I'd like to know why some perfectly good photos get deleted without any explanation what so ever.

It gets annoying when we are lucky enough to spot a nice exotic and it gets deleted for no reason.

Here's an example. This spot was deleted today. I posted it last night. It was in the correct M5 category... decent quality... not dealer/garage/event shot... So why was it deleted??

Maybe some of you out there have had this happen as well.

I'd post only F10's... Or if it's a really really special E60.

There's a category for this. That's the point. So by definition, it is exotic in ES.com... If ES.com removed the category, I'd be fine with it. But if there's still a category, why go deleting shots like this?

And it's not just M5's either that get deleted for no reason. If you're gonna delete something legit, at least provide a reason for it. That's all I'm saying.

Anyone can pick one of these up for $20,000 and they are not rare, especially in LA. The M5 category is here for truly exceptional or impressive M5s. This is a nice car and one I would like to own but it is really not right for the site.

I'm sure you could upload MUCH better cars from Los Angeles so I don't see why this is even necessary to post.

M5 E39 are the most common of any M5 with the M5 E60 very close behind it.

I wouldn't post an M5 because I prefer to post "more important cars" but I have to be honest, In my entire life I have seen only 2 Bmw M5.

Don't get the wrong impression, guys. I have no problem that this shot was deleted... As ranking means nothing to me. That's not why I come here.

As I had stated before, its not just this specific car that gets deleted without explanation.

I love this site, and sharing my spots, and interacting with the community. But there are certain things like this that I wish they would improve upon.

That's all I have to say about that. Happy spotting!

I'm sure that all the shots that are deleted were so for a reason. If people post questionably exotic cars they should expect that there is a chance it might be removed. I highly doubt that quality photos of true exotic cars are being deleted.

The M5 category somehow needs to be a little more specific. I've only used for F10's.
