What is considered "OG R3V member"?

[Digitalwave]

Yep. He kinda had me by the balls on that one. I was in private school and as a result didnt have a job to pay for all the parts I needed for my car. He gave me his Pathfinder and took the e30 in trade. Sold it for 800 bucks for parts. It was my first e30 and a total POS so it wasnt a huge loss in retrospect (I mean we only got 800 bucks for an 88 is, it definately wasnt a great car) but he pretty much manhandled me into it. Made me kinda pissed at the time but now Im back with a bettter car.

And the ugly 325iX is gone! In the end you came out well.

[AdironRider]

Haha other than the ricer rims my ix was pretty sweet. Ask Scott even. Ill miss that car but I wouldnt trade it for my mint 318!

Man, how did I miss this thread? I remember the glory days of BEN. In fact I remember it before it was on bmwe30.net, it was on some shared hosting site. Guys off the top of my head here now, that I remember from BEN in it's prime were Ryan Stewart and Michael Abrahams. There's probably lots more but they probably went by other names. Man, that was like 7 years ago that I first started following that board.

Oh yeah, and Ove definitely knew his sh*t. He'd take engineering equipment out and use it on his car to prove things. I remember he did a couple of experiments measuring intake temperature and strut tower deflection.

BTW, what the f*ck does O.G. stand for?

Original gaywad.

Who was it that had a flowtest bench and proved that K&N filters flowed less than the stock paper filter?

Man, sounds like an Ove experiment. Maybe that's why he ran a foam filter.

Eh, I was a BMWMPower and Bimmer.org lurker. '99 or so.

And none of you fuckers drove in your E30 leaving the dealer on delivery day. I'm the real OG.

You've had the same E30 for 16 years in Canada? How hard have you had to work to keep it in good condition?

[EtaSport]

Well, I didnt ride in mine out of the dealership, since I barely 2 at the time. But we've had this car for awhile. Owned from 11/86 to summer 95. Reaquired in 2/03, almost ready to see my 3 years of ownership. Oh, and mine has more miles than anyone on this forum, that I know of. Especially with most of the original parts (engine realted, original block/head), original driveshaft, diff, axles, even had the original bilsiten struts up front until I put the springs in. Original seats, paint.. etc.

[Bokes]

rofl, this thread is still alive. i laugh.

I joined BEN in early '01 but never posted on the forums. I joined their mIRC channel and found PJ325i and scott325is there.... started talking to scott, who later started www.bmwbushings.com.

Still early '01, he told me about DTMPower.net and I registered there. Migrated to e3s, then r3v.

[OreoGaborio]

I think to be OG you had to be around when it was E30sport and then saw Jordan throw a fit, fight with TJ, and shut down e30sport. Then join the first r3v, see Jordan throw another fit, fight with himself, and shut it down. Then return to the same r3v when he opened it back up. Finally, to see him swear off the internet and pass off the server only to keep the name so he has some power when he cant swear off the internet.

And I predict it will include some other form of similar drama before his lease on the domain is up (if he lets it lapse).

Sup Ryan? how goes it, bro?

I think you are pre-OG.
