Great to see familiar and new faces alike. Perfect weather and an amazing variety of cars. Big thanks to everyone that attended and so nice to see such great enthusiasm for not only e30s but BMW's in general. Here's to next year!

I must say I was a bit surprised at the amount of 24 valve swapped cars that were there.

Agreed!  It was really interesting to be able to compare the builds. I have a greater appreciation and better understanding now of all the little things that go into a clean swap.

I must say I was a bit surprised at the amount of 24 valve swapped cars that were there.

On the down side I made the mistake of forgetting sun screen and my arms as well as the back of my neck were bright red by the time I got home.

I do hope we can get a couple cruises going this summer, I really enjoyed hanging out with everyone!

Thanks for getting some proof I actually made it! I didn't take a single picture... 

Huge thanks to everyone who helped plan and run the event, I had a fantastic time meeting people and catching up with everyone. Perfect weather and lots of cars to check out!

Hopefully I'll own a BMW product by the next meet up!

Cool mix of stock, swapped, and forced induction e30s; coupes, sedans, verts; garage queens, weekend beasts, and dailies with assorted levels of wear; and the mix of owners from old school purists to younger innovators. Each year this keeps on getting better.

I also angered the E30 gods by installing cheap Chinese axles thinking they would last more than 120 miles while sending the old ones off to be rebuilt.... 

The final hard launch occurred on HWY K/HWY 83 in Washington County when the drivers side upper CV joint bought the farm.

I know, I was warned about aftermarket axles... I’ve learned my lesson, new GKN Lobos axels are on the way. In the interim, I’m gonna take some time and clean up the rear undercarriage while everything is apart.

She will roll again soon.

Great seeing everyone! Wasn’t enough time to get caught up. I love seeing the progress on each car every year.

It was good to meet Peter and see some of the cars in person that I see here. I was there for a little over an hour with the family and then we went to People's Park for lunch.

I counted over 50 cars but estimate close to 70-75 were there.

@HipMF @m42b32 and @P_Roloff met up at Qdoba beforehand and drove to the picnic together. We lost Joe and Peter at the freeway offramp due to traffic mixing in and obscuring their view of us. I get a text a minute later from joe “we missed the exit, see you there” okay. There were only 3 cars when we arrived, one was a white e30 coupe, another was a white e30 vert. 

Now how did Joe and Peter beat us to the picnic when I was on the fastest route?!?!

it turns out it wasn’t them, it @wasnt m3

They ended up arriving a few minutes later. It was one of those “had to be there” sort of things but it was a total mindf*** 😁

Who won the raffle?

The E30 Gods are not well appeased

my friend (not an active poster here) got into an accident today, not his fault. Subaru driver in background was either playing Crossword Jam or reloading their vape while driving.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I did just buy tickets / camping for Road America Vintage weekend. @wasnt m3 i reserved site 104, are you in the carousel this year?

All the good spots got taken super early this year. Got 3 sites in the low 200's this year, right before you go over the bridge.

We have a total of 4 or 5 sites between @wasnt m3 and myself. All together this year! We'll start a RA vintage thread soon.

Are you guys pumped? I know I am. 

Who's still in a mad dash to finish things? I'm trying to do my sunroof delete tonight to make my compact light as possible just in case some M42 e30 sucka wants to throw down for pinks.

Very pumped! My mad dash has slowed down, just gotta finish cleaning it up tonight!
