E31 -8 series Online Resources

Post by zatman »

I couldn't bear having an empty forum for the 8 series so decided to write this post.

Eights are fabulous cars however prospective owners are strongly recommended to take advantage of the excellent web resources and user groups prior to taking any purchasing decisons.

Start by going to
http://www.e31faq.com/ >> this is an E31 community resource ie information within it has been contributed by the owners ie real world. Under the 00 - General Information you will find the most useful pre-purchase information.

Next surf on over to
http://bimmer.roadfly.com/bmw/forums/e31/ >> this is where a lot of 8 owners hang out and discuss everthing 8 related. The archives are a goldmine of information about finding, evaluating, breaking, fixing, caveats, workarounds & gizmos. This is an amazingly knowledgeable community which is very friendly and helpful. Can't beat that. (Some members do get snappy if you don't search the archive first. So use the search button). :) Sign up and ask the board if you want help in finding one.

The off-topic stuff is discussed in the E31 lounge
http://bimmer.roadfly.com/bmw/forums/e31-lounge/ >> where pretty much anything goes. Its useful because it keeps the main forum free of non-E31 related stuff.

Once you have your E31 you got to drive it. And what better than to play with like minded individuals. Check out
http://www.8-fest.com/ >> The 8-community is very friendly so there are regular meets called 8-fests. There are also mini meets and local meets which are not on this website. Those are usually organized informally on the roadfly forum.

Drive on in.
