    joining the E31 world

    I just purchased a '93 850Ci. I was supposed to pick it up today, but I booked a flight for 9 pm vs 9 am.....I was at the gate 12 hours early. the morning flight had no room. I will try again tomorrow. I have a '85 635CSi, a '88 M6 and a '12 Alpina B7.

    clean car with 93k miles and a lot of documented service history.

    I will be leaning on the collective wisdom of the forum as I move forward.

    thanks for that link TxGR8White. I am a long time BMWCCA member. I currently have a second chapter, but I will change my second chapter to E31.
    I had a great and uneventful 280 mile trip home. Car ran and handles as it should. It looks very good inside and out. It has a 2" thick file of service records including the original window sticker and has the original owners manual, tool kit, etc. I am going to like this one.

    Welcome. You are joining some great company here. Most of those above my post are really experts with huge knowledge banks that have helped me immensely. Call on them especially Timm, Dragon, Rog, Tom(Wuffer), EEDegree, Max, OlinJohnson and TxGR8. Many others you are sure to see their names with time and reading posts replies here. Many others on this forum are gaining knowledge not released from BMW but gained thru hard work and devotion to these cars. Don’t despair, help is here! Love your stable of cars too!
