Awesome!

[TC535i]

I'll see if I can drop by on my lunch break. :(

[Qube]

Another thousand kilo drive :) Need to arrange a cruise this time...

You'll have plenty of time to "cruise" driving down from Canada....:D

Yeah, but it's lonely :) I've picked up a 10-20mm F4 so things should be better this time around for pics.

[632 Regal]

I'm going to bring the 8, my E34 looks like it's been in a battle with freeway shrapnel.

[Gayle]

We all know you want to show off the 8. You don't need to make a lame excuse about the e34. It looked fine if not great last summer. But it is ok if you don't bring the e34. We all want to see the 8 anyway. Your 8 will be the 'it' car of this year's meet.

[Jr ///M5]

Sure would like to see the new 8....too bad I'm gonna have to walk over to the *other* parking lot to see it....:D

You don't want to park by those old E34's anyway...;)

Good choice for the ROAD TRIP Jeff...does junior still want to come with? I was afraid he was a little bored last year. Maybe we could bring something like a remote control car for him to tear up for the day. Let us know, ok?

Jr

[632 Regal]

Junior has a buttload of remote vehicles which his ADHD dont use. The fishing pole last year that Ed provided gave us some awsome pictures of the little lake in the park. Duckies floating around and beautiful scenery was excellent. I'm not sure on vehicle but the 8 is the likely victom if we have less than 3 people.

Chicago is 2 hours from me.


Can M3's come?

[nuclearfusion]

I really regret missing the meet last year. Looks like I'll miss it again this year though - too bad Chicago is so far from the West Coast. (I know I know - it's a lame excuse)

It would be great to make it down though, particularly with both cars...

Enjoy!

I don't understand your post.

Let me know how I may contribute.

[nuclearfusion]

I don't understand your post.

I don't understand it either.

[Brandon J]

Well thanks Ross for the offer. I will have more information in the next few weeks. Been busy as I just moved into a new home. This is again going to be a great event. I do not have to say more than what was written by bimmer.info's own Jr in the Roundel. The event webpage will updated for all the information. For those that did make it out last year, it will be at the same place. I am looking forward to karting and then drinks the night before, putting names to the friendly faces. Will keep all of you updated..

How about you come to the west coast e34 meet?

It's being planned.

[Gayle]

Fushion- I think you have been busted. Where on the west coast are you?

[Digita1 Ecstasy]

Must be that "Youngin" talk.


My fav body kit is the Alpina. I hate pin stripping but for some reason I love it on the Bi-Turbo. I love the racing suspension also. I wanted some but they are like rediculous 2k$.


You should try and come so I can photograph your cars. Maybe get a ride.

Those of us who are not "youngins" need a more literal translation. Spell it out for the senile contingent please.

Actually I remember--you consider yourself to be a liquor affectionado. Were you following your passion when you made that post?

[Macv]

Oh Oh am I invited? ;)

[Gayle]

Mac, from my position as social director of bimmer.info, let me issue you a special invitation to bring your sparkling personality and your beautiful 540 to Chicago to have it photographed by Digital Estacy. You will have so much fun, it will feel like the shortest day of your life.:)

[Digita1 Ecstasy]

Well, I at least prefer to imagine I take quality photos.


There is kind of an Ubrandictionary.com definition for "Rape" - To utterly defeat another person in any form of competitive activies. Or To absolutely destroy.

Which Imo the Alpina does, and then I went in some small depth to explain why they do. Its also the fastest car ive ever felt so maybe im biased. Its just so gorgeous and sexy.


So with this urban word. The Alpina Bi-Turbo "rapes" all other E34's.

(imo)


Edit: Bah Gayle, your editing your posts as im writting responses.
And no I can't get drunk at work. So sad.

Thanks for the education. I appreciate it.

So you can't get drunk at work, but you can get paid for hanging out on the internet and talking trash with us. Sweet.

[Macv]

I'm there. Itll be a week late 18th birthday present. Anyone planning a caravan from Indiana (around Muncie?)

[Digita1 Ecstasy]

Damn. You must be pretty popular having a 540 in High School.

[Macv]

I dunno about popular, but its for damn sure the prettiest car my school's ever seen. Probably the most cared for as well.

My dream job.

Fushion- I think you have been busted. Where on the west coast are you?

Hi Gayle,

I'm in Vancouver, BC - a bit of a drive still. We have some renovations going on this summer too, so it looks like we'll have to miss it.

I'll be looking forward to another photo essay though - your last was terrific.

Enjoy!

hmmm..... i may give it a shot this year if nothing comes up like last year, wonder if i can get my engine built, blower installed and fuel injection system built in time on da e30 $$$ :D

Geez.....it seems like time flys so quick when your 5ver is on jackstands !:( I hope this year I can make it. I'm alot closer to getting Greta all put back together.Even have all the right ACS goodies to put on/in her.
Now if I can just finish painting the hood,decklid,mirrors,bumpers,side skirts......and bolt them all back on.:D
Oh yeah.....I even rounded up some ACS sport springs from Germany too ! I'm finished modifying the stainless ACS exhaust,so its ready to install.
SPeaking of exhaust......I'm exhausted from sourcing all this ACS original stuff.I'm done with that,thank God.
Hope to meet you all in the Windy City !!

[Qube]

Oh no. Any possibility for a date change? 9-10 is Woofstock. I got married a few months back. Bought two puppies week back. She will want me to go to Woofstock with her that weekend with the puppies :| http://www.woofstock.ca/

[Brandon J]

Sorry, no possibility for a change. Event changes are not easy in any way.

WOOFSTOCK? That's a bad precedent to set in the marriage. While the wife is asleep sneak into her purse and retrieve your testicals.


Uh, hope my dog crazy GF doesn't hear of this.

[Dr. Bimmer]

Sounds great, hopefully my restoration will be finished.:D

[bimmerd00d]

Thanks to Brandon J, i'm a few parts closer to finishing the E34 for the trip! I'm still a long way from finishing it, but maybe i'll have it in good enough shape to drive up. Anyone have a set of door lock actuators they'd be willing to part with??? :D

I have to pop a door actuator in too! Mod day at the meet, haha

[Macv]

Someone should rent a fender roller, so we could .... you know .... roll our fenders. :)

FENDER ROLLING MEET!!! WOOOOO

[winfred]

i can get one for about $275

[Macv]

RENT for 275?!? I could buy one for that. (That's probably what you meant though.)

I'd pay to have my rears rolled if you had it. :)

[Spice Boy]

Rolled?

[Macv]

You roll your fenders to eliminate any rubbing from fender to tire. It's needed with really wide wheels/tires, especially lowered.

[winfred]

rolled :D (http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/11/26/427251/rolled.mpg)


Rolled?

[Brandon J]

The local CCA chapter lends them out for free.

Could you get one?

[mikeythekidd]

Already got the room booked! Driving out from Minneapolis on Friday.

[winfred]

i was dicking around looking at rates and it looked like about the cheapest was $50 a night at a roachtel 6 but i was thinking about the la quenta with broadband and breakfast in the upper $70s, ain't decided

[Ross]

Freeloading 101
$50 at the roachtel, walk across the street for free breakfast at the LaQuinta.

[Brandon J]

Since I have not found time yet to do the new e34 event website, I want to take a rough poll of who is planning to attend this year. Last year was uber fun especially getting into the Roundel.

[bimmerd00d]

I'll be first to say YES. I'll be heading up from Dallas. I'm open to going through St. Louis or Memphis, depending on who wants to caravan up. I will probably leave on either thursday or early early friday. Maybe we could setup a thread or addition to the site for people who would like to meet up and caravan.

[632 Regal]

I'm on my way but in the 8 this year, need to do some paint work on the 5 sometime this summer (hopefully before the meet).

[Ross]

If there will be a beater award I'll make it a point to put the 535's motor back together.

[stargazer_61]

Hotel reservation is set and the 540 is ready to roll. Coming in Thursday to do some sightseeing before the meet. Looking forward to it!

Anyone else going up from NC?

[Ross]

Recently did that drive myself, through St. Louis. Rt.69 in OK. is highly recommended for rapid travel.

[Fetch]

I'll be there for sure!

[Jr ///M5]

I'll be there....

[Scott H]

and when tax season is over, I'll look in to planning karting again for the night before. That event turned out well last year.

[saluki540i]

If anybody comes up thru IL via I-57 I'm in Carbondale - about 20 min. or so W. of the interstate. Visitors are welcome

[Macv]

I'll be there with the 540 the 8th 9th and 10th!!

PARTYYYY!!!

Anyone leaving the 8th taking I65 from Indy gimme a PM.

[Macv]

Are we still at grove 4 this year?

We're comming. Leaving Minneapolis Friday night right after oldest kids graduation ceremony. Already booked @ Airport Marriott.

Yeah, that is the grove. The same as last year.

If any of you are up here early, let me know. I will plan something fun like going to a pub or BBQ at my house. Of course, if there are any emergency repairs, umm like last year's gas tank, that takes priority.

I can't wait. Every year I wish it lasted longer and I guess the feeling is due to the people who attend rather than the actual time length. Having that e34 only day is simpy priceless. I cannot believe this is going to be the 7th year for the annual e34 meet. Next year is the 20th anniversary of the e34.

Thanks Qube for the pic below.

That's why I'm leaving early, just to hang out with anyone before-hand. However, being under 21 may exclude me from any pub. :D

When?

[Dave Rutkowski]

I should be there.

[paul p (chi-town)]

I should be there.Errr,
All the locals being tentative.............weak sauce. LOL
I’ll be there even if i don’t own an e34.



Buuuut, i can’t seem to get rid of this one, so, i'll help keep the count up.
Jeff, man up....you have lots of other gearhead gatherings to take the e31 to.


BTW, WhereTF is Ed......call me.


”Hang up & Drive!”
94 BMW 530iT&A 135K, ‘Helga’ ( for sale...........WHOOPS, daily driver *confused* )

Well, there are a lot of bar/grill places so you can stick with just the carbonated drinks. Chi-town is a fun city, especially in the summer.

No Problem Brandon, Not sure why I was thinking it was in August last year. I'll get down there one of these times as long as the car is still going. Looking forward to seeing the pics

[BuckNaked]

Holy shiite! Did anyone catch this:

Yokohama/Tire Rack/Windy City BMW Challenge (http://www.bmwcca.org/node/6169)

Looks like a full on Bimmer Weekend in Chicago!

I need some details. It looks like I am off that weekend, and things may work out. I will need recommendations for a nice hotel. I suppose we should roll in Friday night and stay Saturday night as well.

[Dave M]

Oh no. Any possibility for a date change? 9-10 is Woofstock. I got married a few months back. Bought two puppies week back. She will want me to go to Woofstock with her that weekend with the puppies :| http://www.woofstock.ca/

OK, that may be the lamest excuse I've heard to-date. And this is coming from a dog lover. I love em, I just don't bend over for em :D. I second the ball retrieval from said wife's purse as we need a hearty representation from north of the border. I really hope to make it this year.

Oh, I'm finally getting around installing the HID kit you sent me. I had a bunch of work to do with the projectos you also sent (at least I think you sent me the projectors??). I did a major re-furbish with another spare set I salvaged from an e32 owner. I can't wait to see the light.

Dave

[Brandon J]

Yup! I've been to it and it is fun, but it is simply another autocross. So, you might be too tired after Saturday.

[E34 530]

i was dicking around looking at rates and it looked like about the cheapest was $50 a night at a roachtel 6 but i was thinking about the la quenta with broadband and breakfast in the upper $70s, ain't decided

That's where I stayed last time. I dominated the free breakfast and left nothing for the German tourists. ;)

[E34 530]

Also id there any chance we can also have like a seperate "install-fest?" I think that would be kinda fun.

[Macv]

"install-fest?"

For what? You mean like a time to do any random little mods?

That would be a great idea.

[DaCan23]

I hit Maybe.... I really wanna go and I've been droppin hints to the soon to be wife since my surgery prevented me from goin last year.... and it can double as a time to visit the IL relatives, especially since they won't be at our wedding in May.... oh wait... we'll see how they do on gifts 1st LOL.... and it can triple as time to visit her cousin.... oh and theres a slim chance it could quadrupple as a time to take delivery of Scotts wifes E46.....

E34_530...
What route do you take? I am near Niagara Falls and I am debating whether or not to go through Canada or stay 90 west... I wonder if the speed limits are more liberal in Canada.

[Qube]

If someone would caravan near Toronto I'd go this year and ditch Woofstock... ;)

Qube, I hear there is a little 'MAXBIMMER all BMW' cruise lined up for the 22nd of this month in TO. Are you going to be there? I was thinking of coming up with my son for the day.

[Qube]

Well if you're going to make the trip up to TO, then I'll highly consider joining. I rarely do MAXBIMMER events because they are mostly e30s and e46s.

[BuckNaked]

I kinda figured as much, but it would be my first BMW gathering. I am pretty sure, but I won't know until next weekend if I can get the sunday off. I'll let you know.

[632 Regal]

think that was 3 years ago...bad as me.

[dacoyote]

I plan on being there... sans e34 this year :-(

[winfred]

i started thinking last night about maybe not coming, the almost 1900 mile round trip being the main complaint, and i could roll it into a trip to see the family but they are like another 400-450 miles off to the right, that's a **** load of gas money and a flat ass if nothing else

Since I plan to be at the meet, I am going to bring two certificates for chips as "door" prizes.

I just called my cousin to tell him we are coming to visit.

I'll be in this area: (I fuzzified his address a bit for privacy)

My wife asked me which M5 we are driving... I think we will take hers.

[Qube]

WAIT WAIT! You're driving? When? Who else?
