Whenever i get a different make of car, i always do a search for the relevant forums.
This place was the happy, for me, result.

By accident - After I bought my current E30

- wish I'd found it before as I would have known the problem areas. The E30's I've had before this one have all been minty mint in comparison
Was a member on e36coupe.com and just thought "I wonder if there's something like that for E30's"..........

I used to be a member of the BMWcar club and used that forum (now Bavarian Board which is always very quiet) and in the e30 section of that forum there was always comments about the zone.....I thought it was some secret inner circle.

A bloke approached me outside my girlfriends house near the Berrylands pub and told me about it. He had just come back from the pod the day before. I don't have a clue who this person was though, does it ring any bells with anyone??

Like Lee I have owned E30's for years but only stumled upon the zone just over a year ago, so I've had to cram in 8 years worth of posts over 12 months.

A mate, who owned 2 316i's sold me my 320i auto for fook all (that was sitting at the back of his house). He told me about the zone.
Uni is killing the project.

Googled 'e30 buying guide' or something when I spotted the brownie on ebay and up jumped the zone. Now all my friends have left and I sit around in my pants all day, sobbing softly. Maybe there's a connection?
