WOW! I did not think you guys would react this way.
Well, lets see. I did look at the gallery. And since I am in Okinawa Japan and the (military sales) dealer here has one car for show, I cant just go to the dealer to see what they have. We will be ordering the car and it will be delivered to Nevada for us in Jan. I have a brochure and they are the same as the colors shown online. I was hoping to see different color combos other than what is shown on the web page. Yes, I know you can see all the exterior colors but somehow a personal photo looks different.
Thank you though for helping me out (not). Somehow I thought people would actually want to show off their car. Guess not.

I think you're overracting a little, but you provided little information about what and why
you were looking for pics.
If you're buying it through the military program there... it's a good deal. I was stationed in
Okinawa at Kinser for 3 years... so I know the programs that are offered. From the below link you
should find tons of pics of the E90 right from the front page.

i'm sure you can also hit up a local Japanese BMW dealership or two. (altho, if you aren't in the big city like Tokyo, it might be hard to come by, it won't hurt to find out, right?)
not to stereotype, but they are besides themselves when they encounter an english speaker. i'm sure they'll be helpful.

Hello everyone, I was just visiting your forum looking for some information when I stumbled across this thread. There is a new person to the scene, who shares the same interests as you and all you can do is shut them down. She's right, " i didn't expect you guys to react this way" All she wants is some help and your trying to correct her. I thought you loved your cars, that's why your here isn't it, why not show it to her, all of us. Get off your high horse and share the love.
I honestly can't beleive you reacted this way. Jmead at the end was the saving grace.
Don't tell them where to go, don't be defensive, simply tell us what you have and be happy about it. This is a forum and often the impact of typed words is underestimated, so we have to be friendly. Big Daddy, I hope your reading this, despite your million posts
Good luck on your hunt Cynthia (newbuyer) I hope you will return, despite the unecessary tone found here.

James (Choo) I have no idea why you have decided to make a personal attack against me here. All I did was respond to the post by advisng the poster to look in the gallery. Why repost photos of members cars here when we have a gallery, isn't that what it is for? I had no way of knowing that she had already looked in the gallery, nor did I have any way of knowing she was in Japan and not California, assuming that has any bearing at all. And if members at the time did not own any e90's that they could post photos of I am sorry. Maybe you should apologize for personal attacks and in the future try and follow the Terms of Service you agreed to!
I just want people to be friendly.
I understood newbuyer's plight.
she just wanted to hear of your car.
As I said, it's probably just the tone of these messages, not you or anyone in partitular, it's just hard to read sometimes, so I think we have to be a little more sensitive to that. We love our cars.
How about "Hey Cynthia, have you checked out the members gallery, there are some great pictures of our cars there. If you would like to know anything else, let us know, welcome to the world of BMW"

I do not have an e90 so she could not want to hear of my car, as noted in my profile I have an M roadster. How do you get a "tone" from of my message I am pointing out the gallery that is all. And if it is not "you or anyone in partitular (sic)" than why did you single me out, and make the "million post" comment?
I think if either of us wishes to comment further it should be via PM's not included in a post.

I have to agree with the mods there was no tone here, sometimes people just randomly go off with their "you didn't have to be so rude" comments. I understand that some people feel apprehensive when joining a new forum, but it's a little rediculous to cry victim and ask for sympathy because they weren't welcomed with sensitivity and spoken to in an effeminate disney-world-like tone. The forum is a place for questions and information, at least thats the way I see it, not for attention.
You can also search on www.cardomain.com It's a website for people to show off their cars. If the gallery doesn't have enough, you can check that site out. They all should be personal pics.
