— The Voice of E31 Owners —
April 2024 President’s Update – by Henry Christoff (hchristoff850@telus.net)
Hello, E31 owners & enthusiasts, Happy Weekend!
The big news for April is the multi-page 850CSi story with photos in the April issue of Roundel Magazine written by our own Roger Wray. Several weeks ago we knew this was coming but were just not sure it would be in the April issue. Congratulations and a big thank you to Roger for producing such an engaging story about his “Car & Driver” CSi #18. Thanks also to, Roundel editor, Satch Carlson and, Roundel/BimmerLife layout & design guru, W. Lyn Rayburn for bringing the story and photos to life.
