Will be moving to Ramstein in Feb

[willsol]

Hello everyone

I was on the forum a while ago, but I moved on to different projects. I have come back looking for some help.

Currently I have a 2005 CTS-V and its fun but will be more for the wife.

Reason being is I'm finally getting stationed back overseas and will be pcsing to Ramstein in Feb.

I'm hoping to get the drop on things and since I will be in BMW heaven, I'm hoping to find a nice E30 M3 or really nice 325 coupe.

Any help or suggestions with this search would be greatly appreciated. I really do miss driving an E30 and I'm sure having a few extra eyes looking couldn't hurt.

Also any info on the local are wouldnt hurt either. Apparently I will be in the base comm squadron once I get there if that helps at all.

-Thanks
Will

I don't mind. It's the only car we have anyway.

I don't mind paying to play. It will be the better car for road trips in comfort anyway.

Ok just don't be in shock as you only get 400L a month rationed. And Gas was going up when I left two weeks ago. used cars are dirt cheap in the KMC area. Look for maybe a 318i 4 door e36.

Suggest you talk to Mike Ender as he seems to find all the dirt cheap E30's and E36's.

Cool thanks and AAFES on http://www.kaiserslauternamerican.com/ is saying super is 3.16 and super+ is 3.27

Definitely affordable and apparently you get different gas amounts rationed depending on engine size and such. According to my sponsor.

That's wrong, I was just at Spangdahlem and Ramstein about 8 days ago and it was in the 4's for 95RON.

Yes bigger engines get more but not sure what the formula is. I'm just transient these days but spend about 8 days a month in Germany.

No worries... I was in England and got used to paying a lot while I had a mustang there.

What kind of work do you do?

Ah cool... I work comm.

I'm kinda happy I don't have to do all that flying around, not my thing. Although I do enjoy using the Hop system.

As a flyer, I can't stand a desk type A thing. Hate it being stuck in one spot too long.

lol..it's cool. I can't stand flying the air pressure and all that crap all the time.

I def like having a 7-4 mon-fri jobs - lets me have a schedule and more time for working on my cars.

Is there a local site for bmw military owners in germany?

[M-technik-3]

Might be now, we have a section here and at BFc for EU members.

[e30guy]

This site for locals. All mix of cars.

Besides that, either here or e30tech.

Hope you like Ramstein. I liked it when I was there. You shouldnt have a problem finding a 325 in the surrounding area. Two other guys on this forum found there M3s while at Ramstein so, who knows.

Some useful websites if you didnt know them already.

Cool thanks will check those out. I found the yard sales and mobile.de

Those have been very helpful but I have had to laugh at some of the prices people on base are wanting for their cars.
