Hi all,
Will somebody be so kind and tell me the history of E-30 zone.
Thank you, Mart.

Im sure it all started off at a TBMW shoot or something like that, where Steve, Lizzie, M3gtr, STE and Duncan decided to create a website which gave lots of information about E30s and the idea developed into a Forum!

None of those people remain on the zone today. (maybe STE with his webdesign skills?)

Ahhhhhhh, never knew that, good question dude. Learn something new everyday!!

[Ziggy]

I thought it was originally just the 3-series section of another BMW forum? & the E30s were taking over so Steve etc started what's now known as the "old zone"...
That's just before it moved to this format - if you wondered what people were going on about with the old one!

Ste is still about, in fact his company designed the shop setup for the site, nice job too mighgt I say

the original lineup was

RiDi ( steve)
Lizzie (retired stuntwoman)
M3GTR ( paul Maloney)
Dlatch ( Duncan - ford fanatic )
Me ( still shite at all things PC)
Ste ( stil lurking behind the scenes)

Little acorns eh folks, Cheers for posting that Link Simon, nice reading that again

I think there was a discussion on the BMWCCGB forum too somewhere ....

those were the days. salman (m5pilot), was also on that thread. as e30alpina.

the bmwcarforum, was bollocks then(still is), and was starting to be a lonely place if you had an e30.

i had no time for technical articals. i had vicims to find.
