Vacationed in SC....love my e30

[mellowyellow88]

Just some random thoughts.....

So a buddy and I went down to Myrtle Beach from NYfor a few days of golf. Let me tell ya, the pace is definitely slower down there. Folks there are very friendly and personable once you get to know them. I can't believe how many golf courses there are down there. Wanna guess what other establishments I found to be abundant down there?

Rented a Mustang from Hertz. Wasn't impressed at all (no offense if you own one). With only 8,000 miles on it, the car felt loose with rattles and squeaks everywhere. I think it's got a V6 (?) that made a lot of noise but didn't make the car go anywhere. I drove my e30 yesterday and I feel that for a 15yr old car, it was just built much better.

Only saw one e30 in South Carolina in 5 days. Are there any SC e30ers here?

really? SC is the land of bmw's, I went to a beach in SC and I saw tons of bmw's on my way atleast 5 e30's among others

Whassup! I'd have to agree with both of you on that, there are many BMWs, but very few E30s. I like it here near Columbia, it's nice. But one thing I wish that SC had more of would definitly have to be 'driving' roads. Our roads are no fun :( Glad you enjoyed Myrtle Beach. It is a really nice place to visit. Later

What courses did you play man? I used to live @ Cypress Bay. Hmm could you have been referring to titty bars? HeHe :shock:

[mellowyellow88]

Played at Indigo, River Oaks, and Wicked Stick. Wicked Stick was designed by John Daly so lots of long fairways. Totally ate us up!

The t-bars are great...eh um...so I've heard.

Next time I'm going to take a side trip to Spartenburg and check out the BMW Facility. Have you NC and SCers done that?

I live in Charlotte, NC, close the SC. I was in myrtle two weeks again, I couldnt stand all the damn straight roads. Can't say I saw many BMWs at all, but who knows.


Topless, my girlfriend goes to USC, lives in Irmo. You make it up to Charlotte much?

[Digitalwave]

I am trying to transfer to a school 45 minutes from Charlotte, also close to SC. Its about 45 from Spartanburg, SC also. Hopefully get to meet all you E30 guys, and the McHenry's!

[Clay'87IS]

Hey, another SC guy here!
Most e30s around here a really really ragged out, but Gary (Toplesse30) and I have spotted a few decent ones.....

Bmws are everywhere though; a buncha crazy yuppies like my dad :roll: .....

[David325is]

As said by Clay and Gary, there aren't many enthusiasts around here. Also I have been to the BMW Plant/Zentrum/Performance Center a few times.
You should dedicate a day to tour the plant, visit the Zentrum (has a great collection of cars), and to see what the performance center has to offer.

Another place you should visit, if you have the chance, is Carolina Motorsports Park. It is a great local race track.

[SickE30]

Perhaps we should get a little carolina meet together fellas. Sometime in the not too distant future anyway

i'm installing some coilovers in a friends e36 m3 friday night if anyone wants to come and drink some beer with us

[latinobimmer]

Here here! Representin' Greenville, I am. Many E30's we have, yes. All just a buncha old fogies, though. Not that there's anything wrong with those. I live(d) about 2 minutes from the Spartanburg plant before I joined the Navy. Now I'm in Monterey, CA. So, yea. If yall ever need to know anywhere to go in Greenville, you know where to come.

[GaryE30]

Yeah, That would be pretty cool to meet up some day... I never knew that there were so many of you around here. But hey, there is an Auto-X this Saturday at the Michelin Black Lake near Laurens, SC. December 6th. If any of you are going to that I guess we'll see you there. But it's too late to register now though...sorry to those of you who arent going...its going to be a blast.

I have also been the the BMW Center in Spartanburg. Dad and I took the "M Driving School" <--- :shock: :o M5's, M3's, X5's allllllllll daaaaaaaayyyy loooooong....for free ;) .

Nah, not lately, the last time i was in Charlotte was about 2 months ago.
