

And, a page of posts from that week back in Nov., 2001:

http://bimmer.roadfly.com/x5/message.../y2001w47.html

MiCkEy, Greg, ChrisF., and a few others were there then, also.
And, a bunch that don't come by here, or have moved on...

I was a knucklehead nearly 6 years ago, too.

Same idiot, jes'
older now.

ANd she was rich, and everyone looked at her X, she had the only one in the state.

So which one of you guys is Debbie? Is it the Chairman? Is it PNG???

CGSTL · #16 06-07-2007, 04:22 PM

I thought she was bragging about her 3-series and how everyone looked at her like she was rich.

I guess she trolled all the boards. She definately posted on the X5 board about her X.

Didn't see my name on this list. I came over in late March 2005 from RF after Chris F. told me where all the cool people went.

I'm from a different perspective, I started posting about all cars in mid 2003, on Autospies.com. Well, in mid-late 2006, the site went wayyy downhill, and I couldn't stand the idiot members/editors there, so I started to look for a refuge with educated people that aren't complete losers...and, in Jan '07, I found one

Yes, talking about and reading about BMWs nonstop gets really old after awhile, so that's why I have autoblog.com

.
If you can't tell by some of my posts, I'm a FoMoCo guy
