Try the other, more specialized BMW mailing lists?
There’s an entire WWW site that lists nothing but motorcycle mailing lists, including many BMW brand-specific ones. And if your topic is of more marginal interest, check the list of all known mailing lists. There’s a BMW Motorcycle technical list that may be just what you’re looking for. It’s maintained by us, the same folks who do the IBMWR mailing list. To subscribe, send an email message with the words “subscribe bmwtech (or bmwtech-digest)” as the body of the message. Or, for “discussions of long distance riding and the where, whys and hows,” send a message with “subscribe ldriders” as the entire the body of the message. For riders in (or interested in Europe), there’s ibmwr-euro. Play in the dirt? Try the GS list. Or email with “subscribe BMW-GS Your Name” as the message body. You may also want to consider subscribing to the BMW-oriented mailing list / electronic motorcycle club that’s dedicated to off-topic chat, jokes, and garter belts as to cycles: The Village Idiots.
