e90post.com's Most Hated Question

Adham · 03-20-2007, 11:28 AM

does software void my warranty?
does suspension void my warranty?
does being on e90post void my warranty?

haha i cant believe that hasnt been mentioned yet.

BUT we should be more patient.

Paul330d · 03-20-2007, 11:31 AM

"WTF is a 330d? Never seen that before"

Otherwise, obviously the interminable questions/polls about which colour combination they should get!

montreal_bimmer · 03-20-2007, 11:31 AM

OMFG, people in the wheel and tires forum there are so many of these threads started.....

Also the odd "WTF is a 330dA?" question

HyperM3 · 03-20-2007, 11:36 AM

I totally forgot. The one thats so effing annoying is "Will the 335 beat X car?"

Give it a rest. You wont race anyone unless you get off the damn computer.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that one

Other spin offs include:

- when is the US going to, sorry 'gonna' get diesel?
- can we get lemon in the US?, and of course:
- how hard is lemon to keep clean? (as if there's an empirical answer, like 7.2...)

E91AWD · 03-20-2007, 11:50 AM

The "which color should I choose" drives me nuts. Do you mean you are smart enough and capable enough to have selected a very sophisticatedly engineered machine, but you don't know what color to get? Next thing we will be hearing is "does anyone know where I can get a larger after-market glove box?".

I read that it's actually more like 8.8, but black is an easy 4.1

does modding void my warranty???

I can get one of those?

montreal_bimmer · 03-20-2007, 11:56 AM

what pisses me off more than stupid questions is when the original poster starts acting fresh because members are flaming him for asking a dumb question. no need for name calling, just say you're sorry, and do a search

montreal_bimmer · 03-20-2007, 11:57 AM

also people that start the same thread in multiple forums just to show off their car

Jaws · 03-20-2007, 12:07 PM

I'm going on a long trip. What should I do to my car before I go?

No, when you stop asking questions where the response is "Search".

canucklion · 03-20-2007, 12:18 PM

no, when your post count is > 4,000

I, too, can be a smartass like you

See, I am still a n00b.

TonyLukes3 · 03-20-2007, 12:23 PM

I picked color. But like some others have said, the most annoying thing is when I click on a post and have difficulty trying to read their 1st grade reading-level English (or worse, ghetto slang)

STE92VE · 03-20-2007, 12:27 PM

How do you post on a thread?

1. When you no longer post questions like that one to long time members.
2. When you have read the owners manual and don't ask "how do I get my side mirror to go down?"
3. When you readily admit that you are far from being an expert, but you have some practical knowledge and are just as willing to share it as to receive more.

It has nothing to do with post counts or join dates. Some of our best members came in the door with great knowledge and made immediate contributions. Others have been here for over a year and still ask dumb questions...

Theres a difference between the English level and the slang. I cant stand the slang but there are a lot of international owners here who dont have the language down. Lets cut them a little slack as they are trying as hard as they can to connect with us.
