Allow me to introduce...myself.

I have now invited myself to your wonderful forum (after much protest from my friends who are already on here ).

Let's see, as far as e90's go, I occasionally drive my boyfriends - its slow and doesn't smell enough like an e30 for my taste.

As for work, I play with ChaseCams and racecars.
Hey look! An e90 with a giant man standing next to me!


Anyway, here are some pics of my hooptie that currently smells like the fine dirt of buttonwillow. Transformation to complete race car will hopefully be complete this winter.

Thunderhill


Buttonwillow


Laguna


Sears


That's it.

good to see ya here. Too bad the streets of willow event was canceled, it would have been nice to see the E36 in action again.

I ended up going to Buttonwillow with Speedventures the following Sunday. No track days planned yet except for SDBMWCCA at Buttonwillow in Sept. I'll be on staff and I believe helping Matt with the Club Race, so hopefully I'll get a couple sessions/day.

He is pretty tall, several inches above 6' is tall. Especially when you're only 5'2".

Nope, I've got work in Michigan this weekend. Plus, they won't let me bring the e36 back to qualcomm until I quiet her down.

Welcome Kim. I can assure you there are some FAST E90's here, well, in a straight line at least. Twisties are what the M is for. Planning to do the SD event too - one of the few that run Star Mazda. Can't wait for the show, should be more exciting than the Fontana race.

ButtonWillow School/Race is Sept 19-20.

ClubRace should be interesting, we have decided to mix it up a little and skip the Bus Stop for the Race group, which should open up some more passing opportunities. I know the slower, better handling cars, including myself really like the Bus Stop, but there is just now way to make a Competitive pass in that section. Believe me, I've tried.

Kim, I thought you were told you weren't allowed on here!!!!!!!!

I'm good, super busy with work. I just got back from Michigan yesterday, and on Thursday I leave for Road America. Then immediately after, I fly straight from WI to Laguna Seca. I really do love my job, but damn I'm getting tired!

I'll be at Buttonwillow with my e36 on staff, and I believe I'll be helping with the club race as well. Should be fun. The only bummer is that I'll have to wait until after Buttonwillow to start tearing my car apart. Oh well.

Btw, my new shoes came. You should swing by and check them out.
