Can Chuck Norris count to infinity?
Do Africans spend 98% of their income on food?
Do we like roaring engines?
Yes, yes, yes!
We like the smell of gasoline in the morning. And burned rubber in the evening.
Six, eight or twelve with an occasional four is what we prefer.
We like the heritage more than the future (call us conservative and we agree).
We are environmentalist in a proven way.
We don’t throw good stuff away and buy new crap instead.
Rear wheel drive, with a bavarian heart is top on our list.
But there is place in our heart for every honest car.
We are rigid, but not stupid.
We are Wheelmen.
Enjoy!

Great website.I am in Houston Texas and I collect e30 bmws.I have an original 1991 m3,a 1988 2.5 liter stroker and a 1991 318is/m60 4 liter v8 conversion.Are you in Germany?Cheers,Casey Williams
Thanks for your comment! Nice collection you got there 🙂
Any more info about your M60 conversion?
We are in the Netherlands, but go regularly to Germany. Lots of nice e30’s over there. Take care,
Hendrik
Thanks Hendrik.Sorry not to reply sooner.The car was built by AKG in Zion Illinois,USA.I bought it from the next owner,who put a coilover suspension from Ground Control Suspension in California.Google “BMW 340i”I think it shows pictures.(white with e36 m3 wheels).Thanks,Casey
Beste Wheelmen,
Naar aanleiding van een telefoongesprek met Hendrik de vraag of inderdaad een artikel in het ‘bmw car magazine’ is gekomen/komt van deze maand. Wanneer ik onderstaande website raadpleeg vind ik er namelijk niks over?
http://www.bmwcarmagazine.com/
Groet uit het Zuiden,
Rémy-Josquin
He Remy,
blijkbaar is alleen het artikel “WIYG” (Ronny Dreizehner) in deze uitgave. Het artikel over de C2 is verschoven naar volgende maand. Maar daar hebben wij natuurlijk geen invloed op. Hoop er wel op! Dan kan je het zeker zien op de genoemde link.
Groeten,
Hendrik
Remy-Josquin,
Er is in november 2011 een groot artikel over de collectie verschenen, nu verschijnen er steeds losse items over individuele auto’s.
Thank you. Sorry to not reply sooner. The 318is/m60 was built by AKG in Zion Illinois, USA. Their website shows some construction photos. The second owner had a coilover suspension designed by Ground Control Suspension in California. It has all parts from other bmws: e36 m3 front suspension, M coupe rear trailing arms and half shafts 5 bolt hubs with e36 m3 “motorsport” wheels, 540i brakes, 540i 5 speed, etc. etc. (if you enter “340i”in google, it should show a picture) However, your project is fantastic! A true supercar. The cars that you all are interested in are the best. Regards, Casey Williams
Casey,
I had contact with AKG a couple of times in the past years. They are pioneers on many engine conversions.
The most important thing about the S62 and Alpina M70 project for us is to make it repeatable, so all the custom parts are CAD-drawn and real solutions found. In the past we often made cars ”on the go’ because of the time schedule which meant that measurements and materials were simply made and bought on the spot without documenting it. We’re always short on time, so this project takes twice as much time because we take zero risks on fabrication, use aircraft-quality parts etc and make all the little and big parts such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, engine management etc custom.
The car will basically look exactly like a B6 3.5, and have E39 M5 reliability and will be very easy to service.

Gentlemen,
Like your cars, like your style, like your site. Erg mooi wat jullie met die BMW’s doen.
Groet,
Bas
Bedankt, we doen ons best!
Beetje uit de hand gelopen hobby… 🙂
Doen jullie ook aan verhuren van e30 m3?
Zou u contact met mij op willen nemen ?
Met vriendelijke groet,
Hans Horst
Geachte,
in principe verhuren we de auto niet.
Hi there, love your site and couldn’t agree more about the heritage being superior to the future, particularly in Bavaria. You fellas aren’t the same Dutch group that were called the “A Team” in a issue of Total BMW from many moons ago, are you?
Viele Grüße aus München.
BMW Sammler.
No I guess that’s not us. Believe it was nov issue (BMW Car Magazine, not Total BMW). Thanks for the credits. In this day and age cars are not the mainstream interest which makes us try even harder.
Hi, Sorry I think my memory was slightly off when I noted Total BMW. Some of the cars and a photo of one of the gentleman on the site made me think again that I must have seen more about you fellas in a magazine.. I was certain because I was so impressed with the passion that I showed it to a fellow BMW enthusiast friend of mine. Was it an issue of Retro Cars in which you guys were the featured “Lockup” ? Hopefully I’m not just going crazy lol, but I recall the grey E34 M5 on schnitzer wheels and a few of the E30s. I myself am an E30 fanatic (among all other older BMWs) and remember thinking I would love to drive my E30 ACS S3 to Holland to meet you guys. This was a while ago as I haven’t bought a retro cars in some time due to the lack of BMW content.
In any case, glad to have found the site and thanks for providing such photos of many special cars.
Right:D
you’re always welcome. Im not familiar with ‘Retro Cars’, is it a UK mag?
Nice blog, I am a fan of BMW’s as well and I recently started a blog on BMWs (www.bmwon.com) Will be happy to meet you. Btw did you sold the E38IL? I would like to post a story about it on my blog.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Radu
Hi Radu,
Thanks for your message. We haven’t been very active lately due to work, but I hope we will catch up soon again. The E38 is still for sale. You can always use some of the info on our blog.

Hi Achim,
The B6 2.8 is from a friend of ours, so I can’t speak for him. Aber wenn Sie in die nahe sind, konnen Sie immer anrufen. Haben Sie einige Bilder von Ihre E30’s?

Hi wheelmen, I’d very much like to get in touch with you regarding what it is like to own and operate classic BMW sports cars in the Netherlands as I am an American who is seriously considering moving there (I will have EU citizenship soon). I have many questions, please contact me!
Hi Thomas, sorry for my late reply. I haven’t been active lately on our blog… But you can always ask any questions, please contact me directly on hjjonkman@hotmail.com
