That or, us Beemerphiles aren't generally "joiners."

Thing is, on TMC we gotta have 20 members before the group shows up on the main forum index.

I just deleted two "members" who joined and haven't posted anything anywhere on TMC. Why have 'placeholders' ?

That prevents them from reading the BMW forum though. While many of us are of a loquacious nature, some people just join to read and learn what they can gleam from the postings.

It's a brand thing. I like the idea of Euro Bikes.

Well, obviously one of the "placeholders" is a lurker. They just re-applied.

Sorry.

Only 13 people in the group so far? I can't believe only 13 TMW members have (or are fans of) Beemers.

Maybe I could join, my dad owns a BMW. Is that good enough to help your cause?
