Link to the old site that may help you find old topics


Recommended Posts

Here's a link to the previous site on web archive:

https://web.archive.org/web/20220331081551/https://forum.bmw5.co.uk

 

Whilst some links are dead and it’s a bit of a faff and slow nut if you play with the capture date and settings you can access quite a lot so if people had an interesting thread/ how too or are searching for an old topic etc its worth taking a little time to see what you can extract and repost.

 

Or are searching for an old topic that they copy the important information and make a new post to repopulate the new site that would incredibly helpful!

 

Anything you can recover and repost would incredibly helpful and will help us and others.

 

So, for instance to extract the E39 mileage thread I did this:

 

Went to https://web.archive.org/web/20210616084801/https://forum.bmw5.co.uk/

 

and clicked on 39 tech section:

You can see in top right how many captures there has been, so click on that...

You can then see a dot on 17th Jan 2022 so click here...

And, you get a link to the snap shot. So, by playing about with dates of snapshots you can recover stuff, as is say we can't do it all but we should be able to recover some knowledge!
