This forum is pretty much dead. Everybody seems to be at http://f10.5post.com/forums/

Since the owner changes at least the F10 forum chatters has moved. I wonder why?

Great site, but I can't seem to get registered.
something about "...server has denied you access".
Anyone else have trouble registering and know of a work-around?

Thanks

I'm actually over the F10post. I'm just not entertained by the posts there. These car forums won't get fun until people start buying the F10 used and are a little more reckless with modding and retrofitting.

Been trying to spend a little more time on this forum but all I accomplish is missing my E60 550i...

Yes. I tried for over a week and it kept saying my IP address came up as spam?!?!? Go figure........
I got registered by doing it over my phone.

They block/ban people over there like crazy. I was already 'warned' because I posted the name of another website (which apparently is not allowed). Chances are your IP is caught in the shadow of someone who broke the rules and was kicked off permanently.

It's funny because I have account on several of the other forums.. but I've continuously found this one to be better. It seems more mature and stronger user base in terms of knowledge. The amount of BS and kid-type stuff on the other forums is really high in comparison .. not good on the signal to noise.

I am not an F10 owner, so not sure about the quality for the F10 stuff.. but I've found this forum to be by far the best for E60 stuff. It'd be nice to keep it going more for F10.. which could be in my future one day.. maybe not. In any event, I enjoying being able to go to one place to read/comment on it all. Also, the classified section on this forum crushes any of the others I've ever seen (for the E60 anyway).

I used to be very active on this sites E60 Forum. Used to own 3 E60's - great cars.

I'm signed to the 5post.com/forums/ but have not posted anything, for some reason...

But still, I'm proud to be the first one to post pics of a F10 on 5 Series Forums > Gallery

I visit a few other forums, but this forum is the cleanest and easiest to navigate...and definitely E60 biased
