I understand that if you only enter one keyword for search, you might want to limit it to at least 3 characters, but if I enter multiple keywords, then why can't one of them be 2 characters. Especially if one of those characters is a number.

I was interested in knowing if anyone had switched from an E60 to an X5 and how that worked out for them. So I entered into the search:

E60 switched X5

Boom! Search won't allow that because one of the terms is less than 3 characters. So I guess X5 or M5 or anything like that isn't possible in the search. So basically I've got no way of searching for X5 at all. New thread time (despite it potentially being a repost of a question answered in the past many times).

:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Try:


X5*

Tried and succeeded. Nice one :) Worth adding a bit of text to that effect on the error page.

X5 is called the E70.

That's a very good idea! Thank you! We will add this! :thumbsup:

I was thinking you could have added either E53 or E70 to the search terms! :geek:

It seems rarer for people to mention the E number when referring to an X5 on these forums.

After owning no less than 3 X5's now, it's just second nature for me! :cool:

Yea - old timers should remember the use of a "wild card" *
:doh:

Before my time! :whistle:
