An E30 Restoration Story
NCC Member Spotlight:
Ryan Groll
dB recently had the good fortune to
spend some time with fellow enthusiast
and HPDE participant, Ryan Groll.
Ryan has a couple of Ultimate Driving
Machines, and we hear that he's in the
process of restoring one of them.
dB: Tell us a little about yourself and
how you came to be a member of NCC

purchased as a fun weekend car that
soon racked up the miles...7,000 to
be exact, in six short months (weekend
driving only!) OOOPS! I joined
National Capital Chapter BMW CCA
the week I picked up the car.
After that, I discovered the

track. The car has been to Summit
Point and to VIR, and it is amazing.
I have learned a great deal about the car and have learned to respect its capabilities.
At the time, I had an old right-hand-drive Land Rover that I wanted
to restore, a task for which I was in over my head. I sold that vehicle and
started to look for a very specific car to restore: a 1987 325is five-speed E30.
