Sorry to hear your displeasure with the fourm. I like you have been reading the fourm for a while now and recently joined.
What you are saying about the negativity can be seen in almost any car forum on the net. I was on m5board for a while (very interisted after my Dad's purchase) when you read the posts there you would think it is the worst car ever made, ie no 6 speed, no launch control, the SMG problems, too much oil consumption, only 10 mpg ect.
But the truth is people on the boards (this and m5) in my experience truly love the cars. Why would they take time to write things ups if they did not love the car. I have yet to hear anyone say f-this e70 its going back.
IMHO take the threads for what they are worth suggestions in an open forum to entice discussion, not x5 bashing

Who cares, go away :) Hows THAT for honesty :)

Let me be perfectly honest with you…. internet forums are not for you, if you are put off by others opinions and have not learned to ignore posts that get under your skin your in for a lot of disappointment. Forums operate the same no matter where you go, people post others comment. A couple people will argue but in general everyone enjoys the banter, that’s why we keep coming back !

I want to read the political threads because I love to hate some opinions. I want to read the tech stuff because I like to learn how I can be better at repairing these rigs. I skip the Modding posts because they don’t interest me.

I expect everyone has a similar way of weeding out the posts to satisfy their personal taste.

Good Luck !

I have been disappointed in the style change also.
Key term, dissappointed. I am on my second X5 and looked forward to many more. Because the new style is putting me off was upsetting. I hated to see it go. For you it works. Thats great. But don't deny
us old X'ers our opinions please. Thx.

LOL! This is a funny thread.... Let me see if I understand this correctly:

The OP is leaving and never coming back because on the X5 internet forum (which is really a DISCUSSION GROUP) people have differing opinions than his and some are critical?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'm ...... I'm...... at a loss for words........



*looks outside for pigs flying by

:iagree:

I learned so much about X5 from here and it helps me to communicate with my dealer. They also try to do their best because they feel that I know what I'm talking about, even though, I just repeat what I read from here :)

I saw new X5 this morning when I dropped my X5 :) I like new X5 a lot. As everybody knows every car has PRO and CON.

I hope he will come back and tell us his experience and opinion about new X5 :)

Anyone want to venture a guess how this thread would read if it was posted on bimmerfest or RF...:rofl:

:stickpoke :flame: :gunner: :gun:

I'm not sure if we should try - we might have different opinions...

They intimidated the hell out of me. I never posted on either site. We're much more diplomatic (well, most of us).
