At ///Mfest everyone is welcome to join (not just BMW M owners) as long as you follow a simple rule, that is " to have fun and be respectful with others"

Words by Jo Cajita...

Karl Rapp and Gustav Otto must be smiling from the heavens above. In the hundreds, Bavarian beasts of different shapes and sizes swarmed around the local Starbucks in Barstow, CA and eagerly waited to roll out to paint Las Vegas red. March 7, 2008 was the date when the very first ///MFest commenced.

It all started out as a spontaneous idea, from enthusiasts like you, before 2008 crawled in. A 30-some group of M-inspired car fanatics gathered several times for years to get away from the hustle of Southern California to enjoy Las Vegas with the ones they love most - their cars. Laidback and the guys wanted to share this brand of fun with every single car nut on the face of the earth by "Redefining the enthusiast and the community through camaraderie." That camaraderie that emerged from this event has grown since then.

The question is, “Are You Ready?”

If you are ready, ///MFest 3 is just around the corner once again!

Here are some of the details!!!
///MFest 3 "VIP"

A Few Simple Rules:

1. Relax don't be too uptight... Remember you are coming to ///MFest to have fun..Meet your fellow enthusiasts/new friends and have a good time.
2. "RESPECT" one another.
3. If you are thinking of testing the limits of your car/s on public roads, this is NOT the right event for you.
4. On the caravan and group drives please be respectful of others and do not follow too close. No stupid or unnecessary moves that put YOU and OTHERS in harm’s way.
5. If you are going to "complain/whine or be cocky " during and especially after ///MFest, please we highly advise you not to go.
6. Any misconduct from ANY of the participants of ///MFest will not be tolerated during ///MFest.
7. Kindly take the time to listen to the announcements that we will be making.

And most importantly have FUN as that's what ///MFest is all about and don't forget to SMILE!!!

Haha! Don't thank me! I'm just a supporter bruddah...thank all the guys who attend the event and make it fun!

I don't need a room either since I got a house there too...thing is...I don't wanna be driving back and forth the hotel and miss out a fully packed weekend of events...I did the whole house thing during MFest I and man I missed out on a lot...

MFest II I learned my lesson. I was at the redrock! woohoo!!!

And for those who are worried about not having an M...do not be at all! let me give you examples. I for one...I drive a grocery getter, but I get along fine with the Ms...don't let that letter intimidate you. we're all enthusiasts. It's kind of hard to explain through post, but you'll know what I mean when we're out together in vegas. I have met the best of friends through this community. People I would take a bullet for...Other examples would be Ford GT, Porsche, and other Exotic Car afficionados! They all used to have BMWs but because we all keep a strong bond, us current bimmerheads have them on board for life!!!

Gather up your 335 buddies, and roll out together. Doesn't matter if you're not an "M". It's not a requirement. There were lots of non M's at MFEST II.

Roll out with us in one of the caravans. The'll be a few throughout So Cal. (LA, OC, IE, SD, etc)
