The way we seem to be going towards handles that though, right? i.e. in the case you suggest we drop in a new e90 (or whatever) section along with a new problems (etc) section.Z4 Beemer wrote:Also worth considering how the next model i.e. the one after the E89 will "fit" into the structure... assuming of course there is a direct replacement.
Nice suggestions... I like the gallery idea... not sure about separate sections for the car types but I like the concept of separating the photo compAdamski wrote:Ok - I have finished thinking

Thanks... you make some good points there, some of which I have been thinking about myself. I don't want to split the forum or make clique groups, so we do have to consider that.Nosa wrote:I think the set up is fine pretty much as is, maybe a wee touch here and there but no more, reason for that is the more sections you have it initself will make it seem a bit fussy, messy and to an extent promoting clique-ism if thats a word, I enjoy ythe banter from all types of owners and I fear that if there is individual sections for different models then peeps may tend to haunt their specific sections and not "mingle" as much.
For me I think the only section that should incorporate Model specific is the Problems thread.
Just my opinion but if it aint broke don't fix it.

1) split out the E89s and replicate the subdivisions that exist for the E85/E86
2) obviously the E89 don't need separate Detailing & Bodywork, Gallery or Dealer Feedback, so they could sit within the "General" section alongside Meets, the Lounge, etc.
3) IMO the E85/E86 don't need separated...
Starting with the existing sections/format, how about (modified bits in italics):

Lump you in beside the E85/E86 ///M Specific section? Or is too much of an insult?markeg wrote:How about a section for us alpina users..... think there's about 6 of us
Interesting one... Alpinas are definitely worth a mention, but not sure the traffic would warrant a whole section to itself, so in with the M's might be an idea?a11y wrote:Lump you in beside the E85/E86 ///M Specific section?
