[Hornung418]

Sweet. I'll keep everyone posted. Hoping for success tonight.

[kpro]

[06ZhP]

Anyone in need of a wide screen monitor for their navigation retrofit..I could bring it down and save shipping :shift

[danewilson77]

Justin,

If you wanna roll in the Imola, let me know. JM has dibs though...lol.

[danewilson77]

Just a reminder that everyone needs to bring a 20 dolla bill, for entrance into the meet.

Per car

[330i ZHP]

per car - you can stuff as many illegal immigrants in the back as you want

[Hornung418]

Will be rolling in the Altima. SOB e46 is going to get fixed and then I'm buying a 951. I've had it for the time being.

[M3TA5IN]

We got room for you too Justin if need be.

Justin,
Back of the wagon & you can snooze on the ride in. JK, open seats if you need one.

[BCS_ZHP]

Stu, I'd rather get my money back if possible, the rears have no lip and were supposed to have 3" + besides that the face of the wheels sticks out past the tires on the front, they just don't look right, and look nothing like any picture of any F14F on the Internet.

Bruce, thanks for the phone call, I will take you up on your offer :). Very kind of you and Preston.

So come home tonight, Preston's car is in a garage slot washed & waxed, wheels beaming, and he sheepishly asks -- dad, if the wheels fit do you think K-Pro would let me drive her car? I told him all he had to do was ask.

Kristen, BTW, I ran some offset/wheel width/tire size calculations today and these wheels should stand very proud on your 135, think you're going to like it a lot.

Finally have my stuff packed and the bimmer taped up for the journey. Took longer to tape than I expected it would. Driving up to meet my buddy in the morning. Ah!! Excitement!! Will take pics of tape job as I know he and I will be the only two who see it. Other than the massive amounts of traffic I will be encountering tomorrow.

Time for bed. 8 am comes early today lol

Tell Preston, I will let him drive it :-). I realllllly appreciate his kindness. My stock wheels with snow tires are going to look less than awesome on his car.

[Hornung418]

Does anyone coming down have pasoft 1.4.0?

That's apparently what I need to get my car running.

She's not gonna make it to the meet, but afterwards we can swing by my house and do some coding.

I have it, however I will have a passenger with me that has another 1 hour to drive home after I get home, so I'd have to consult with him before I volunteer. How far out of the way is your house?

I pmed you about those inner tail lights but I guess it's to late now. HAHAHA

[1 M Mike]

Hate to break the news late like this, but I'll be a no-show for the show. Had two employee's decide to take vacation time and as team leader it would have left just one person in the office, and things are too crazy in the bldg. to stick anyone with that chore.

So one less 1 M in the lot. I think there's supposed to be 10 or 11 other 1 M's.

Anyway, looking forward to the pics and posts from you folks that make the gig.

Wait 'til next year. :)

Wasn't by it so i didn't get any, just saw the smoke. It was going on in the back of the parking lot.

I must have left right before that started. I was exhausted and BURNT! I had a great time meeting everyone!!!

I didnt take many photos but I'll upload what ever I did take...

[zhpnsnv]

I left @ noonish. Once you've seen one M3 . . . hahaha That said, it was great to see some Mafia Brethren! Thanks to Dane for organizing our roll up.

Best car I saw @ Bimmerfest East?

My old ZHP. Yup. New owner was there with the car. Gotta love that.

There was a lot more than there were last year and there were 3 or 4 on display that were just incredible. One had a complete carbon fiber body. They said they knocked 800 lbs off the car

Huge thanks to Preston for lending me the VMR-s. We just got home about 15 minutes ago. Not many pics here either.

Whoa! That's some serious lipo suction going on there.

One series owners are arguably the most serious modders in the marque. Crazy to see what they come up with sometimes.

Thanks, the regret is mutual. Hopefully we can pull it off next year, and your wheel fiasco is worked out amicably and she's sporting new ones by then. But in the meantime best wishes and prayer's on your upcoming addition to the family.

There was definitely 1 other 135is, a vert in Lemans/Black. I saw what I thought was another one from a distance in Alpine, but I didn't confirm it was an IS. There were a bunch of 1Ms there, several of them wrapped in odd colors. One was plastidipped a hideous blue. There were several 135s. All in all, I'd say the E82 was well represented.

I thought their lack of organizational skills on two fronts was honestly impressive -- on the one hand, the total lack of group parking even though that was the entire point of group parking, and on the other hand, the fact that this massive parking lot has NO exit except the entrance which had double lanes of traffic going IN for the first 3.5 hours of the event.

I asked the parking dudes where the exit was, and they said, "I don't know." Then they proceeded to stop traffic for everyone who wanted to exit. hahahaha

It was great seeing you guys. I enjoyed seeing so many BMWs. We left around 2 PM, but regained energy after lunch and went back. I am glad we did. I saw a pretty nice looking 1974 2002. It was for sale. I talked to the owner a while; he offered to let me drive it...I did. Kinda rough handling, but I enjoyed it. I had expected to see more vintage cars. M3s were a dime a dozen; no joy in that.

[BCS_ZHP]

Adolfo, don't leave us hanging -- '02 are you gonna do? A ton of folks here could live vicariously thru you if you follow the Nike commercial, JUST DO IT!!!

Bruce, He wanted $12K for it. It may have been worth it, but I can't afford it right now...other priorities. My wife got a video of me driving it, so at least I can relive the moment whenever I want to.

So what I am reading between the lines here is that you need the Mafia parking crew to show them how it's done? :waldo

Stuart, it was certainly our pleasure. You have a beautiful daughter and no doubt you are very proud.

One of those parental things I found out belatedly during Bimmerfest, Preston has a badly broken hand (he was slower than molasses when we changed wheels), it seems some other kid's face/head ran into his hand a week earlier. (No, didn't ask how/why nor do I need the details.). He's going to have surgery Monday, some pins will be put in his hand to reset it, then a cast for 4 weeks.
