Does anyone know what happened to this site? It hasn't been updated in forever. Sad to see such a useful resource go away.

it appears, that it's owner is looking for someone to take it over and continue it.

I know it is not the same but carsdirect.com seems pretty accurate with their website in terms of knowing how option packages align, correct MSRP and invoices, etc. if you are using it for getting $$ amounts, I typically defer to that site.

For invoice $ use 92% of MSRP for the car and 91% for options and then round it up/down to the nearest $5. It always gets me very close.

I am behind BmwConfig.
When I started it a couple years ago, there were fewer BMWs, fewer trims, no lines... In a nutshell: the number of combinations makes it hard for a single body to maintain... So yes I fell behind.
I am not trying to sell it, or get rid of it as suggested above, but I would have liked to find other people passionate enough to be involved.
Some did show signs of interest, but got overwhelmed rapidly.

BmwConfig is not dead, but I can't do it alone

I can imagine it is quite a task to keep up with. If I knew anything about programming anymore, I would help, but it's been 20 years since I've written any code.

Thank you for replying! I've always been impressed at how comprehensive the site is. I'm not sure if this is the right time/place for this, but maybe you could share the type of help you would need to keep it going. Is it software development work, data entry, or maybe sourcing pricing information from somewhere? There are a lot of passionate members in these forums and I'd imagine that there would be people willing to help if they knew there was a need.

BMWconfig is a great website. David always speaks highly about it. Feel free to contact him anytime if you need any updates on anything BMW.

All of the above! ;-)

The front-end needs to be rewritten since it does not work well on Mac for example. Also the database has a hard time dealing with the 'lines' introduced last year, so there is also work to be performed on the back-end.
When this is done, the content needs to be maintained to reflect new models, new MY, or simply changes to the available equipment

I'm interested in pricing out ED invoice for a 2014 328i xDrive Wagon with various different options. Would you share the ED invoice prices data for the different lines/options in any format as an interim measure even while bmwconfig is updated? Noone seems to have shared this so far. P.S. a recommendation for a dealer near Philadelphia for ED would also be appreciated.

You cannot jack this thread. This is a valuable one and pretty sure personal requests like yours will get more attention and answers in a separate thread.

Follow the forum rules mate.

Bump for getting some help for BMWConfig!

[Crazy'boutBimmers]

Hi ParisSF, bmwconfig is still not online, so I assume you still need help with the tool - please pass me on what the website is built on, and other details. I would like to help out on the tool. I am a software developer by profession and have used the site extensively for getting my F30. I hope we can get it working soon. PM me the details, so I get it on my email, as I don't log here regularly.

[jd_perspective]

was good until it stopped working well. not sure what happened but very finicky on my mac and pc.

to the founder - not sure the situation but maybe some sponsors can help out in funding and you can hire someone? just saying - could make a buck.
