Posting to this board - are we losers...?

And oh I'm supposed to be at the office at 8am tomorrow (as if I couldn't check for new m5board pics there). So I guess, yes it would seem like I'm a big loser too. And a liar since "I had to run to the computer to do some quick online banking stuff" to cover up this late night car-obsessed act.

nice!..... count me in we are losers

[M CRISIS]

I can't believe you guys dug this up!! You should be crusiers not loosers!
Now get out there and drive..........

Hmm, an old thread resurrected.

Well, unemotionally speaking, lest we forget, the philosophy of the board is due credit -- the founders, administrators, moderators, and posters -- in addition to its presentation, ie: the prohibition of blaring, distracting, and obnoxious blinking GIF graphic signatures that serve nothing other than to further the sorry egos of the posters. Didn't mean this to sound rant-like...

[Laidback]

same here guilty as charged

Looks like we are all in good company. I am (im)patiently waiting for my beast to be built and arrive. Based on the scheduled build week and all the delivery variables, I hope to have it somewhere around 59.45 - 66.3 days from now, but who is counting!

I found this board as I was doing my daily (OK several times a day) search of Google for any M5 info that I could feed on. It has been a great tool in staving off the days of wait - let's just call it my personal M5 methadone! The guys here are great and the amount of information I have been able to get is amazing.

How bad do I have it? I have figured out how to log on and respond to posts from my Blackberry -- spent about 2 hours in the Luxembourg airport doing that yesterday. It is now 5 a.m. and I am sitting in my hotel in London "just checking" if there have been any new posts since I was last on 4.5 hours ago!

Call me loser with a capital "L". In this context, it is a label I will wear proadly!

I don't care what other people think about my internet activities...if I have to be a loser to love my car, then that's what I am!

Actually, I was surprised to find that an M5 board even existed. I expected most of the owners to be of an "older demographic" due to the car's cost, and typically a lot of 50+ folks really haven't figured out this whole Internet thing, especially social aspects like online forums.

(I'm an exception, of course, but I do this stuff for a living...)

I think I was wrong about the average age, though-- I seem to recall seeing a poll here that put most owners in the 30-40 range, with a few under-20s.

I wouldn't even want to know how much time I've spent on this board.. Don't post much but read just about everything about the M5.

I don't own an M5 but love reading about all of you guys expectations, deliverys, experiences, mods and pics!

I actually daydream about my own M5 and all the mods I'm going to do and where I would drive it etc etc etc.... Am I the only one who does this?....

So yes, I'm a loser as well...

[andrewsherman]

ZLaaten -- I just love your defineition of "much"

You don't post "much" - just >500 times.

I trust you won't mind if I use your definition of much when my wife asks how much the M5 costs -- I intend to say "Not much more than my 745 did".

If you make it to the NY area after October (my delivery date), get in touch. I owe you a ride!!!

[Zlaatan]

Yes well I've been a member for 4 years now so it depends how you look at it.

But yeah you still owe me a ride!! haha
