Sweden E31 Owner Joins Registry Team

Mr. Per Helmer joins the Inventory Project Team from Sweden. As the proud owner of a 1992 German-spec M70 850i since 04/2004, Mr. Helmer brings his life-long 8 Series passion to the E31 Registry by coordinating the catalog effort for E31's residing in Sweden (approaching 175 8's).

Mr. Helmer 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. The team is open to having other countries represented on the team and are welcome to contact us here.

As of 30-April-2010, the team has cataloged 5,247 8er's of the 30,621 E31's manufactured 1989-1999. Our goal is to catalog 25%, or 7,655 8er's, sometime during 2010.

Welcome Per!
