E30 Zone

Ive just noticed on certain other bmw forums ie: e36coupe and bmw5 that there was a south devon meeting, cruise and pub lunch on the moors sunday just gone 30th march. How come no zoners were invited? Bit of bmw snobbery me thinks!

obviously feeling by far inferiour!

Hmmm, iv noticed a few other cars turning up to the Scottish meets i.e e34's and e36's but i dont mind More the merrier really.

E30 forum.... E30's invited

That's what it's all about.

Granted..however the same meet was posted on both forums. It was posted on here last year as i went in my M3. It was open to all...but obviously not this year. Like Hammo says the more the merrier..we are all enthusiasts. Chedder Gorge last year had a good mix of everything.

we have our ashford meet and we mix with bmw5 ok there however me nelly and zaust ventured to an e36 coupe.com meet and it was just full of lil boys in daddys 7series and blokes driving pink e36's surrounded by lots of e36 m3 looka likeies

Maybe no connection at all but at a Dartmoor meet a couple of years ago where there was a mix of E30s and E36`s.Really good meet but later on that day when everyone got home some of the E36 girls were moaning saying the E30 boys were flicking stones up in front of them at junctions
I pt a post up on E36coupe for the last SouthWest meet.....not one single reply so can only assume its because of the above.

FOOK EM

Thats probably why then!! I remember the incident being posted on here..something to do with donuts in the carpark?! Why dont we organise our own meet? There seems to be enough of us in the southwest..and a couple of laydeees!!

Yeah I saw it just after it was listed.Looks lovely but there again im one of the few resident `chromie` fans on here.Not a big fan of Green cars though although it still suits the car.Unfortunately no room here either.....driveway full of E30`s as per usual
Meet on Dartmoor in the summer would be cool,ill have my Black one finished easily by then.
O/T sorted your gearbox troubles?

Like you mate i appreciate a low mileage well looked after car..no matter what it is. Ive got myself a replacement box and its being fitted this week. Would have been earlier but my mate who is fitting it had a motorbike accident on dartmoor on sunday. The sheep came off worse!!

Quite rare to see a 4-door apparently with no sunroof. What's that multi-way switch next to the handbrake? Liking those tasteful graveyard shots...

I like E30's so when I go to a meet I want to see E30's. We could post our meets on other forums but people would probably have the same opinion of their model of cars, when they do mix its ok

southwest meets are allways fun, im up for one this summer, or spring, or next week

He was over taking a slow moving convoy of e36's and 5's!! No..he was test riding his mates bike and a sheep walked out in front of him. He killed the sheep, the bike and nearly himself!! The farmers chasing him for compensation. He thinks he'll be back to work tomorrow and get on with my car as soon as. He's got a very tidy dolphin grey tec2 325i sport..should stick to that i reckon!

Whats the best way to go about organising a meet? What sort of numbers and location etc?

Agreed and bmw meets like ashford and brighton all are welcome and are advertised as a bmw meet

M3Marco ... Thought it was a pun to sell your car thats all .

Nope im still here and it was delicious , Thanks for the concern

We were returning from a week in Cornwall & called in at the Tamar bridge part of the meet for 15 mins to look over the motors there, all present seemed friendly enough but I can't remember which site I saw the meet advertised on.
