Possible new Subforum

I've been thinking recently of perhaps adding a new subforum which would be named "The Competition" -- I've seen quite a few related posts lately and I think it would be a good idea to put them together in their own sub-forum.
The idea behind the subforums is not so much to make current members jobs more complex by reading more forums, but really for passers-by and new members. Perhaps someone is looking for information or our comments about the competition, mb/lexus, etc.. so they could find all such related posts grouped together. The same reasoning goes for all the sub-forums. They're taking shape, slowly but surely.
Just one more note, I don't mind when things are posted in the wrong forums. Most of the time its probably on purpose where people post items into the main E60 forum simply because it gets more traffic. Depending on my mood I would generally leave a post there for a day or so before moving it or just move it straight away so members could see it who otherwise might not. The link would remain for a while before it gets bumped down by new posts. The remaining link helps to direct traffic to the sub-forums too so it serves its purpose. Just a small comment there from me -- and hopefully no one takes offense if their posts get moved around.
So, back to the new sub-forum idea, whatcha think?

I think from the looks of things lately, we'll also need to add a rear reflectors sub-forum!
