Default Off topic - BMW question

Is there any site like this for BMW where the people actually pay attention and answer questions? I am considering another purchase and I would like informed information, specifically regarding 335/135 and limited slip.

Pelican and bimmerfest are sometimes helpful. The M5board.com is awesome, but I don't think it covers the models you are interested in.

I had great luck on the Roadfly board when I had my Z3. Not sure if the non-Z Roadfly boards are as good. But it was great.

Loved my bimmer, good luck with your purchase.

It's a thing with four doors that can be used when:

1. The roads are covered with salted slush (called winter over here)
2. When you need to transport more than one passenger

They do have some advantages; it's german build quality and they are cheap

Happy holidays!

That was an inside joke between my friend and I.
I do actually like a couple BMW's. The Z8 and the M6 Coupe.

The problem with many forums is that they are either diluted with a bunch of poor young people who don't know how to do anything or a bunch of rich old people that just buy the cars and do not know anything about them.

Alan, check out Bimmerfest and go to the Ask A Dealer forum. Some very knowledgeable and helpful guys who are in the biz there.

Thanks guys -- I checked a few of those websites and some are certainly better then others. The ask the dealer is a nice touch as well.
