E30 forum???

[Gordon]

Group,

I need recommendations on what's the best E30 forum.

I broke down and bought a newer bimmer last week so my youngest BMW is not 33 years old anymore (07 models are out right). I bought a 91 E30 318i 4 door, 5 speed with M42 motor. 91 was the only year that the E30 came in a 4 door with the M42 motor. It's a one owner, with 118K it's a great car but it has some minor issues I need to discuss with other E30 M42 owners.

G-Man

74 tii

73 Bavaria

70 2800

96 4Runner, parts hauler

Great bunch of guys...

Good choice on a car, btw

Congrats on the E30. Try www.bmwe30.net - I've used this site a few times since I got the E30 M3.

I would try www.e30zone.co.uk

A very good site with loads of good advice available

far away from you for most of their events, folks selling stuff in the classifieds, etc.

I'd also vote for the baye30.net group.

Some sharp mechanics in there, less of the "How do I install clear turn signal lenses?" types.

www.unofficialbmw.com seems to be the most mature I have been to. Other than that e30tech.com.
