I hate tstars I feel they don't fit the lines of the car at all.

I dont think they look good on that particular car with that height, and with so many options for an E30 ///M3.

Just saw the new "Bangkok Dangerous" with Nick Cage, which I assume was filmed in Bangkok, saw a nice E30 in one of the traffic scenes.

Rick Wright died? I missed that one. Shit, Thats one of my favorite bands. I like the Ummagumma era stuff better than the post Dark Side.

I looked up the news online--Rolling Stone had a little article inside--one page! That should have been on the cover of the damn magazine. Wright was a key part of that band. Oh well, you liked Live at Pompeii? Lots of dark side and Meddle-era songs. I do like Meddle. Heck its all good.

I just saw a red E30 cabrio on the news that was involved in an accident with injuries involving a police car.

I guess i'll be seeing it at a salvage yard? Need parts!?

Spotted this Baur last night in a valet parking lot


This morning, I spotted this legit e30 M-Technic convertible parked in the back of the local BMW dealership. BBS RS wheels, Hurricane cloth, 5-speed manual, & only 61,000 miles on the clock. Simply beautiful.

I absolutely love Live In Pompeii. I would watch it every day when I got home from work. The version on that DVD of Echoes is one of my favorite songs of all time. Its so good. The vocal harmonies, the guitar, the solo, the mental soundscape that takes you everywhere. I dont know how to explain it. It took me so long to find that whole DVD in MP3 format but I did. That DVD really made me aware of Nick Masons talents as well that werent really ever displayed on the studio recordings.


And that MT2 vert looks great. Nice to see an authentic MT2 with a 5 speed.

I agree with you.
I was re-introduced to Pink Floyd in the early 1980s around the time The Wall came out. My parents had bought DSOTM in '73 and I had the stickers and poster in my room. But I was really too young to understand it.
Later, I was going on about The Wall in Junior Achievement, and one of the sponsors told me, I don't know anything about Pink Floyd, and gave me a copy of Ummagumma. After that, I heard A Nice Pair, Atom Heart Mother and Meddle. Didn't think much of The Wall after that. I've got all the early stuff. Zabriski Point, More and Obscured by Clouds are worth a listen...

[CleanAzzE30z]

I dont even own The Wall. I saw every concert Roger Waters played in L.A. last year and the year before last with Nick Mason on drums. DSOTM in its entirety> I MUCH prefer Waters' influence on Floyd than when Gilmore was at the helm. You can really tell (especially later on) which songs were his, and then I didnt like how Floyd sounded one bit after Waters left. Man I could talk about this shit forever. My parents saw the DSOTM tour back in '73-'74 and unanimously agreed that it was the best concet they have ever attended. And they/we have been to TONS of concerts.

I saw an early (DB, 90-) black E30 325i cabrio southbound on 101 by Novato to San Rafael area on Halloween roughly about 8:00 pm +/- a little bit. Exchanged some weak pulls on each other, cant say we ever really raced though. Anybody here? It was a guy driving probably in his 20s, short hair and facial hair IIRC. Dude almost looked like Cahomey from here for the half sec I saw the driver, but I know he doesnt have a cabby

[Devil Inc]

I was looking out my window this morning and low and behold there sat my e30. It was rolling on dirty b-caps, funked up window tint, crappy paint, and no rust.

Sorry guys I don't see very many, if any e30s around my neck of the woods.
