@P_Roloff - Should have the car at the end of the week. I'll bring it to C&C in the next couple of weeks.
Awesome! I won’t be back in Madison until June in all likelihood, unless I come back for the e30 picnic in Waukesha or the first lake mills C&C. Can’t wait to see it though!

Nice find! I appreciate that you pointed out to us that the Bluetooth head unit was not period correct on a car from 1988. I giggled lol.

I’ll have to check out that BRZO app, never heard of it. Can you share your shipping experience? I get asked all the time about shipping cars because I drive trucks but have no experience or any recommendations haha.
Will comment early next week after I get the car

looks great. Looking forward to seeing another e30 vert around Madison! I have a black '91. Now if only we could actually drive them with the tops down.

Looks beautiful! looking forward to hearing more about it!
The roof of my car was heavily damaged by some chains or something I assume. I couldn't claim it as damage during transport because when I received the car it was night time and the car was covered in road spray.
oh well -
The car looks great! Alpine white is definitely my favorite color
I'm not normally a white car guy but I love it on the E30.

I’d be down for that, should we include all white BMW’s so @Jdesign isn’t left out with the white shark?
6 series are too elitist for us, pssh. he will be too busy being in rap videos and having a valet park the car while he hits the links.
