We have less space in the hall this year. So we really want to make good use of the space we do have, some real special cars for starters! In case you have suggestions, contacts, leads, let us know! Of course we're going to do something about '40 years of E21' so if you have any suggestions to support that, a sweet race or rally car perhaps, that would be more than welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Great! Hope the Belgian rally is any good, I can't make it to that event, will visit one of the later rallies over there as there are always enough classics competing... hope you bring a decent camera and you'll be able to post some nice photos after!

[Jeroen]

Anddddd the www.sharknosemeeting.com website is on line again! Please register so we know how many sharks we can expect... hoping for a record number of E21's to celebrate its 40th anniversary!

Finnish-Estonian attack force will be there, if a bit lacking on Finnish side at the moment. But there's still time..

[Jeroen]

That would be great, fingers crossed!

Got my dad coming in his new buy from last week:

[Jeroen]

Great! And enough time left to replace those Styling 32's

Great! And enough time left to replace those Styling 32's

Yes, I understand your view. The car came with a nice set of 7x14 Alpina wheels and 205/70 tyres. Which will be kept.
The car isn't concours and probably never will be. So some changes should be acceptable, it already has a 5 speed gearbox and different interior from original.

The Style 32's came from my old E24 and are staggered 8 & 9 inch wide, my dad prefers the way the car handles on them.
And if he fits the motronic 3.5 sat in our garage then the wider 255 rears will be usefull.
As he likes to drive his classics and do quite some mileage then tyres sizes that are readily available in modern brands/models are a bonus.
