Sounds good. Hopefully it's not snowing by then.

Glenn: I need to know about the tires since I am going to Spokane next month and will need to take another set of tires with me. Are they available?
Price? Kind?

jackolo · 09-09-2009, 08:08 PM

So... when's everyone throwing on their winters? lol
I think I'll be throwing mine on about mid October just in case... I remember 15-20 years ago there always being at least a foot of snow on the ground by Halloween.

Again, if anyone's available:
Saturday September 12th 1PM Starbucks 23rd Ave & Rabbit Hill Road.
There will be some local non "M" BMW enthusiast there as well from the local site.

AMJ_77 · 09-15-2009, 06:29 PM

Haha, I am a little late to this conversation. I totally would have gone, didn't work last saturday

AMJ_77 · 09-15-2009, 06:58 PM

Hey gents,

I am thinking that I am going to park the M for the winter (I know

). Is anyone interested in my winter rims? I have the BMW M approved package that was a whopping $4400 new

. I used them for one season (6000 km) and they are in mint condition. There is a little rash on one of them, no idea how I got it. The wheels are 8.5 all the way around so you can rotate them and get really good life out of them

Just wanted to see if anyone is interested, let me know guys!

charcoalwan · 09-24-2009, 09:55 PM

i keep trying to make time to come out and meet u guys but plans changes and car changes this is what ive got now instead of the M3

AMJ_77 · 09-25-2009, 01:53 AM

Haha, dude! Big change! Beautiful machine no doubt. Congratulations! Bring that bad boy to a meet

sparkyg · 09-25-2009, 03:40 PM

Wtf??? Holy Shizzle Batman, way to step up a winter beater

Well done

Things cant be all that bad here in Etown economy wise, wow

Need a custom license, POLRBEAR

charcoalwan · 09-27-2009, 05:53 AM

lol polrbear ,polrbeer could be better tho hahah
but i have to say i worked too much 12hrs+ a day and being out of town ,, really have no time to spend money

frenchM3dreamer · 10-05-2009, 12:14 PM

Hi All,
my user name tells you everything, i dont drive a M3 (yet...)
i'm just wondering if anyone here is driving a red M3 coupe, the one that effortlessly smoked me a few weeks ago on 124th... (for my defence, i didnt see it was an M3 until he passed me... my 280hp convertible was obviously no match for it...)
the M3 has been my dream car for 15 years now, i hope to be able to afford one soon...
anyhow, it's always a pleasure to hear the V8 screaming around town, keep it up guys!

Pat

jackolo · 10-05-2009, 12:52 PM

Welcome to the Forum. This is my first M and it's certainly been a pleasure. As far as I know, none of the regulars here have a Melbourne Red M3 but I have seen one or two around town. I absolutely love that color and especially in a sedan format. Anyways, good luck on your quest for an M.

frenchM3dreamer · 10-05-2009, 02:01 PM

Thanks Jackolo!
my quest for an M3 Cab (only way to go for me) will end as soon as my salary goes up in the 6-digit department!!!

i'm working on that...
You're right, Red looks pretty good... White interior on Blue (not sure which one yet) would be my choice right now...
i was really surprised how easily this guy passed me on such a short distance... my car is "fairly" fast for its class, but the M3 is definitely in another wolrd! cant wait to get my butt in one of them!!

Pat

jackolo · 10-08-2009, 11:56 AM

Just letting you guys know... the M3 with the stock tires are still manageable in today's weather... left turns just took a little longer though. *ahem*

charcoalwan · 10-23-2009, 05:13 AM

ScotyH · 10-23-2009, 07:37 AM

Supposed to be nice on Sunday......

2thdr · 10-24-2009, 01:24 PM

Could probably make Sunday.

AMJ_77 · 11-12-2009, 02:13 PM

Howdy ya'll. I am dying since I parked my M for the winter!

Anyone else doing the same?

ScotyH · 11-12-2009, 02:21 PM

Albert, you parked it waaaayyy too soon!

You can live vicariously through me if you wish. I see another solid week or two of driving before I need to park.
