Subsections?


Recommended Posts

Noob here -

Started looking for a couple of things in the "02 General Discussion" forum, and quickly found myself a bit frustrated - threads on all kinds of topics in no particular subject-matter order.

Given that many, perhaps a majority, of the threads pertain to some kind of technical or mechanical issue, I think having sub-sections or sub-forums under the general forum heading would help people at least start with threads that are relevant to the general area for which they are searching.

For instance - and this is true only as I write this - of the first 20 threads on the forum, I found:

4 pertaining to engine issues

1 pertaining to body issues

2 pertaining to wheel and tire issues

1 pertaining to transmission/differential issues

3 pertaining to suspension issues

1 pertaining to steering issues

1 pertaining to interior issues

2 pertaining to carb issues

1 pertaining to lubrication issues

4 pertaining to what I'd consider "general" subjects

While it might be overkill to have things divided up by the numerical code used to refer to various parts or maintenance/repair procedures (example: 13 for the fuel system but 16 for the fuel tank), maybe having 10 or 12 fairly broad sub-forums would help (brakes, electrical, engine, cooling, body, wheels/tires, trans/diff, suspension, exhaust, etc).

Just a thought.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive, well-preserved body. You should skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body totally used up, screaming "WOO HOO! What a ride!!"

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
