The Bimmerfest forum is dead

A bunch of refugees from roadfly went to X5 World, now Xoutpost. I made great friends there.

I agree, Bimmerfest is dead. I don’t even look there anymore.

I was one of the first members of E46fanatics, and returned there when i went back and bought an E46 M3. I couldn't relate to anything, lol.

Hmmm! If you were one of the first members of E46Fanatics, your join date should show "1969" like mine, and you'd be considered one of the OG's. What's your username there?

Harvinator. They's were good times. I often wonder what happened to all of the old crew - I lost touch with the last ones around 2005.

We also had DTMpower back then too...that was a massive forum.

I never made it onto Bimmerfest, but is that where all the Roadfly/bimmer.org regulars ended up? Those guys were more of the purists and thought that we were all dumb kids with stupid mods...the irony of being on that side nowadays never escapes me

And bimmer.org was the true OG forum...man it sucks being able to personally trace BMW forum history to the dawn of the internet

I think I had a bimmerfest act but never posted, they were just too stuck up and frankly old in their look on cars. Always felt e46f and it's natural successor, this place, were the best.

I do believe BMW should hire some of us like minded ppl as consultants to give the company a good kick in the ass and remind it what made the brand great..

Thanks for the good memories everyone!

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
