The first Red stripe represented Texaco, the famous American oil retail brand, who had partnered with BMW during the early days of M racing. Blue represented BMW and Bavarian region. The purple was used to represent the partnership and to allow for a nice transition between the two colors, blending as some may call it.

Yes. I specifically asked that question

RSL · 04-13-2012, 09:39 AM

I RSVP'd for this and received a confirmation within about 30 min., guess there is still plenty of room. Think they'll let us test drive the M5?

Make sure you actually get an RSVP confirm first if you haven't already; you'll need one.

SHADY1 · 04-16-2012, 09:01 PM

I will see you all there along with a few other "M" friends of mine

RSL · 04-16-2012, 09:23 PM

Awesome car SHADY, looking forward to seeing it in person. Confirms my suspicion, I don't have anywhere near enough carbon fiber

Not a problem. Glad to meet some local M folks, finally

whats77inaname · 04-27-2012, 08:06 PM

Talked to my SA today, 250ish people are attending

I tried to wringle-wrangle a test drive of the M5, he laughed at me *lol*

See y'all there!

Tora · 04-27-2012, 08:51 PM

Rodgers · 04-28-2012, 08:12 AM

Coming up from Houston, I will stop by and introduce myself. Maybe go for a drive after if anyone is in......

MSPORTWORLD · 05-02-2012, 10:01 PM

Apparently there's also an exotic car meet at Abuelos that day as well if the M Owners day gets boring.

So, how was it? Any pics? I couldn't make it

jphughan · 05-07-2012, 03:55 PM

I did a write-up here: http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=687155. Didn't include pics because pics of the cars are already everywhere, but a few other people have added some to that thread.
