Tourings rule k.o. ?!!!!!
Over the years I have been a member of various car forums, but this is by far the best. To all of those who have given advice, thank you. Here in the UK we hear all kinds of criticism of the US and it's citizens (even if we rarely belive it, all part of being in 'Europe' I believe), but I have rarely come across a group of people so readily willing to share their valued and valuable (!) experience - just a few to name check (and in no particular order):
winfred, 632regal, bruno, 530itouring, Bimmer Nut Ed, and everybody else (please don't take offence if I missed you out!, and there's a lot of you!). You've all helped me out of many a problem. And the E34 scene is far bigger in the US than Germany itself (as far as I can tell), I speak reasonable German, and talking to enthusiasts over there it appears that they look to the US for many of their ideas, purchases etc. Keep up the good work, and I know there are a good number of Brits out there! Stop being so reticent, and join in!
