Byeyou
We quickly got under the hood of byeyou's touring. He has swapped a 2.8 from a wrecked 1998 3 series along with its manual tranny. He's got some very hot T-Stars that he got for spare change almost. He still has a spare engine with the carcass of the 3.

I had wondered if a 2.8 could fit in there.

Qube
I took some close-ups of Qube's e39 and a quick engine shot. A very hot car indeed.
Notice the bug squats, one in the rear wheel lip.

Though he complains much about the rust and the lack of its finish, I find it's really nice. I love black as a color. He's not done detailing it, but he's working on it. He promises us a nice post on the CD changer he's going to install.

Yours truly, I did not take many shots of mine since I had not washed off the rain dust, and also since I'm driving it, I did not insist much on it.

The second pic shows a dent I must have gotten last night, or before.*I only had noticed it when I came back home a few hours ago, and you can see it there.*Nothing that buffing won't fix, but it's dented all right.*Not deep at least.

Group pics
We were at first a bit scattered, then we lined up.

We're pretty keen on another meet, perhaps in Kingston Ontario, half-way between Montreal and Toronto, sometime this summer.

Nothing's stopping us to make another meet locally, since Reppenttokyo, BMG and Monastie did not make it; plus MurderBlack would have come if he had his ride out of the shop.

[byeyou]

It was a nice meet...lookin' forward to the next one...hopefully more could make it. Thanks for posting...really nice photos!:)

[MurderBlack]

looks like it was nice meet! we should setup another meet early to make sure alot more people can make it.

[byeyou]

Yes i agree we should set-up a meet again, get it organized so alot of us will come and offcorse good weather is on the way....

[bad_manners_god]

Nice pics guys, wish I could have made it.

Does byeyou's 2.8 bolt up like a S52?

If we go down to Kingston, do we go as a group or idividually?

[525i winter driver]

great pics - thanks for posting... it was nice to meet you guys.

byeyou's touring is hotter than a penguin on a sidewalk in nevada.

looking forward to the next one - kingston is an awesome idea, i will remove my max speed gong warning just for the occasion. :)

[BMWDriver]

We can certainly travel together.

[BMWDriver]

We were gone right about 15 minutes before you arrived I think. We were at the Botanical
Garden on Sherbrooke Street, about at the end of the parking lot, right beside a mountain of melting snow.

We'll make another one, soon hopefully. But we'll have to find another spot because the Botanical Garden and Ile Sainte-Hélène are bound to get busy with the sun coming out. Not to mention that they will be soon into preping the track for its racing purpose (F1 race on June 8).

Guess I should start a new thread on that subject.

Bimmershop (http://www.bimmershop.ca) did the work for him. You could ask Sébastien, he's really cool and into what he does. I love his shop.

[Monastie]

i did take some pics... but none of them compare to either qube's or bmwdriver's - great pics, guys - they're going onto the storage disk - thanks!

[Qube]

It's not about comparison, it's about sharing :) If you want the full res ones, let me know. They are 3MB a piece.

[BMWDriver]

Yeah, if you want some of mine too, I think they're about 1MB each.

Send me the one where we see the full Stadium Qube. Also the one of mine.

Great shots dude.

We'll be the judge of your pics 525iWD !
