Interest in an e9x m3 only drive this year?

mashimarho · 03-08-2022, 08:47 PM

Count me in.
Why don't we do a Chuckanut Drive? We used to do that a few years back when we had like 15 E9X M3s cruise.

Always a good one, especially if we can avoid high traffic times.

I'd also suggest Ben Howard and a few around Flowing Lake.

Would folks be interested in an e9x m3 only drive this year?

Something where we drive, book a hotel for the evening with some drinks, and then head back the following morning.

Would love to do something like this, but am curious if there is sufficient interest in such a thing from others.

I'm down I recently went all the way down to SF for a cruise/meet

66° in Snohomish County, couldn't pass up such a beautiful day.

I need some company, when are we going to put something on the calendar?

drwankel · 03-22-2022, 11:43 PM

It was indeed a nice day today.

I'm in the middle of getting some wheel shenanigans sorted out, and need to get that solved before a drive. Honestly, if I can't it sorted out in the next month, I'm just going to go put tires back on my stock zcp wheels and enjoy the car for the rest of the year.

In the interim- I'd be down for a meetup. We can discuss ideas for the drive.

drwankel · 04-06-2022, 11:24 PM

Any suggestions for a place to have a meet? Maybe XXX burger in Issaquah? Weather is starting to improve.

Would like to discuss drive ideas with folks.

Totally down. Like some of the others, I travel frequently but enough notice and I'm there. XXX is a good meetup. What about May 7/8? Weather should be opening up by then and it's a good months notice.

I like it! I'll get a thread going.

SnohoRaptor · 04-24-2022, 11:20 AM

Yesterday we made a run up to Diablo Lake. We got lucky with nearly no traffic up AND back. Guess they were all busy visiting the tulip festival.
I would suggest setting an alarm to beat the hikers and sight seers.

drwankel · 04-24-2022, 01:35 PM

Got the car all cleaned up and went for a shakedown run to Portland on Friday.

About midway hit some unexpected rain. I maintained a speed of around 90mph hoping to blast the rain off the car so it doesn't dirty it up. Hood looked clean when the sun came back out, so I thought I was successful.

Pulled over to stretch my legs and then got a look at the front. I completely failed. Damn you Jarez Black!

Hahaha still manages to look great though!

How would folks feel about something mid week? Example, leave on a Tuesday, return Wednesday.

Traffic will be better, and hotel availability is way easier to find as well as cheaper. Starting to notice alot of the weekend spots are already booked up for the summer.

spammysammich · 06-10-2022, 01:14 PM

I'd have to be penciled in for mid week, I'm usually on the road for work tues-fri

Hey all- would really like to see something like this setup. I just honestly don't have the bandwidth to organize this at the moment.

Would be nice to get something rolling before the summer is out if anybody is interested in taking the reins on this.

I'll be game circa next week after picking up my E90!
