Are there any UK based E30 M3 dedicated forums?

I'd like to do some research and can't seem to find a good site via Google.

UK based E30 Zone, although not M3 dedicated

S14power.com, is a german based site operates in both English and German very good on the technical stuff.

S14.net US based.

Have yet to find a dedicated E30M3 site that is UK based.

BMW Car Club have their ///M section too.

I use S14.net for most of my needs.

Hey why don't we start one up? Seems to be a bit of a demand. There is quite a knowledge base here in the UK, maybe we just need to put it all together.

Good sites outlined above.

E30 Zone is too generalist IMHO.

I'll check out the other ones. It seems a shame that no one has started a UK E30 forum.

S14.net is all E30 M3 and nothing else. From the 'chat' to all the 'for sale' stuff.

It has been tried. Unfortunatley, what has seemed to happen is that you end up with the same cross section of enthusiast posting on each forum. The BMW Owners club forum M Power section was the place to be a while back. However, most people drifted away from that after a small dispute with the club. That's when S14.net and the others appeared. You will probably now find that the vast majority of people involved in the e30 m3 world post on S14. Certainly all the posters I recognise from the past now post on S14.

HTH.

I use both s14.net and s14power.com and both are great resources, but different. s14.net has a broader reach from some very technically orientated posters to folk who are more style orientated, s14power is more technically/track orientated, but if you ask for a wheel upgrade recommendation your more likely to get a response involving weight and brake clearance rather than style. Both have all the bases covered for me.

I also pop in to the BMW Car Club forum and Bavarian board from time to time.

Joining s14.net is an online form affair, but joining s14power.com requires contacting the Mod team.
