Aussie Noob question :)

[Palmy]

When you guys say Euro, whats it mean in relation to Aussie cars?
I have the feeling we have Euro cars down here too...Anyone care to enlighten me :D



BTW, hello, im a new member, soon to be proud owner of 325i 89' e30. :)

Americans refer to non-US market E30's as Euro, even though most of the world received these "Euro" E30's.....basically only the N.American market received modified versions (big bumpers, etc).

Or, didn't you know that the world is made up of America & Europe ;)

Yeah, us Americans tend to call the cleaner, de-DOTized cars "Euro" because they come from the other side of the pond.

Oy, oy, oy.

Good choice in your first bimmer, Palmy. I will warn you, I have one, it might possibly be the noisiest damn valvetrain you will ever hear.

I second that :D My valvetrain noise goes away after 4000rpm though, so I try to thrash my car as much as possible to keep it quiet.

Over here in Australia, we get the decent E30s, like the 325is with the full M-tech 2 kit, instead of the diving boards and front lip on the US models.
