To BimmerPost: I've always worked on my BMWs, starting when we used the Haynes Repair Manuals (& "Autobook"?). That lead to internet forums like "Duane's Garage", which as my BMWs got huge & modern lead me here .

To Off-Topic Asylum: I have no idea.

I've busted friends balls over not parking in gear and only trusting the parking brake.
It's rather impressive you were able to stop the car, don't think I'd of managed that.

I remember when my friend thought 4th gear was the same as 1st gear for parking.

Seriously though, bought my first F30 back in 2012 and I always like to know as much as I can about the car/bike I own so here I am.

Don’t really get involved in the On Topic sections anymore, they just go round in cycles. What oil, what fuel, how do I lift the wipers, and so on so I primarily stick the OT.

I'm honestly surprised myself. I had never tried to push or to stop a rolling convertible before. I was incredibly sore for about a week.

I used to hate BMWs. I had owned other vehicles, mainly Jeeps, until this car. A friend had a 2006 E90 she needed help with, and I ended up finding this forum and fixing a lot of the stuff that was wrong with it. That turned into me working on a few family members' E46s and other BMWs. Sure enough I had car guy friends with BMWs before long and ended up buying an E90 for myself 4 years ago.

Been here ever since. I still own a Jeep Wrangler, and it's interesting how similar the communities are.
