XTREMETUNING 04-16-2009, 02:31 PM Hey guys,
I just got an email that my TT was selected to be a part of the 2009 Greenwhich Concours d'Elegance in Greenwhich, CT. Its amazing that an 8-series BMW will be at home in the field with $100k - $1M vehicles.
Here were my submission pics:

Neat! That's only a little bit of a drive for me so it's tempting to check it out.
rcrad6653 04-16-2009, 08:35 PM Question JR... you ever caught any grief from the man in NJ about the front license plate delete?
Also, if you want to borrow a warning triangle and polishing cloth for a complete rear toolkit let me know. Can't have you losing style points...... 8^)
GimmieSumMo72 04-16-2009, 08:37 PM congrats!
smokum 04-16-2009, 11:34 PM Ill be there in spirit Just to be there is a big enough deal
carspainc.com 04-16-2009, 11:40 PM was wondering... where are the MAF's?
Mr 4500 RPM 04-16-2009, 11:55 PM Whats the date, I might actually make it to this one . . .
It is sad that I am from G-wich yet have not been . . . :(

Or get Wuffer to get a triangle for you - about $30-40.

Ahmed303 04-17-2009, 10:42 AM JRW,
You need a read Tow hook cover plate piece. The car looks gorgeous though. I always loved the Glacier Blue.

I have the Euro triangle which fits in the toolbox that DOTs won't, it's why they're not there.... if Wuff's gottem great.
XTREMETUNING 04-17-2009, 03:27 PM koenig d- I always take pics where ever I go... I'll be sure to post them up!
Hobz- I have heard that this is an amazing show. The American cars are on Sat and Euro/exotics are on Sun.
rcrad6653- I don't drive it much honestly. I keep the plate in the front windsheild in case, but I have never been pulled over. Of course I had to put it on to pass inspection. It was just secured by 1 screw! The DD 8 has the front plate on it.
carspainc.com- The mafs are under the headlights. Ill take some more pics of the entire setup this weekend and post them up for all to see.
Mr 4500 RPM- June 5-7, 2009. There is an auction that sells $$$$ cars on Fri, American cars on Sat, and Euro/exotics on Sun. What a fun weekend of cars and boats... there is a yacht show going on at the same time!
cantbl8- The tool kit is complete including triangle, but it doesnt have that little cloth... was that stock from the factory?
Ahmed303- I already have it, but it needs to be painted... its on the to-do list. I have a brand new computer display to be installed too. Im tempted to uninstall the custom stereo as well.
I have the complete front and rear euro Csi brake setup that still needs to be installed. I almost have everything I need to do euro lights... headlights, ftps, and rear fogs.
If I do rip out the custom stereo, Ill install a ///M business cd player with trunk cd changer delete panels. That should be just about everything!! :buttrock

rcrad6653 04-17-2009, 04:50 PM The cloth was indeed original equipment. There was only one retailer I found that managed to get five of them from Germany (Maximillian), as they have been discontinued for some time.
He wanted $113.00 ea. uuuhh.... no. Patient scrounging from Europe has gotten 2 new ones with extra Heyco tools to boot (no pun intended)

8eights 04-17-2009, 05:02 PM Maybe one of the fortunate individuals can loan JR a cloth for the weekend? :D
1chiban 04-17-2009, 05:10 PM I still have my cloth :), have never used it!

8eights 04-17-2009, 05:24 PM That's the spirit, I had no idea, Will read fully next time.
Koizumi 04-17-2009, 07:01 PM Beautiful TT!
