Hi there,
My name is Burn and I'm an alcoh-
oops, I mean, my name is Burn, I jumped aboard the E31 Express (finally!) at the end of last summer when I bought a 1998 840ci in dakargelb II, a car colour I didn't know I truly loved until I lived with it. My E31 obsession is at an advanced stage by now - its really got me...but I'm working on it.
I've joined other forums meanwhile but lurked quietly here as my usual somewhat rapid -reloading style of posting is perhaps not an ideal fit for this page, however, I have now got most of my first wave of over-excited posts out of my system and wish to open my account here.
I'm from London, I'm glad to say our 8er is almost completely as it left the factory, although recently, (inspired partly by the venerable Wuffer) I have made some very small and instantly reversible alterations mainly involving the roundels. Apart from that and a CD43 which I also added, the car really is stock, in lovely well cared for shape inside and out, not without its tiny flaws obviously but these merely add to her character --162,000 miles on the clock and drives almost like new..
I've had the privilege of briefly meeting Gerry 8-Tech and know Steve (Stevie) P from another forum - to the rest of you, I am pleased to say hello.
I'm assuming its fitting for me to now include a couple of pictures of the car.. These will follow in my next post on this thread, I'm trying to work out best way of adding images..
