E30 Zone

No see…..

Well it’s been a while since I’ve crept back in here and when I did I was met with bad news about members passing away.

Who’s still knocking about and still in the E30 club ?

Just a few hard core guy`s who dont go on Facebook.
We met once many years ago when we were both at Steve`s place in low moor.
Yeah we have lost a few very good people which was very surprising and saddening as well
You doing OK ??

Mart.

Us old Luddites that still love E30's

I’m relatively new here, so never met anyone in person, but on the Facebook thing, it drives me mad.
It has literally swooped everything up & put it all in one very crap place. I hate everything about it & wont use it, but that’s my loss perhaps. I won’t be going there though

I still use both, the Facebook page is OK but it gets swamped with idiots asking stupid questions that could be answered using Google or the E30Zone Wiki pages

I’ve still got the 325 which I’ve had for 29 years now, still going strong.
The M3 is in fine fettle also.

New addition was the E61 M5 Touring which I picked up 8 years ago.

Well I missed to early Zone because I drove my C1 323i for 12 years and parked it up 5 years before the Zone came into being. I had moved on to my E36 M3 and missed the whole thing.

Thankfully I had the space to park it up and never got rid of it. Sometime soon when time and health allows it will be getting a makeover back into the car it was.

That (I presume) oak garage looks lovely, as do the car’s obvious

Ditto, garage envy

Nice thread, thanks for sharing pics K. I haven't been on here in ages either.

Bit late even to the 'where are the old skoolers' thread but I don't visit that often as the E30 is parked up - brake master cylinder gave up (I assume) on the way to get an MOT last year sometime, and life got in the way.

And so I'm here to look for the brake master cylinder replace thread but I will spend a bit more time here, honest.

I still lurk about on here am following Spannerrash’s thread atm. Still got the m3 with s50b32 which I’ve had for 24 years now. It’s sick atm with no spark. It will get fixed at some point, think it’s a wiring issue. Always liked this site as a go to place when something goes wrong. Wiki is great, stops me asking stupid questions for simple things. e46 b3 is just about to turn 180k and going great. X5 4.6 just had a very painful operation (for me) gearbox rebuild but it has 175k clocked up. I’ll be lurking around for a while yet.

I'm still lurking - still in Germany but my long distance trips are over unless I get a random job - not so much these days, but the beast gets out on the road whenever possible, a good topless blast at 120mph on the autobahn feels fantastic as ever
