    I am wondering is the forum is active as I am considering buying a 2017 740D x drive and I am wondering about service cost compared to my lexus GS450H?

    I'm wondering the same thing. It's not the same since the "upgrade".

    Bmw will be definitely more expensive to run then Lexus. Plus Lexus will still be a bit stronger built, but BMW will definitely be nicer.


    As for how alive this place is? Well, new mobile version of it is so off putting, clunky amd with so much unnecessary crap in it, that I won't be surprised people come here less and less. I know I am. This new update might be the final nail in a coffin, unfortunately.


    Bring back old mobile touch version!

    Same, stopped looking on my phone. Terrible "upgrade". Look at site much less often on laptop now too.

    Fairly strange they upgraded the forum to a new server and still tried to make it look 15 years out of date AND managed to remove functionality in the process....

    Same here. I think I have posted once since the upgrade....this post is my second. I don't know, because I can't find my post history!!! They really messed up with the "upgrade". Boards is on the death bed.

    Stay Free

    It is....the OP post should prob be in the 'buying' sub forum as it's about buying a specific car...

    Those giving out, can give feedback here - https://boards.ie/categories/feedback

    (But at least give them a chance to sort)
