My E30 318is -90 (Sweden)
« on: May 18, 2008, 09:19:30 AM »
Hi!
I resently discoverd this forum so I'm quite new here, I'm pleased to see that there are so manny people with this rare model.
Here in Sweden were only ~46 models of the 318is E30 imported by BMW Sweden. So it's very special to own one, especialy when mine is in this fine condition.

Gorgeous car! love the black colour, the grilles set it off niceley! Did you buy them black, or spray them? If sprayed, what procedure did you use?
Welcome to the forum too :)

welcome to the club. Like Sweden, there is not many 318is in Norway either, about 20-30.

oh^^ that was some hard words for a Swede :P Do you mean the "grey"tinted light on the fronfenders behind the frontwheels? In that case I don't know. They are bought in that colour. But I havn't seen them in the shops for a long time so I don't think they are available annymore.

In Europe they should be available, at least german "tune-shop" FK sells them. All shops which sells FK stuff here in
Finland have them.

That's correct, lots of finns emigrated to Sweden in the 60's when finnish economy was not in so great shape, especially in the northern parts of the country.
You swedes have such a luck when having Finland between your country and Russia, you had a "Safty-bumber", so you did not have to take a part to WW II, you were able to develope your country and economics in the 40's-50's. We fought against over 200 million inhabitant nation and during that time our country's population was under 4 million. We were the only country who was not occupied (war losing one) after the war. Just look what happend to the baltic countries, Poland, Tsheks,Bulgaria,Romania,eastern part of Germany etc.etc. Even tough we were attacked by the russians we have to pay a huge amount of money and goodies to them after the war. It took us the whole 50's and big part of the '60's to bring back our economy to the western level. Nowadays our economy is at least the same level as Sweden has.It is also in top EU level, like also Sweden has. To all of our younger american friends: Finland was the only country in the world who paid pack to you all of it's world debts. That's for the history this time.

You're wellcome ;)

There are still quite a lot movement between Finland & Sweden, i know a lot of Swedes who have moved to Finland and work here. also vice versa. I have some relatives living in north of Göteborg, but their parents moved there in the late 40's. It was easy, because they were already swedish spoking. Finland is still bi-linqual country, two official lanquages; finnish & swedish. After all we have a long history together, when Finland was part of Sweden.
It's so easy to take a ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm or plane from Helsinki to Arlanda and visit friends in Sweden, which i have a lot :)

Yes it is. But I still  find it hard understand how our languages can be so different. Norweig, Denmark and Sweden can almost always understand eachother but Finnish is quite a mess^^
I have some Finnish friends to, ofcours in the Swedish-spoken region Vasa :P
