Trying to learn as much as I can about them before I buy one.

There are only a couple of us that play here. I'm the most consistant I think.

The most populated and technical oriented forum is:
http://bimmer.roadfly.org/bmw/forums/e31/

The most complete buying guide is here:
http://forum.clube31.com/

And the most model information is here:
http://www.e31.net/english.html
Watch the videos-well worth the time!!

If you buy one you have to come here and post pictures too.

BTW I am Terry740/840 on the Roadfly forum and TerryY everywhere else.

I am working on buying the 93 850ic right now from the forum. Its the one in LA Black ext, grey int. Always wanted one. Just doing all my research to make sure I know what I am getting into. Want the smile to last longer when I am driving it. Thanks for the links. I will check them out!:buttrock

Happy to be of help.
