Rejoining the E30 Community

Wow. Veryyyyy jealous. Glad it went to someone who knows E30s well!

Well, I'm a noob vs. just about anyone here, but I definitely have a thing for the mid-80's BMWs.

Holy shit, what a twist from your project thread update to getting into this car. Congrats and hope you have an awesome drive!

Yeah - pulling the trigger made me start looking around the E30 world again.

I have to say that recovering that car put the E30 bug in my blood a bit again....

Congrats and hope you have an awesome drive!

Thanks! It starts almost exactly a week from the moment I'm posting this...

That's awesome. Glad to see the car is going to stay in enthusiast hands and not tucked away somewhere.

This is fantastic.

Do you have a date in mind that you are coming to get it? Theres some GTGs that are still happening, would be fun to send you off after meeting some of the LA peeps.

COME HERE BOY

Forgive me if I missed it, but is this an m20 car??

It's no M20 but a great engine nonetheless

Congrats on the car!

Crap - that didn't even cross my mind :(

I am staying the first night in Gilbert, AZ with one of my best friends and we're going to have dinner, so I'll probably be getting on the road pretty much as soon as possible. Not much leeway in our schedule until the very last day - lol.

My boss lives in LA, and I'm blowing her off too

[iXBeater]

Looking forward for a more forum based updates!

Thanks! FWIW, I've got a running thread in the Member's Rides sub and a low-quality YT channel for the car.

Any back story on the e24?

Sorry - missed this the first time somehow: I've had the M635 for 18 years or so. I bought it in the Boulder, CO area and drove it home, which was great fun and turned out to be an unforgettable adventure:

I got to meet the leader of the team that pulled that baby up from under nearly 300 feet of ice...
