Glad to have you back. Looks like you have found a very nice replacement ride. These cars are getting so rare that the prices are starting to go up for nice examples. The beaters are being bought up for Pro3 race car conversions and parts. There are over 60 cars in the circuit this season. At the E-30 picnic last summer there were over 200 cars came to the event with some driving for 1200 miles or more to get there.
If I remember the story correctly, you live east of Germany? There must be few E-30 left in that part of the world. Bob in Lake Havasu |

Hi Gerbrandt,
It's good to see you back and I'm happy that you have found a new E30 to love. I remember the story of your 'stolen' E30 and all the hassles you went through. Gus abandoned BEN several years ago and it is now hosted by Dave_G who also made it realatively trouble free. Ove moved on to an E36, a 318Ti and he got a new 'cupholder' so his interests changed a little Our little core group is still here. Even though my iX is gone; I still enjoy hanging out here |

Now that you mention, the only automatic e30 I ever saw was a 1992 316i Touring. It was for sale back in the time I was shopping for my BMW e30. I guess automatic e30 are very rare over here. |

Hallo again guys,
Yep, I'm still keeping the E30 torch burning. Strangely enough the Auto E30 318i's were not so uncommon over here. The ones with the luxury features like electric windows and leather upholstery came out in auto form. Anyhow most of them are manual now because the auto E30 box has always been a bit of a pain to maintain. |
