New to group

Hi, I'm Ray. I have an '04 325i which I've been trying to kill since new.
It's holding up pretty well. I've just starting reading the group. Is there
a FAQ or should I just jump right in with a frequenly asked question?


TIA

Ray,

Google Groups is a good bet. Or just ask. The worst that could happen
is you'd get ignored...

first thing i'd do is remove your proper email address when posting to this or
any newsgroup...don't say i didn't warn you lol

The second thing to do is make sure you do not post to a Text Only group in
HTML or Rich Text.

And don't top post
And use a proper sig separator (dash dash space).

Oh, the irony.

Tilting at windmills...but I heartily endorse your advice.

When I first started in NG's I used a special e-mail address but it was a
'real' one. Fairly soon I noticed so many strange addresses and eventually
twigged why. Changed to a fake address.

And...sure enough...some weeks later I started received spam to this special
address. It was quite a salutory lesson about the cyber-dangers.

Actually, top posting is common in gear head forums.

Thanks for the replies.

That's what I get for using outlook express instead of agent.

Anyway, here's the question: does anyone go to the dealer for service after
the warranty is up? I'm due for 'inspection' whatever that means, plue oil
service and PA State Inspection as well. I really have no desire to give
another dime to the dealer, at least not until I have to get a new car. So
in the meantime, where do other cheapskate BMW owners get their cars
serviced?
