to the top.

Well this does make it easier to answer questions for those who can't manage to include the info on their own...
It doesn't help the person who can't realize that this info is needed to answer nearly any question about said vehicle. They may be beyond help.

Also, the what "the what does my, 'trans failsafe,' "check engine light,' 'abs,' etc. mean?" is fantastic!
Cause anyone has the ability to figure out what the trouble code is and on top of that the fault at the source of said trouble code.

Can't agree more!

Have a little patience with others, a lot of them are freaked out over huge repair bills and when they land here they are usually desperate. But even those who post urgent may well eventually just stomach the cost and have it fixed, then forget about the post.

I got here when my CV boots needed replacing and I couldn't stomach 1000 USD bill for what seemed a straight forward job. This board was a great source of info and I realized after a while that there is a great sense of community as well. Once I accepted that I would have to wrench a lot more on the X to keep it rolling I have seen it mostly as a challenge.

Not every one sees it that way, most people would run a mile on the thought of touching a wrench.

Bast??? What do you mean??? You mean when someoe says, "SES light is on and blinking, what does this mean?" You cant precisely answer that on the fly?
What is wrong with you?:rofl:

Yeah I agree with Tri. Some get the X as their first BMW because its a BMW! It's the ultimate driving machine and the commercials just make you as cool as Ryan Gossling in Drive. That is until you found out your CV boot is torn, oil is leaking like the Exxon Valdez, Dash looks like a pretty Christmas tree, and your new best friend; "BMW SA" has just finished sitting down with you, hand you your key fresh out of the transponding unit and hands you the estimate. You see a 4 digit number and start to hyper ventilate. The first thought that comes to your head is, "How much is the X worth?" Those that fear a wrench just say, "Ok, I guess it needs to be done." Hands over the plastic and thus begins monthly payments on a SAV you paid off free and clear. Those that are mechanically inclined come here and try to figure it out on their own and after they accomplish their first job, its like cocaine. Xoutpost begins to consume their lives.
Ya gotta love it.

Xoutpost has consumed my life. Just wanted to put that out there.

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" or I should say my X pulls me back in. Sorry for the obscure Godfather reference but it's true!

TTGTR - great post by the way, have any of the mods started working on making this a requirement at sign up or at least a sticky?

Thanks! Isn't my original idea, but i couldn't find the original post. And it would be nice to make it a requirement. I don't know how hard it would be to write the code for it, but make it a part of the sign up process.

Just in case someone missed this. Please read first post again.
