BIMMERPOST poll for X5 owners! Please give us your input.

Jason · 02-26-2019, 03:21 PM

Question for our G05 X5 owners and enthusiasts!

Now that this G05 X5 forum has seen its activity hit new levels, would you prefer that we maintain the current setup of one single forum section for all G05 X5 discussions, or would you prefer if we created some additional sections for specific topics (i.e. Pricing/Ordering, Wheels/Tires, iDrive/Electronics, etc.)? This would provide the advantage of more organization, easier search, and easier to follow certain types of topics.

See our G30 5 Series forum for an example of how this would be organized: https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/index.php

Please vote in the poll above, and thanks for your input!

Yeah, the G05 seems to have hit a popularity level, where the posts have exploded. Break it up, to make sections manageable, instead of a ton of posts in just one forum.

avengerboater · 02-26-2019, 04:42 PM

Break it up, please.

BMW168 · 02-26-2019, 05:09 PM

Yes, please break it up.

bigdaveindubai · 02-26-2019, 05:39 PM

Just like the g30 forums please.

notanaudi · 02-26-2019, 07:09 PM

Let's get it organized by major topics
Pricing
Coding
Accessories
Builds
Etc
The search tool doesn't work very well they way things are laid out and then We get the hardo's that love to post pointing out it was already a topic

How about a sticky threads for production week, tracking cause early on every thread was like Macrumors iPhone launch.

MystroX5 · 02-26-2019, 07:23 PM

The vehicle is too complicated to not have specific sections to address just those areas. IDrive alone could have its own divided section of topics. There should always be a “general” section for new owners to ask broad questions. “Sticky threads” are a must for information purposes like resetting the iDrive, etc... I have answered the same question 20 times by now.

Create one for the new X6 separately Maybe ?

Couldn’t agree more. I find myself clicking through 10 pages of threads to find something I saw the other day.

Breaking it up is needed for it to be a productive/easy to use forum.

when doesn't poll close? the conclusion seeks rather clear at this point

Wild Blue · 02-27-2019, 11:24 AM

Can you create one subforum for all posts that might interest me, and another for the posts that won't?

Good one, and so true.

I get email flags when someone posts in a thread that I have posted in.

Search option is your friend.
