  1. Technical Guides for the E90, E91, E92, E93, F30.
    What is the difference between the two? Maybe admin can comment? In both forums, members are asking questions and needing help. I tend to look in the Tech talk and miss posts in the tech guides section. Curious.

  3. BMW 8 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E31
    Sorry, but I cannot see the point of a sub-forum that automatically moves posts offering technical advice from the main "Technical Talk" forum to the more obscure "Technical Guides" sub-forum.
