bm3w and other uk forums

[M3_DM]

Hello. I've just signed up here. Seems like theres some delays with bm3w getting back online and wondered if there were any similar UK forums to visit.

Edit: Just been looking through some of the threads I suppose I could make this my temporary home for the time being. I drive a 2004 Silver Grey E46 M3 with imola red leather. We all know what they look like but here is mine:

BM3W will be back shortly.

[call]

I'm on a 53 plate but otherwise same as mine. Very nice.

[M3_DM]

In other words Call the BEST colour combination. Ha ha.

So any specific date for BM3W's return? I assume its techincal issues and not the legal problems they encountered....

The server is being physically relocated from one datacentre to another. It may be back in the next few days IF all goes to plan.

I will believe that when i see it!!

They must be walking it from a data centre in Dublin to one in Amsterdam for it to take this long.

I will eat my hat if it comes back, and luckily it is made of chocolate with smarties on the front so wont be too painful if I am wrong.

Cracking car by the way!!! Love the imola red leather... was trying to get that for my latest toy, but settled on the black / black combo. Nice photography too!

[M3_DM]

Thanks for that. I wish I had time to take more photos to be honest. Could do with some tips off a few experts as well on where I'm going wrong. Not got an expensive camera or anything its a canon 300d but even so I think I struggle to get the best out of it sometimes. Ha ha.

[BRoCceRs]

Photos look ok to me.

Moving the server isn't the #1 priority in everyones lives.. things like DAY JOBS, SOCIAL LIVES and BEING LET DOWN AFTER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE (twice), etc, all delay things. It's only a hobby thing.

Well said, these guys put alot of their own time into the site for nothing, its taken some time to get sorted but it WILL be back soon!

HURRY UP.

I managed to jet wash the deck and garage at the weekend and didnt want to do it BUT DID all in one afternoon so whats the problem with moving a few servers.

Do they need to borrow the pick up truck?

I have a feeling you might not be getting back in when the server's back up.

[shim]

why

isnt humour allowed!!

Very nice colour combo. I was looking for the same, but then fell in love with Imola Red....

That last picture is great.

Matt (rightly) gets pissed off at people demanding things of him (even in jest) when he has spent a lot of his own time and money running bm3w.

[M3_DM]

Its such a good site he can take a year over it if he wants, as long as it returns!!!

I think silver grey, steel grey, and black all look stunning with the red leather. But I'm yet to see ANY M3 that doesn't look stunning when its cleaned up to be honest ha ha ha. I saw a dark purple one on my travels today. Not a very popular colour but that looked amazing too.

[shim]

i just miss the site (a little more than is healthy possibly)

[mrontheropes]

Won't be long now Give it a few hours...
Eat your hat, Shimmmy
