OMG! BEN has gone again!!!

BEN (Bmw E30 Network) was my previous addiction before the zone. Used to be the best (i'm talking 4-5 years ago, when the zone was only a twinkle in lizzies eye!)

It went under about 2 years ago, nearly taking its owner ( a purtugues guy) under as well. It was succesfull, and everybody though it would never die.

Think its a warning to the zone (not that there are any problems of course) how easily forum's can come and go.

I know a lot of us used to use BEN and if it has gone may it RIP

Don't panic guys, I believe they are just having server trouble.

Here's a little known (until now :lol:

) address for the BEN backup forum. Everyone goes here when the BEN goes down.

Ove hasn't been on the network for nearly two years i think. Decided he needed to get out more....What a knowlege though!

Thought there was a back up site, but never found it before...
