OK, so why don't we close all subforums and leave only the main one?
But in the case of Vegastrashes post it was not clear cut. He made a good point why it should stay and but you thought otherwise... so since that happened and that thread can be in either section then leave it.

What kept people away from RF? I'm sure some of us know the answer.
Here we can agree to disagree and still be civil about it.
I can tolerate to a certain degree, and if not, I might say/do something that I regret later on.
But... it's all good. Democracy in action!

Hey vegas,
I removed that thread. It belonged in the Competition forum based on what you initially wrote however the thread turned into an argument between you and Iceman which didn't have to be done publicly. Since the thread didn't contain anything but that argument I decided to remove it.
As for threads being moved, it happens daily and everyone accepts it and moves on. It's really up to the discretion of the Admins and the Moderators. The competition forum was created to be the home of threads which compare the E60 to other cars, not only in terms of performance but any other aspect too. Therefore, any E60 vs. XYZ Car threads will be moved there.
We're not here to create conflict, just to run an orderly community.

How about creating a strictly performance-oriented thread with the emphasis on 5-series performance, per se, as well as 5-series performance in relation to other cars. IMO, the Competition Forum far too often contains discussion of other cars and their features, without even mentioning the 5-series, for it to be a reasonable place to house 5-series performance discussions. In general, the Competition forum is a far different creature than one that might deal seriously with 5-series performance.
Car XYZ has 400 hp
0 to 60 in 5.2 secs
3900 lbs
Drives well
etc etc
I dont see it as a place to put direct real world comparisons.

Exactlly! The Competition forum is more for Stats and figures of other cars, non BMW.
