At a distance of 300 km away from the ultimate goal - the settlement Uelen expedition got into a difficult situation. 2 cars collapsed under the ice (0.5 m of snow and 0.5 m of water).
For their release was necessary to cause the tractor to the nearest village. As a result, one of the cars broke down one of the reducer.
Therefore, the expedition leader decided not to continue to move on Whalen. Now the expedition moves to Anadyr (1000km).
Snow cover is very difficult - not holding the machine, similar to sand.
The mood of the participants of the expedition good. All local residents are assisting.

A short story about my E31.
My first E31 - Alpina B12 5.0 #79. More details about it - here: http://www.8er.org/forum/showt…?15715-Rare-E31-in-Russia
Unlike many fans focus on E31 I noticed by accident. In 2011, I saw ads from E63, and saw the section on E31. The appearance of the car struck me, and I remembered that I had seen her as a child in some car's catalog. I became interested in it, but, at first, bought E39 540 Touring 2001. It was an amazing machine with a very rich set. Alpina B12 was sold in 2008, but nobody bought it - everyone thought that she was in a bad condition. In the spring of 2012 the price dropped, and I went to Moscow to watch it. This will help me my friends who thoroughly know E31 (Oleg "Tourist" and Ivan ''John Render"). The machine was able to "3". I sold E39 and bought it. E39 bought a fan from Novosibirsk. He brought it to perfection! https://www.drive2.ru/r/bmw/288230376152042931/
At Alpine, I went one year. I drove her 40,000 km in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. In the spring of 2013 I changed to Ivan at E31 840 (there were circumstances in the life). In Е31 - 30,000 km, also of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. I sold it in August 2013. This car was in good condition, and the man who bought it, and promised to bring it to the ideal. But he lied to me - in the summer of 2015 car stood in the garage without a trace of the work...
I bought the E31 following the spring 2014.
This car was brought from Japan in 2008. The owner has worked hard to restore, but then "blown". Car condition - a very good, full of the original. You can read about my travels on it in the other topic (I drove her for more than 10,000 km).

Most of the E31 was introduced in Russia in the 1990s. They are dominated by BMW850i 1990-1992 (~ 70%), but there are really rare and unique items.
In those years the E31 cost 80 to 200 thousand $, and afford such a car could either gangsters or the very rich people. In the first half of 1990 apartment in Moscow worth 15-30 thousand $, and the average salary in the country was less than 100 $. It is easy to imagine how a small % of the population could afford to E31. The big problem was the lack of qualified service E31 outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Poor road conditions, improper operation, harsh climate - as a result, a significant portion of E31, imported in the 1990s to the present day has not been preserved. Import E31 after the beginning of the 2000s has become very difficult because of environmental constraints. From 2012 legaly import E31 in Russia is impossible. Under current law, free admission (with the payment of customs duties - about 40 thousand $) is allowed for cars older than 30 years (for E31 - not earlier than 2020).Below - a rare E31, preserved in Russia by 2016.

Club was organized in 2008. Today it is about 30 cars about 50 active members. But there are many car owners who do not consist in the club. Total in Russia more than 150 E31. How many of them are in good condition - hard to say. According to my calculations, about 50. The rest - in a poor, broken, partially dismantled. In some cars there are no documents (to ride on them can be very close). The big challenge is to find the parts. However, a small part of the owners (~ 30) maintains its cars in very good condition. Some of them you can see on the E31-meeting in 2012-2015. There are cars in Russia in the collection condition - no more than 5-7 cars. 3 of them represented our club on a meeting 2012-2014.
