Welcome to the E36 Zone
Moderator: martauto
Dear Zoners,
The team here pay very close attention to the threads that get posted up, and in particular we try to identify trends or themes that that crop up on a regular basis.
Worryingly, it has come to our attention that the vast majority of threads being posted up these days all point to the E30 having some very serious inherent problems , which only seem to be geting worse with time.
Just look at the Technical Help forum, jam packed with examples of E30s with spluttering engines or clunky gearboxes. Or the Parts For Sale forum, brimming with parts from e30s that were too rusty or broken to be worth fixing. Even the briefest of peeks into the E30s For Sale forum reveals a growing trend of people who have actually reached the end of their tether and just want rid of their E30.
When we look at this as whole, there can be only one conclusion. E30s are doomed. The sooner we realise this, the better. That's why we hope you will all embrace the the new direction the forum is taking. It's time we move on, and modernise. E36s are very cheap at the moment, you should all be able to sell on or scrap your E30s and buy a replacement E36 without too much expense.
We look forward to seeing your new rides posted up in the photo gallery as and when you manage to purchase one.

I'd rather spend the night tied up wrapped in pvc and a red ball in my mouth, with Jhonno and Dave 'having a go' than swap the Edirty for a Edirtysh*t.
