Hello fellow forum members. I just found out this was back. My name is Steve, I live in Langley, B.C. not too far from USA border just east of Vancouver.
Peter might remember me we chatted abit a few years ago. Anyways, I will be lurking around the site. Cheers to all.

Hey Steve,
It's been quite a while eye popping smiley

Glad you found us again.

Two years ago, the forum was hijacked by some Russian hacker. We couldn't make any contact with Gustavo Melo who owned the original BEN and we had to reconstitute it in this newer more secure form.

There aren't many of us left; as our E30s retire; but you should recognize most of the regulars who still post.

Now that you're back in; swing over to the Community and Technical forums B)

Yup. I was hoping we could keep the old bmwe30.net domain, but at the time Gustavo wanted to keep it, which was understandable. But since then, he apparently let the domain name registration lapse, and before I knew it, bmwe30.net was snapped up by Japanese cybersquatters. :X We'll never get it back now.

Wow, thats pretty bizarre. I was wondering what happened.
I am slowly working on an e28 535i. My wife will be driving it. She has an e30 right now and I am killing an 89 jetta commuting to Richmond. See you all around. Steve.
