I'm going to post a message on facebook and message all the attendees tonight about where they are meeting. I think we have about 3-4 that would like to meet in Gastonia, and a couple will be meeting us in Marion before lunch.

I was wondering about when and to meet the small group in Gastonia near 321... I think it takes about 45 min from Charlotte to get to the gas station we met at last time.

Here's where we met last time. Petro Express gas station on 321 just North of I-85. Going North on 321 it's on the right hand side.

Petro Express 2106 North Chester Street, Gastonia, NC 28052-1839

How many made the drive? I just got my first E93 M3 order confirmed and am already on pins and needles waiting for the order to advance. I've got a place a mile off the BRP just north of the Grand View Overlook. May join you guys on a drive after I take delivery.

Probably about 30 cars.

Here is a pic that a guy took up there. He comes out every weekend and just sits and waits on cars, bikes, farm animals, whatever to pass.

Too cool! Picking up my M3 at the Performance Center tomorrow, and will take the Blue Ridge Parkway up as far as Blowing Rock. Looks like a blast!

I love the curves on the Parkway can't wait to test them a little bit. I've never been pulled over there but I've also never driven a car like this one there either.

Man you will have a blast. I am actually going to be at the PC tomorrow as well for a corporate event. Looking forward to seeing your E90 in the delivery bay. I still think about when I picked my M up almost two years ago. It was an exciting day.

I ordered my cabrio on 3/10 and just found out it is in the paint shop and has a production completion date of 3/18. Is that fast, or what?

I can't wait to hear when I'm scheduled for the performance center.

Ugh. Performance Center scheduled for 5/19. They must really be backlogged.
