Turkey E31 Owner Joins Registry Team

Mr. Fatih Aloglu joins the Inventory Project Team from Turkey. As the proud owner of a 1990 M70 850iA and a 1996 M73 850CiA Individual, Mr. Aloglu brings his lifelong passion to the E31 Registry by sharing a number of interesting E31's, including a long-lost Alpina B12 5.0 and reportedly the "last" delivered 850CSi by a BMW dealer in Turkey in 1997.

Mr. Aloglu joins a growing global team of 8er enthusiasts dedicated to the preservation and cataloging effort of the E31 for future BMW fans. For more information about the BMW Inventory Project team, please visit here.

As of 31-July-2009, the team has cataloged 4,497 8er's (14.7%) of the 30,621 E31's manufactured 1989-1999. So far in 2009, we have accumulated information, pictures, and sales data on 878 8er's from all over the world. Our goal is to catalog 25%, or 7,655 8er's, sometime during 2010.
