• Bimmer.org - 18 Web boards that cover almost every model BMW.
  
  
• BMW Information - Nice site! Not much E12 info though.
  
  
• BMW Bavarian Defense Mechanism - another Bavaria site. Lots of tongue-in-cheek humorous stuff. Some good information too. Check out the turbo-charged Bavaria of William Gau.

• The BMW CS Registry - Run by Art and Marilyn Wegweiser. These two are one of a kind. Although they drive two door coupes, they are cut from the same stone as many of us. Real car people who drive their cars.
  
  
• The BMW Car Club of Great Britain
  
  
• The Senior Six Registry - A great site, mailing list, refuge? The guys and gals on the Senior Six list are a wealth of knowledge (and silly antics too). If you aren't careful, they'll convince you to give up your e12 as a parts car for their Bavaria project.
