Hi there,

Just thought I'd say hi.

I'm a newbie to the zone and have been checking it out for a week or so now.....and now I can safely say....I'm hooked.

I've alway loved the E30's ever since my dad owned an 1989 F320i back in 1992.

I've never actually owned one, but now I've managed to talk my better half into letting me invest in one.........hurray! I'll be looking for a touring as I've promised her that we'd get a bigger car (two kids and prams need to fit).

Hopefully you'll see me at the Aces meet in May with my touring.....but I'll get some pictures up on the Zone before then (as soon as I find one)

Take care peeps.....I'll look forward to chatting to you.

Cheers mate, I've got a thread going if you're looking for any inspiration (just don't nick too many ideas :D )

Definitely a great everyday car....the sports auto box is superb round town, and when you want to drive it quick put in sports and take it to the red-line :twisted:

The straight 6 sounds just awesome aswell :D

I can definitely recommend the Touring as a good all-rounder ... especially if you get a big engine in it 8)

Nothing wrong with base tourings,let 'er indoors have a 316....then you can build yourself a proper one....

Hi Jay07,

Thanks for the welcome mate. I've seen a few tourers on here owned by fellow Zoners and it's hard to stop my eyes from popping out of their sockets. 8O
