Re: pale in comparison
Cabrio_Ken,..
I hope u dont find too much flames or anything of that nature that might have turned you off completely given the strong opinions and arguments that have been put forward so far by our brother forumers here. I always value people's opinions, sometimes differing ones are more useful than yes-sir-all-the-time kind of scenario. After all, it's a forum. One has the choice to participate or not.
Believe what I am bout to say here..
This forum is comprehensive...It has all sorts of things under one roof, u know I know. We talk bout all sorts of things, from BMW cars to other marques to even discussions bout group outing etc. That is comprehensive.
To be honest with u, if this forum is just bout car, ie. BMW cars discusssions and their bazaar for parts, I would surely find it boring. If this forum only allows BMW Car owners, then it's discrimination isn't it? What should we do to our brothers here who drove BMW before? Ask them to leave? Human touch is more important than anything else here dude. Face it!
Nothing is perfect but we DO constantly improve our website by adding this and that. We have galleries, we have knowledge database, we have a team of moderators in place. I couldn't ask for more.

just hoping that this web site can be more comprehensive or better
it seems that only porsche owners are allow to join the club making it squarely with one objective . to enhance the overall driving experience of driving a porsche.

Re: pale in comparison
Leslie,
Actually, if you want me to do the forum, i would glady do it for free, and customise it so that it'll look very distinctively porsche.sg style. Hosting should be no issue as well. Think 200$ a year should suffice. Hosting costs i mean.
I'm willing to do all design issues and handle the tech side of things FOC. I don't know any members of the porsche club except you and ckl, so let me know if you got a willing audience and i'll work on it asap.
Let me know. I've already got plans to do merc.sg and let our enthusiastic mixmaster run it...but i've been held by new projects and work. Other than that, let me know how it goes!
Crap man, been a bum too long.

You really should learn to either live with how things are here, be constructive, meet up and participate with the other members here....
Or go buy a porsche.
But it doesnt guarantee that you will be accepted into PCS. Someone has to like you enough to nominate you first....

Wonder if this post upset Cabrio Ken since Im not a bimmer owner (as my sig displayed) anymore.
Abosulety not bro..no need to wonder..
Who knows someday u will buy E90M3? ...
Of course.. of course...
Yeah bro, hope to own an M3 oneday. But most likely E46 one. Brand new pocket not deep enuf.
Wow I've never seen Les this irritated (?) . I don't even recall getting a similar reaction back in the 600 posts-in-a-thread days with Clarence.
But seriously, many clubs locally and worldwide, are open clubs and anyone who can contribute is welcome. I don't think BMW is elite enough (unlike Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo) to require or justify making it purely private.
The current BMWsg forum structure and demographic still allow for the discussion of BMW related discussion and obtaining of answers - often within the same day.
Actually all the above is rubbish.. I just don't want to get kicked out of here hahha. Have never owned a BMW, and it is highly likely I'll choose to buy a BMW anytime soon (next 15 years).
Cabrio_ken, I don't think you meant to offend anyone with your post. You seem to really want a purely BMW focused club. It is just funny when you haven't really had a specific query, answering of which has been disrupted by non-BMW-owners. If you have questions or topics you want to discuss, just go ahead and you'll certainly find out what you seek to.

Of course man, I dont think anyone will kick you out fo BMW.SG. hahaha!
But ona more serious note, at the end of the day, I agree with what Jack has said that whats most important is the human factor. Given that all of us are and will continue to be different, it is good that everyone has a means to express themselves.
I am sure that all of us have benefited one way or another from someone who does not necessarily share the same views. And in so doing, we all can learn and grow.
That being said, I hope that BMW.SG can continue to be what it is today and that is a continually evolving and dynamic forum! Cheers!

I told Ryan that my one concern about him setting up MERC.SG or any other car forum is that it will canibalise the postings on this BMW.SG forum.
I would be less inclined to posts on another local car forum if I know that there are not that much human traffic or eyeballs reading my posts there. It's like a tree falling to the ground in Siberia - nobody would hear it.
I am not sure if others are like me, but I don't really have time to go to any other local car forums to post and read. I come here because I know that I am among friends and I can get all my entertainment here.

You are so right! I have just moved office so dealing with new work, new every bloody thing and this is the first evening when things have calmed down a bit (finally have time to pee!) and when I log on to the net on the new coy pc, the first thing I do is find the forum and bookmark it.
3 cheers to BMW.SG
Ryan,
Thank you for you kind offer. Will float it to the com and see what they say.

Yup. One BMW-sg is enuff.
