I would like to try and liven up the Northwest regional forum. I know there is a ton of people that own BMW's in the northwest and a ton that browse bimmerforums.com.

So step up to the plate and lets here a shout out. Calling all NW BMW owners, lets here what model you drive, mod lists, plans etc.

lets make our NW forum rock!! :redspot

Dtm is the way to go for NW forums. Bimmerforums just deleted my for sale thread, for no clear reason.

I drive a e34 525i and a e36 325i.

DTM pnw is weak. They set up good meets and drives, but they also have those people that bring the forum down. I'm up for living bfc nw up though.

97 M3/2

Pretty much a dedicated track car although I do drive it on the street some.

GC race suspension, Diffsonline 3.64LSD, UUC ltw flywheel, tranny mounts and exhaust, JC Sharked and CAI, Zionsville aluminum radiator, TC Design cage, and some other stuff.

Not many folks in southern OR. And, I always work Saturdays. But, if there was an event up north, I might trailer up. I'm always willing to get together if anyone ever comes south.

What forum did you post it in? And, did you cross post in multiple forums? That might be a clue.

Pretty much stock for the time being except for the garbage intake from the last owner. I'm going to replace it with either dinan or ecis. Reworking the suspension right now so she'll be track ready towards the end of this summer or next spring.

I've pretty much just lurk here and other dtm forums.

Im a little late, But Im down to setup on a BFC PNW meet. I hold r3vlimited meets for the PNW all the time. Hell some of you guys came to one of our meets, where we ate at hooters and drive out to the beach. I had a lame silver e30 then, now i got my 323i which I slid into a tree in the rain.

Currently Swapping drivetrain/suspension/interior into a burgenrot 84 318i. HEHEHE :mad

I'm always in OT, but I check this forum everyday.

1996 M3; only mods are the clears and eibach springs, i honestly couldn't tell you which springs they are since i didn't install them and only found out they were eibach when I got it up on a lift. But they are black, my car is low and they ride kinda harsh.

I don't plan on doing any mods to it, i'll probably get new seats/reupolster them since they are crazy sticky when its hot out.

I've been looking at some other options right now, i just sold the A6, so right now i'm debating between a 996 C2 Aero or an E39 M5, power vs handling. In a couple years one of those could possibly turn into 996 Turbo.

Sorry i don't go on many of the drives, during the summers i'm living on Bainbridge and a lot of the time they end up being on the same day as FCA events, and no offence guys but Ferraris take priority over BMWs ;)

edit: Oh yeah, and i go to Seattle U, i know there are some nice BMWs that go to school with me.

I have the following scheduled in Q4

Sears Point, TrackMasters Racing, 11/13
Laguna Seca, TMR, 12/1

There's an UnlimitedLaps day @ T-hill 10/31, that I might consider. But, I may be out of tires. I'm trying to avoid buying a new set before next season. I'll know more after my next 2-day deal.

I also have these days scheduled

7/29, TMR, T-hill
7/30, NCRC, T-hill
8/19, UL, T-hill
9/23, TMR, T-hill

Keep me posted. If you don't want to make the drive in one day, you can spend the night here. Or, I'll just catch you on the way by.
