I understand your point about links disappearing, but unfortunately convenience is not an excuse for breaking the law. Links moving/disappearing is a fundamental problem with the internet, which is partially alleviated by things like archive.org.

Just explain that you try to save som of the old e36 diy, before they all becomes deadlinks.

However, I see many BMW E36 websites that end up with dead link and thus, lost information. This is what makes me copy the text as well (I only copied the 6-cylinder DIY). What brought this idea to me is that I usually search for DIY procedures and everytime I find some nice one, I end with a dead link. This is a huge problem epecially if you're trying to maintain these links and keep checking on them. It can be a nightmare. Do you think that what I have made in this post is illegal in someway? Mika,

If not, I don't think you should be reposting the entire thing, including all the pictures. Linking to it would be acceptable of course.
