not sure if this has already been brought up here, but i saw this on Bimmerforums, and it made me quite sad. my thoughts are with him and his family. he is one of the most helpful folks on this forum (if not the most), and incredibly knowledgeable with the E30 chassis and M20 engine.

Pretty sure Jim died the same day that the bfc thread was created. https://obits.al.com/obituaries/hunt...134&fhid=10433
Even though he mentioned that he was going through some sort of health issue and wouldn't be posting, I had hoped that he would be back. But it is sad to hear that the community has lost an absolutely irreplaceable font of knowledge and we should all aspire to follow his lead in helping others. I hope his family finds some peace with his departure.

Very sad news and a great loss to the E30 community. Jim always the most straightforward and accurate advice. I have some of his posts printed and stuffed into my Bentley manual. He was not stingy in sharing knowledge! RIP Jim and thank you for all the energy you put into making our hobby fun!R135 /// 1990 Alpinweiß II 325is

Well that is very sad news.
He was both a scholar and a gentleman especially when it came to sharing E30 knowledge.
Literally some of the finest posts on this forum (and bimmerforums).
Godspeed JimJimmy P.

An incredibly helpful man for so many people here. His advice was highly appreciated by me.

I had read that he wasn't doing well but didn't realize he had actually passed. This is a tremendous loss to our community. RIP Jim."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
