    Hey I am willing to donate a little something for this site and I am sure there are many others who would like to do so. With that we can prevent any such mishaps or catastrophes

    Lol people must think what a selfish bastard when they drive by. But hey I am the only one with a coupe in the house, the rest of the cars are SUV's. They can tackly that 0.4 inch show.

    I can't find the thread from when bimmerforums came back up from being down for a while. I want to find the story I posted about what happened to me while bimmerforums was down. Let's just say I hope it never happens again, or I will have to sue.

    I have no clue how I made it, but I did barely. When bimmerforums went down, at first, i thought it was a cruel joke. After staring at my monitor for 14 hours I finally realized it happened, they took it from me. I decided maybe it was my internet connection, so stayed up without sleep until 7 am and went over to my neighbors house to see if it worked there. It did not, and I did not go to work, because I was so depressed and tired. I was informed the next day I had been fired. I wasted my last paycheck on mods for my bmw so I had no money left for food. I stole a loaf of bread, and was caught, and sent to jail. While in Jail I was brutally raped and assaulted by a large man who smelled like moth balls. Luckily, after a few days, they took pity on me and let me out. I returned home to find my house ransacked and robbed because in my blind stupor I forgot to lock the door. I also noticed my bmw was missing, someone found the keys inside and stole it. The only thing the thieves left was my collection of Barbara Streisand cd's. It is bad enough to be robbed, but to be robbed by thieves with no taste, how terrible. I spent the next couple of days crumpled in a lifeless heap on the living room floor. Luckily, while on the floor, as life was at its all time low, I noticed a european car magazine laying next to the fireplace. I opened it up, and I saw a beautiful phoenix yellow m3. This m3 reminded me of how without my bmw I would not be able to live. Without a computer to even log on bimmerforums to be consoled by fellow bmw owners only made it worse. I gathered up any objects I had left in the house, kitchen utensils, napkins, and proceded to a pawn shop to get some money to live. While crossing the street I was hit by a bus. I awoke in the hospital, informed that my insurance would cover everything. Luckily a friend brought a notebook pc to the hospital, and I am now able to log onto bimmerforums and see that it is up. Please never go down again, I can't go through this again. The only upside is that I will be awarded a large settlement from the company of the bus that hit me. I will finally be able to purchase the m3 I have wanted so bad. However, since my left leg will not function like it used to, I will have to get SMG. This is a small downside, but bimmerforums, you cost me my job, my possesions, but in the end it all worked out. Lets never fight again.

    I own nothing.
    I'd die. I'd have to enter Betty Ford clinic. I would have very little use for a computer.

    or I would go to clubrx-7.com and start hanging out there more often.

    Oh God... if BF.c were to ever go down, I'm be spending every waking moment trying to fix it... my email would be growing exponentially as it filled up with questions of why and when it will be back and my cell phone would be ringing off the hook at the admins try to find me feverishly to make sure I do nothing else but fix the problem.

    BF.c go down... never mention those words again.
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
