BURRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. Seriously. WOW.

Looking back at what I wrote, that came off a lot more mean-spirited than I intended. I was pretty much just responding to Charlie's remark. As I wrote later in the same post...

I don't know dinanm3atl at all. Maybe he's a great driver. But that pic in his sig always makes me smile.

That's all there is to it, really. No hard feelings ;)

not like you have anything else to do..... O.o ;-):giggle:

Well, I was going to go paint some exotic racing scheme on my car and enter it in GTS. I'll have to do that this weekend.

The thread was great, although it did die on page 2 or 3.

Sorry guys, this is my source of in-depth technical write-ups and expert advice.

Dammit, I'm going to have to read the entire thread to figure out what you're all on about, aren't I?

I must admit, it is a bit hard to take someone seriously when they're running in the B-group but have their car painted up like a club racer and trailer it to events 10 miles from home. I've had a few students like that over the years and they tend to be the scary ones.

BURRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. Seriously. WOW.

Bump for one of the most entertaining threads ever.

Having been around forums for a long time it seems that the more things change the more they stay the same. Change is good. People sell their cars and move on. There is always a different group of owners who already know everything, who are rude and disrespectful, and those that will never be happy with ANYTHING.

All forums have something to offer to a person with an open mind and who is willing to listen to differing opinions and make an informed decision. Like in life there are people who only take what they want, and those that give to others what they need. Everyone has an agenda of some sort, the difference is how one goes about it.

This forum/group was recommended by a client and another long time supporter and enthusiast. It has been a slow process of getting involved.

So far it has been informative and entertaining as most forums are.
As a 25 year owner of BMW's (Neu Klasse, 02's, E21's, E30's, E23 Factory Turbo's, L7) alot has been seen and learned. What has been learned is that just because someone owns a particular model of BMW it does not mean that they are an enthusiast or own it for the same reasons that we do.
Having worked on all models (3's, 5's, 6's, 7's of all series) they each have their own merits and provide different things to different owners. Like all old cars, they are not much fun to drive unless they are upgraded to take advantage of current manufacturing and technology.

By meeting some of the young guys on this forum here locally they bring a modern interpretation to what an enthusiast is. We will continue to learn from each other and they will get the benefit of all those years of experience.
(and yes anyone UNDER 30 years old is a KID, whether you like it or not). Some are more respectful of others/elders and are treated as adults, not children.

If someone wishes to get something out of a relationship, then by contributing to it they will get something in return. Same here on this forum.

Well put, my old friend.

The E36 was the result of an E30 with a 21st chromosome.

It's been a while since anything on an internet forum has really made me laugh, but that my friend, is snort-out-your-boogars-on-your-desk funny.

Don't be mad that the e36 M3 is a better car.

Better than what? Certainly not better than a real M3. Give me an E30 M3 any day ... especially if the E36 "M3" we're talking about is a US model.

Come on man. I love the e30 but the e36 is a better car.

Meh. All depends on how you define "better." I bought my E30 new back in 1991 and I bought my E36 new back in 1999. The E36 is a better daily driver and the rear suspension makes it more stable in high-speed corners. The E30 is more fun, easier to rotate, and takes much more skill to drive hard. That's why I've kept the E30 and got rid of the E36 years ago. Simply no magic to that car.

The oil pump nut is very real, for someone that wants to pretend to be a club racer, I'm surprised you're not more familiar.

So can someone enlighten me as to the difference of the three??

Don't limit yourself to just r3v, E30tech, and BF. There's also the granddaddy of all E30 forums: The BMW E30 Network ("BEN").

BEN is an older crowd who's more into restoration and maintenance of street cars as opposed to modding and track events. These days it's much, much quieter than it used to be; lot's of guys have been turned off by it's old-fashioned tree format. Still, lot's of great info there if you poke around a bit.
