Dear members of firstfives.org,
I would like to apologize for "stealing" the name of your
group. I worked this weekend to add an E12 forum to bimmer.org
in response to several requests we received that a "first fives"
discussion area be added.
I personally was not familiar with either the E12 or firstfives.org,
and I just assumed that "first fives" was the name in common usage
for the E12, so that is the name I gave the forum on bimmer.org.
Now that someone has told me otherwise, I have corrected the mistake
and named the forum on bimmer.org in line with the other forums there,
e.g. "5-series (E12)".
Nothing on bimmer.org is intended to compete in any way with
firstfives.org, and I apologize for mistakenly thinking that
"first fives" was the common name for the E12.
