    E30 ad found in 1988 issue of US News

    I'm working at a hospital right now, wiring for cat6 networking. Today while I was at lunch in the hospital cafeteria, I saw a copy of US News sitting on the table, and thought I'd flip through it while I was eating. Then I noticed the date on it was 1988. So as I'm flipping through it, laughing at the IBM ad boasting it's 4MB of ram, I get to the next page and see this:



    Before I knew it, I ripped the page out and stashed it in my stuff, and scanned it as soon as I got home. I think I'm going to put it in a cheap little frame and hang it in the garage. :D

                    lol, it looks like its about to flip.

                    I should scan the articles I have sometime, one compares the e30 m3 and the 325is, the other compares the 325ix to an audi quattro and something else in the snow

                        I think it's just water making it look that way ;)
