Learning about e30's...

[Pedro]

I'd like to be more "edjamacated" in the e30 area sooooooo my question is what books and tech stuff like that could i read on, and websites too? i figured since this is the tech forum this would be the best place for this question.

Well, before someone else says it : Buy the Bentley manual.

[Pedro]

yeah i figured that would be the first said. but i assumed there was more out there then just that

wow... someone who doesn't know alot about e30's, admits it & doesn' ask stupid quesions right off the bat.... i like this guy 8)

the way i learned a shitload about my car was to get addicted to all these e30 forums... just do alot of reading.

just a couple other good websites:

Check out unofficialbmw.com and bmwe30.net.

if you want to learn, then experience. There is absolutely no substitute for experience.

Bentley is first o nthe list. Then hit up as many forums as you can, ESPECIALLY www.bmwe30.net.

The tech articles they have are great, and most of the members who wrote them are still around.

You can also hit up my website, www.mmsport.s5.com, i have several articles of my own, some links to other sites and info as well.

Hope this helps.

I learned by actualy stripping down a bunch of e30's. I worked part time at a BMW junkyard that was closing and stipped completly probally 5-6 e30's, then have helped my friend do an engine swap on his e30. I've never even looked at the bentlye and do everything my self on the car.

Bently for general reference.

Then learn by doing.

Pick up a copy of the "BMW 3 Series Enthusiast's Companion". It has in-depth info on all the 3 series models including the E30. It's an awesome book.

Post redundant questions in multiple forums. Make sure that it would have nothing to do with the topic specified. Make sure to eschew proper concepts of grammar and punctuation, and if possible, type in all caps. For extra effect, alternate between capital and lower case characters. Make sure to replace overly long phrases such as the word "to" with the much quicker "2'. Remember, despite that fact you don't know something, if someone presents you with a solution different than what you were going to try, get angry. Make sure to call into question their sexual preference, and if need be, their prediliction for copulation with their maternal unit. Remember, noone ever actually asks for an opinion on the internet, just an affirmation.

This is how one learns on the internet. :twisted:
