Mariano your car is the thing dreams are made of. Pure sex.

wow great work guys. When I first started to get into cars and e30's a long time ago before r3v and e3s your cars were 2 of my biggest inspirations. I often thought about selling me e30 and gettin an e30 M3. Very well deserved and long overdue!

Wow thanks man, that means a lot.

Congrats guys! I'll pick up a copy on thursday.

Do ya'll need any extra copies? I'll grab some if need be.

I need a copy!!!

Very nice!! Maybe I read wrong..but Mariano, wasn't your first e30 (now with the M50 swap) a 325e? They list it as an '86 325i. Same with Barry, a 1985 325i? Shouldn't that be an eta? Anyways, great looking cars. My jealousy is always on the rise when I see these.

Yeah its an eta.

No, it's a euro only M cloth. I've only seen pics of it in like 1 euro E36 before. It's called "M cross amaretta". I've never seen anyone in the US with this cloth and I thought it was kinda cool and different.

The writer is a Brit and he improvised a bit in his writing. We clearly told him we both had ETA's back in the day. Somehow it came out as 325i's. If you read it carefully there's a few things that just don't sound quite right if you're in the US.

Theres always gonna be mistakes when someone else is writing about your car. Any time I have been mentioned in any magazine some little factoid has been wrong.

My wife takes great offense to that comment haha. He's not a good looking guy. FUck I thought I was at least decent-looking! haha


Thanks all for the comments!! Im really happy it worked out like this with Barry and I being featured. It really fits well since he and I have been friends for the longest and he was the first E30 ///M3 guy I ever met back in like '98-'99 and I feel a certain kind of comraderie with him since weve been in the scene so long.

Just call the publisher and have them send some out. That's what I did when my car and blunt's were in Roundel. They were really cool and sent me 5 copies to give to my Dad and brothers.

Congrats to both of you!

They did not give you a plaque? Maybe they are making one for you.

Congrats Barry and Mariano.

You wife is soooo down to also pose for the camera ! :up:

[CleanAzzE30z]

Thanks man. Yes, she has always been really cool about my E30 ///M3 addicition. Also, she knows more than most people about cars, especially E30s because of me. A co-worker of hers was asking questions about BMW like "WHat does the i mean in 325i?" and stuff like that. SHe knew that with no problem, she knows all the engine codes and all that too. The guy was really surprised that she knew all that.

I know a few people who had their cars featured and the prints they have on their plaques are one sheet that have never been folded. Do they send you a high res file?
