Anyone try out BMW Xplor?

http://www.bmwxplor.com/ is the site if you haven't seen it yet.
It's seems to be a cross between myspace for BMW owners and a few forums and some ride/mapping tools. You need to enter your VIN # to access the site so it's for owners only.
The forums are definitely not on par with the features we have here though you can upload your own photos and there's a feature called My Rides which I have yet to totally figure out. It seems kind of difficult and not really sure what the value is --especially since when you set up/track your ride it doesn't really follow the roads you click on and it just seems to be more trouble than it's worth --at least initially.
Still it's kind of fun to play around at and the one useful feature is information about BMW events, rides and rallys. But for information and experiences about BMW Roadsters I will still use this as my most trusted source. If you have figured out a use for the "rides" feature by all means do share it though!
