M Car Day at Griot's Garage, Sunday August 19, 2012

Aug 19, 2012 - 10:30 AM - 2:00 PM

In what has now become a tradition, August is the month of the BMWCCA M-Car Day at Griot’s Garage. This year, it’ll be on Sunday August 19th and the wonderful folks at Griot’s Garage will once again be our hosts. Their new facility is perfect for such an event as it provides ample space to park and display our beautiful M Cars. In addition their flagship store is worth the trip alone.

M Car Day is the one and only day in the year when M Cars owners get together to celebrate and appreciate all of the wonderful BMW M Cars that have thrilled us over the years. Last year, we had 175 cars. About every M Car type ever produced was present: From the original M1 to the recently introduced 1M Coupe, along with some special and unique M Cars. Let’s try to break the record this year. Bring your M Car and park alongside fellow members to compare notes on modifications and common maintenance items. M Car day is typically one of the largest events at Griot’s Garage. Let’s make it THE largest!

Please plan to roll in between 10:30 and 11 am so we can direct you to the appropriate section to park your car. Like years past, we’ll park M cars by chassis type. We’ll also have a section for regular chassis that have had M Power engine transplants.

Here is a rough agenda for the day:

Griot’s Garage will provide each M Car owner in attendance with a free Car Care Product sample at registration. There will also be special discounts in their on-site store, so bring your shopping list.
Around 11 am, Griot’s Garage car care specialists will pick a lucky car from the attendees for a car care demo in their garage.
Haury’s Lake City Collision will have their Ultimate Loaner Car (2011 M3) on hand for you to take for a test drive around the neighborhood.
We’re mixing up the food format this year: We will have BUNS (gourmet natural burgers) and Las Margaritas Mexican Cuisine on site to provide delicious for-pay lunch options.
So bring a few bucks if you’d like to eat.
After lunch, we’ll have the always-popular raffle for some great prizes to win. And much more!

You do not have to be a BMWCCA member to attend. The event is free to attend and there’s no need to RSVP. Just come out, bring your M Car and join the fun. Bimmerpost members without an M Car are of course welcome to attend the event and enjoy the day.

The event typically runs until 2pm.

Raffle items are offered by our generous sponsors: Griot’s Garage, Broad Strokes Associates, Haury’s Lake City Collision & Cohesive Garage

Don’t miss this fun and informative day for M-Cars! If you’d like more info, feel free to PM me

Looking like it's going to be a good one this year again :-)

I'm flying in on 8/16, passing papers on 8/17 on the new house, but my car is being shipped from Boston on 8/13, and won't be there in time. Can I help set up, in compensation for your passenger seat, Nicolas?

That sounds like a great plan! I'll need the help.

bruza · 07-11-2012, 10:01 AM

Caravan Meetup at Southcenter East Parking Lot by BJ's at 9 - 9:15. Then roll out 9:45?

FrenchBoy · 07-12-2012, 12:52 AM

Exciting news about your chances to win some of the awesome raffle items! Like years past, each person that comes to the registration booth in the morning gets a FREE raffle ticket.

However, BMWCCA members will get 2 FREE tickets whereas non-members will only get 1! YEAH!

If you've been on the fence about joining the BMWCCA, this is your chance do it. The yearly membership is only $48 and the perks alone (magazines, discount at many local shops, etc.) are worth it...

You can join the BMWCCA here.

FrenchBoy · 08-05-2012, 04:29 PM

Count down starts! 2 more weeks!

BTW, there will be an M3 Track Taxi ride at Pacific Raceways to win at the raffle. Cool stuff!

Yep, if you are on the fence, I second Nicolas' comments here. Join! Its a great club and only $48 a year (less than a tank full of gas for your M3). The monthly Roundel magazine alone is worth the money, not to mention all the other perks. And if you have never been to the PNW's M-car day you are really missing out. Some awesome cars there....both new and old. If you are a bimmerphile, you will love it. And you might just win something too...I won a nice insulated BMW coffee mug a few years ago...still use it every day in my M. :-)

TTG · 08-10-2012, 11:01 AM

Car is spotless & detailed for any concourse show..... but I am once again out of town. I managed to be out for all the shows this year.....

bruza · 08-10-2012, 11:46 AM

Next weekend it is everyone

I still plan on meeting at Southcenter around 9/9:15 for a quick meet then caravan to Griot's.

Kalize · 08-10-2012, 07:14 PM

is there a pre-meet happening?
you guys have the exact address for Southcenter East Parking Lot by BJ's
