Tried to respond to a PM from ASAP; got the same error message.

Hey how many posts exactly do I need to enable pm?

F15X5Dz · 02-24-2026, 12:46 PM

I assume this is based on post reply count and not a option in the settings?

Finding it really weird that it's a different amount of posts for everyone, doesn't seem equal or logical hahah

Working on getting my number of posts in so I can PM

Sadly, I've been on this forum for over a year and have found it ridiculously helpful - all the info I've been gathering and using to improve my little 328d has been amazing. But of course I can't PM anyone since I have a whopping one post, so since this seems to be a pretty 'safe place' to post, I'm gonna drop some posts here and hope for the best moving forward. Strange days...
(is this where I wait for the flame posts explaining how I'm 'doing it wrong'?)

From what I read in a different bimmerpost car forum, it’s 5 verified post replies and 7 days after account creation

Hi everyone,

I’ve just joined the community and I’m happy to be here. I noticed that I currently don't have permission to create new threads or send private messages.

Could you please let me know what the requirements are to be fully enabled? Is there a mandatory waiting period or a minimum number of posts I need to reach first?

Thanks for your help!
