What about a dedicated more door forum? Stop all this 2 door elitism for us that can see the light?

Hating more doors is a joke. ( dont think im being biased both E30s iv owned have been 2 doors ) but this too many doors thing is silly. Some of the nicest E30s are more doors. Kitchs e30 for EG. I wish sometimes mine was a more door so i could run full buckets without the bother of passengers entering the back

Your all quick to forget the FACT that E30 sales were flagging when it was first launched, why i hear you ask...........

Well, ill tell ya....... because it lacked a FOUR DOOR variant , thats why !!!!

2 doors were just unsuitable/awkward to get it too for most 80's thrusting executive types with families.

The saviour of BMW in the 80's, a 320 4 door auto !!!!!!

That is all, i have spoken.................

Easy on the back door gags, otherwise one of the resident perverts / miserable humourless coonts will be along

I think the sub forums for E46 etc is good idea

Think is good idea drifters get their own little section as E30 is popular car for drifting

As for stance scene am not really into that myself but why not. Plenty of E30s in the past and still do are not as in OEM spec. Very few are in complete OEM spec. OEM plus whatever that is don't count.

I can kind of understand some of the dislike for stance types but not drift types.

Think alot of decent steps been put in place to help improve the zone.

Should really be welcoming all E30 ppl

Also not sure if already done but any too questions include in a wiki or FAQ

And also recommendations section of e30 specialists that have been vetted and approved

I know for a fact there are members on here with drift and stance projects, done to the highest standard that are to afraid to post. A lot of our members are also members of Driftworks and Stancework, which are both exelent sites !

If you think the Zone is a OEM only site, then you're on the wrong site, all I've ever asked is that you enjoy your E30, and enjoy them we will

Good post

Am not into stance type myself but I do love bootyman s e30

How about a range of sub forums each with photo galleries/photo sections for the E30 model/engine variants;

316i's
- 2 door
- chromie
- facelift
- 4 door
- chromie
- facelift
- touring
- chromie
- facelift
- bmw convertible
- baur convertible

318i's
- as above

320i's
- as above

323i's
- as above

325i's
- as above

Obviously there'd be lots of other specs/tuning companies/aftermarket stance drift crap that could get its own sub forums.....it'd make finding specific tech help or pics for a users E30 model easy to find and give it good organisational structure.

Thoughts?

Funny u say that Pacer Pete
Back in the 90s every time I went to the high street I used to see lots of "stanced" E30s and E36s all the time. I also remember the very first time I saw E36 M3 Evo in Estoril Blue on Cranbrook Road. Looked stunning. Might have been the week I came home after spending a whole week in the power train design department at Lotus learning how to use CAD. Anyway back then used to despise all the stanced stuff.

When ever I go on M3 Cutters I do not really like the stanced E46 M3s. But maybe because the E30 owners they ain't many of us about now and does have a council image I don't mind it too much but u cannot beat a good OEM of any model for sure

I presume u are kidding but if u aren't this is OTT.

What about a 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder sub section or even a Sport (Bracknell Special section). Or is that too much segregation like in America back in the day blacks sat in the back of the bus and whites in the front ?
