Main UK BMW forum?

Hi all. Is this forum the main BMW forum for the UK? (I mean this one ... bimmerpost.com)
...I'm confused (not too tricky TBF).
The bulk of this site seems to be very USA orientated (except this bit, UK classifieds and UK off topic).
I've tried going on https://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/ (as shown in attachment) but the pages take ages to load and when they do it says there are no posts!
I've just bought a 428i and I have lots of questions, some of which are UK biased.
TIA Chris

Thanks Rich. So what is bimmerforums.co.uk and any idea why it isn't working proper?
I've tried 3 different browsers and it doesn't work on any of them!

The site is working fine for me, loading ok and new posts visible.
Not that I found anything worth looking at though, this is by far the best place to be

bimmerforums used to be pretty big but it shut down for a loooooong time, can’t quite remember why, looks like it’s been restarted....

Posts work fine on there for me, but not looked at it for well over a year as thought it was a goner.

There used to be BMWLand which was excellent until it closed due to the sad passing of its owner. It was this closing that made me migrate over to E90 & now F30 posts.

Cheers guys.
It just took a while to get used to how this site is constructed.
Am I right in thinking that there's the overall umbrella site 'bimmerpost.com' sub sites for the various models (e.g. F30POST) and then just 3 sections 'UK', 'UK-Classifieds' and 'UK- Off topic'?
I've just never seen a forum laid out like this before
Cheers Chris
