First Ever UK Meet

booforty · 10-23-2005, 10:22 AM

Come on all you UK E90's, isn't it about time we had a meet? Sign up here if you're interested.

NPinUK · 10-23-2005, 11:15 AM

I been waiting for some one to mention this but my car doesn't arrive till the end of November. Even if there was a meet were would most people like to do it.

vivekk · 10-24-2005, 04:07 PM

I'm up for a meet- just name the place & the time!
Just got the e90 sticker today as well.

underDAWG · 10-24-2005, 05:21 PM

I'd love to come....

UK is a big country, where in UK?

webcoll · 10-24-2005, 05:40 PM

Yeah, count me in. I'm in Surrey but will travel.

Guess it should be somewhere central depending on where everyone lives.

Dave

booforty · 10-25-2005, 07:22 AM

Yes, somewhere in Central England would be fair.

Let's see if we can get a few more to join then narrow down dates and locations

Come on you UK E90's - where are you? Come and join the first UK meet!

- Paul - · 10-25-2005, 12:04 PM

Central good for me - I'm in Yorkshire - I suggested this a while ago on the UK forum but it never got off the ground!

vivekk · 10-25-2005, 04:19 PM

Yorkshire would be good for me too!

jhbodle · 10-25-2005, 05:35 PM

Bring it on!!

I live down in the South East.

booforty · 10-26-2005, 04:16 AM

Hi all, so there's six of us now, not a bad number for a meet. Any ideas on a good location in Central England to meet so that its fair for everyone?

carl_d · 10-26-2005, 06:27 AM

YES - I'm in Oxfordshire.

chrisbin · 10-26-2005, 07:04 AM

Hi - sorry, not ignoring this thread, or you guys....its just that I think it unlikely that I will make it........find it hard enough to get along to a monthly Pistonheads meet that is only 15 minutes from home!!!!

booforty · 10-26-2005, 09:15 AM

So me, carl_d, jhbodle and webcoll are in the South/South East and vivekk and 1stnewcar are in Yorkshire.

The halfway point is probably somewhere off the M1, maybe near Leicester.

Its going to be a fair drive for everyone. What's the general consensus?

JonMad · 10-26-2005, 11:27 AM

Hi! I'd come along to this but don't have an E90 yet! Had a 72-hour demonstrator at the weekend and am trying to find a lease 320d M Sport Touring in Le Mans blue that is available with a december delivery. Currently the dealers are quoting January which of course means +3% in tax. I could go for an SE but want the Le Mans blue, alcantara seats and M wheel too much.

Cheers, Jon

booforty · 10-26-2005, 12:07 PM

Hi Jon, you would be more than welcome of course!

But don't worry if you can't make the first meet, I'm sure if the first one works out, there will be others......

vivekk · 10-26-2005, 04:11 PM

Leicester/Nottingham area is fine for me.
One Saturday afternoon would be good.
1stnewcar & I can lead the northern convoy!

- Paul - · 10-26-2005, 04:37 PM

Ok with that area aswell - A Saturday good for me also.

thebigman · 10-26-2005, 05:35 PM

Nobody fancy a meet to Orkney then?!!!

My E90 got rear ended on the weekend so I won’t be able to make anything for a while grrrrrrrrrrr…..

SteveG · 10-26-2005, 05:47 PM

Count me in.

I live in Leicestershire so that's perfect. When i had my Golf Anniversary model we used to have meetings at Donnington Park circuit. There is a cafe there where you can grab a snack and a hot drink etc.

It's off J24a of the M1 if it's any use.

Cheers,

Steve.

- Paul - · 10-27-2005, 07:19 AM

Excellent Idea, can go round the museum after ogling all the e90,s

carl_d · 10-27-2005, 08:48 AM

Just a suggestion, how about Rockingham as it has links with BMW?

booforty · 10-27-2005, 09:30 AM

Rockingham would be great, but Donnington is also a good choice. What does everybody think? Would the Yorkshire boys be prepared to meet at Rockingham?

How about we suggest a date too? How about Saturday 12th November at 2:00pm?
