Just wondering I saw this site e30tech.com, you guys probably know it already and it looked familiar to e30zone.co.uk 8O . Even the way they post and even some sig pics!

Is e30tech.com affiliated with e30zone.co.uk or is this just them copying the best of the zone.???

It's the US e30 site, they're ok, the site is a little slow, but all good info and some very nice e30's!!

we do have some crossover members so a few sigs etc do appear on both.

as for the site looking similar, both are nuke PHPBB based forums and who can blame them for adopting a similar clean style.

some excellent info/help/people over there dudes. pop in and say hi, they dont like remote linking though or sigs that reflect other URLs :lol:

That's because they can put 3 Weber 48 carbs on an M30 or monster turbos that drink fuel without having to worry about it quite so much as us lot..

The danish site www.bmwe30.dk is fairly similar too ... if you click on forum then you get exactly the same looking site as this one !!!
