Then you'll want an M3, then that won't be good enough and you'll want a GT3, then that won't be good enough, and you'll want Michael Schumacher's F1 car, and then that won't be enough, and you'll want your own space shuttle, and then that won't be enough and.....

Enjoy your NEW tuned 135i with cool wheels and exhaust

Hahahhahaha! Just want to use the 1s potential!

What's that story on that ///M man?

IRL-MN · 06-29-2010, 09:22 PM

I was in La Crosse today for work, and came across something that pissed me off on my way home. Just inside the MN border on I90 we passed a truck carrying a load of brand new bimmers, all open and covered in crap. I had hoped that bimmers destined for MN would ship on a train, or at least a covered truck?

Jred22 · 06-29-2010, 10:13 PM

Hey guys, figure i would post it here before i throw up a FS thread. i got a CF m-tech spoiler for an e90, and CF mirror caps for an e90 I'm looking to get rid of, both look and fit well, from JBspeed. PM if you're interested.

I think I am going to pass on it Gary, purely because I will miss the 1's straight line capabilities. Also, I think it is just too early. Though that m coupe is very special, I did a little research and there are many available, so if I was serious about one, I could have my pick on a number of cars.

Dont worry, your new Bimmer will be "detailed" before it is delivered to you

Have you joined the BMW CCA? You should do so, and then head to Road America for the track events they'll be running in August

That won't do much good if it ends up at the front of the trailer and gets sandblasted

Maybe I could pick it up in NJ and road trip back here covered in painters tape

ajvee · 06-30-2010, 11:14 AM

Chaps,

Given that the sun sets pretty late these days, how about we do a night meet with maybe dinner thrown in? We could pick a restaurant in the suburbs that has a nice parking lot. I am actually free saturday this weekend if any of you want to get together. Martin, Brian, Nick, and Gary could show off their fancy camera skills in the nightime.

Cheers.

Sounds good to me. Sat or Sun should work for me, I going out of town Tuesday so I'll be packing on Monday night.

prelude2perfect · 06-30-2010, 04:41 PM

Anyone in the Twin Cities area know where I might be able to use a BT Tool?

Gary,

I wouldn't worry too much about your car. You could try contacting your dealer (who'd you buy it from anyway) and ask if you can get it in NJ after it goes though customs but I'm not sure that is possible. I'm sure it will be fine though.

Nick

haha, I could only imagine the response if I called the dealer and asked! The only problem is me being too anal retentive

He is damn right. I am yet to do any significant mods to my car though...

It would be great to meet up with some of you guys. I'm new to this particular forum and it would be nice to put some faces to the screen names.

This weekend is no good. Next weekend is a possibility though...

BrianMN · 07-01-2010, 08:27 PM

Im in for a meet any night!

mocad · 07-01-2010, 11:22 PM

Hey all. Just a friendly (first) post from a fellow Minnesotan. I recently got a new (to me) 335. The weather's been great for driving this week here. I'll check this thread to see if you decide to meet up. Like others, this weekend is taken already with a trip to Chicago.

Welcome! Keep an eye on our summer meet thread too - we are planning a get together late August.

IRL-MN · 07-02-2010, 08:44 AM

So are we doing a mini-meet this weekend??

Yes! so far it is Anvar, Brian, and Gary for tomorrow at 7:30 PM (Saturday, the 3rd of July). Please feel free to bring your significant others as well. My first pick is somewhere in the burbs with a good parking lot so we won't have to worry about beige minivans opening their doors into our cars. I will think about some restaurant options and post them up. One option to consider is a bowling event, as I have a coupon where we can all bowl for free. I am quite eager to showcase my bowling skills!
