New school versus Old school

[Jordan]

Was it DannyB that had his go at E3S? But that didn’t last long at all before it went offline. Then I had my go, lasting over a year before I sold the domain to you at your request, and you fucked me over… then trying to run E3S (which also quickly failed)

You and Danny together weren’t able to run the forum half as long as I did, and I would obviously still been running E3S if you didn’t make an attempt at running it yourself. You and Danny had your iterations, and they failed… Way I see it, I was E3S.

i feel old school though im only 19...

started on BEN at 15 then followed all the incarnations of other e30 forums.


Wow i havent visited DTM regularly in like 2 years.

Jake is OG DTM Power.

I remember when E30 guys were 7 out of the top 10 posters on DTM. Me, Mariano, Shahe, Mike Swale, and a few other guys.

Ya, I can remember those days. Shahe and Mariano are true OG's.
Cant believe that place now has almost 50,000! members. Crazy.

And Jordan is right, I remember that guy Danny B, with his red E30 right? He was the one to start up E3S, as he pulled guys from DTM and what not. Its all clear again.

And ya, I do remember that drama between you guys, TJ and Jordan. We've all had drama at some point with each other. It seems to all have worked out though. Good stuff

I've been around the BMW online community for 10 years.

I remember the welty list, the zionsville parts list, the e30 list, suzy's list, Bimmer.org, BEN, BMWMpower.com (ne. DTM power), E3S, the k*bort days, the UUCdigest, the UUCgarage, the son of the garage, etc.

I'm just old.

FYI to anyone that doesn't know now, DTM blows these days

[Mystikal]

BMWMpower.com (ne. DTM power)

Hah!

It was bmwmpower.NET

And yeah, I've been around for some time. Back when .org was only a Z3 forum. Scared the shit outta me when I went on the site recently to see a forum for damn near every car made today.

I've been into E30s (personally) for almost 5 years now. Friends and family members had owned some prior to that so I'm no stranger to these cars. As for BMW forums, I dabbled a bit in the BEN community shortly after I got my first E30, then I learned about Dave Adams' BayE30 site and got to meet the folks there. Very little of my time was wasted on DTM Power since I joined that place when things were starting to really take a dive. Come to think of it, I don't believe I posted more than 50 times. Hung out on Roachfly for a while then found E3S, and now R3V. The only other site I spend a lot of time at besides R3V is BayE30 cause them be local boyz ;)

And since my early days of E30 life, I've learned a lot, made some great 'virtual' friends and have met quite a few folks in person at drives, racing events, etc.

I remember finding Jordan's old site that had every picture from each month, before he made R3V. It had a link to a forum called "E30Sport". I remember "car of the month" and they were doing a short article on Ryan Stewarts car, just before his accident.

I then saw T.J.'s wheels and was set on getting a pair myself. I posted my car up once, then E30Sport came crashing down. Showed up here after Mike (e304lyfe) showed me this site. I've been here ever since...

I´m so OG that "17´s wheren´t popular yet :)
and GC wasn´t even born, a turbo e30 was something some insane europeans whould do, swapping engines was only for the master tech.

I remember that kid with the red 318is, he had borbet T´s on and was having wheels shimmy at 60+, it went on for over a year, he replaced every single nut and bolt in the front suspension and steering had the wheels balanced numerous times , until he swapped the wheels for some baskets and the shimmy went away :)
Tim, Jim og something like that,

I remember when everybody where sick of Erik Lukas and his crazy ideas him always selling his cup holders on ebay, also Dan Pinder with his "18´s or was it "20´s I can´t remember,

DTMpower = it was bmwmpower.net indead,

I don´t remember but I think it was on the BEN chat room a few year back I was talking to enine, only later to find out he is a huge black guy, the first black person I talked to :)

I only know you guys over the internet, never in real life, and propably never will .

[Schniddy]

So what exactly happened to E30sport?
I've been around for almost a year, a little less on this forum though. 19 more days till I get my permit! I’ll almost be in the new school category then.

Tim Thurber.

Didn't he sell the car and buy like an automagic jetta or something? Dumbass replaced every single suspension component, but would never take the wheels or tires to get balanced.
