Sunday June 4th. www.stleuropeanautoshow.com

Those of you that havent participated in the past, PLEASE make an effort to enter your car for $20.00 ($25.00 day of show). We need a better showing this year. Don't let the Mini Club beat us in participants!!!!

You do NOT have to be a BMWCCA member to participate in the auto show.

Register early because it will be limited to 150 cars.

We need more 5 series and 7 series owners!! E28 M5, E34 M5 and E39 M5 owners need to attend. E24 6 series!! 318, 328, 323, 325, it doesnt matter.

M Coupes or M Roadsters, bring ur ass.

Ill be there.

Oh, I'm there. I'll bring a cooler with a fat sandwich and a lawn chair this year.

If my car is ready by then I'll definitly be there.

I'm bringing the M Coupe and the M3 Vert.

I just installed a carbon engine cover and a Dinan strut bar on the M3. I'm hoping to have the M50 intake manifold that's sitting in my office on soon too. I just made an offer on some wheels too. Soon I should get an exhaust system too. With an luck it should be a nice whip by the show.

The Coupe doesn't need any accessories to make it special.

edit: I sure use the word "too" a lot, too.

You know it.

Im bringing a cooler too. Walking all the way to that Schnuck's sucked major ass.

this year should be awesome..

we need to recruit more... the only cars that show up in the show are E36 and E46 M3s, 1 2002, 1 e30 m3 and then 1 or 2 e46 3 series.

no m5s, no m6s, no 7 series, no 840s or 850s.. we need them and z4s, z3s, m coupes and roadsters.. hopefully it isnt hot hot again.

definately bringing lawn chairs and more beer and water.

...Schnuck's sucked major ass.

I like just this part.

How did you get kicked out of m3forums? That place blows anyways. Bunch of 16 year olds asking the same question over and over. At least here you can go to the M3 section and get useful knowledge.

very true, but I did make a new thread over there for you Brent.

Calypso, I loved the pics of your ride you posted over on stlbmwcca.org!

Thanks a lot, I also posted them here! I guess I'm an attention whore. :shifty
The photographer said he didn't mind me posting them around to gain attention for his new site, www.nebphoto.com

I really wish we could get more cars - M5's, M6's (especially the new E60 M5/E63 M6), etc. I think part of the problem, though, is that these owners just don't know about the show (they probably aren't on bimmerforums everyday). I think that is why the VW club always kills us in attendance - they have a more internet savvy group. I'm not bashing the BMW crowd at all, I just wish that we could get more meets and members to show with different types of BMW's.

I've got a friend that has a new 545 and a new 645 vert. I'll see if he's interested.

My friend has a E60 530, but I think he's bringing his E90.

I saw a E60 M5 in my subdivision a coupe of times, but I don't know where the owner lives :help or how to approach him. He had a imola E39 M5 previously.

ok guys.....


print out the .PDF form and if you see an M5 or M6 or whatever, place the .pdf registration form on their WINDOW!!!!!

you can download the form at the website in the first post.



thanks for posting that thread on M3 forums...

and if that M3 turbo decides not to enter his car? im breakin someones skull.

so do tell the point of entering a car, somethings on my car need some work and I surely dont want to be embarresed.

There is no point to entering if you dont want to. Its just kinda gay if a bunch of people park in the lot and just walk over when the rest of us dropped money to enter. I guess none of us to could enter and we could all just chill in the lot.


Oh, we should do something new to further distinguish ourselves as the biggest hoosiers. Instead of just walking around with open containers, we should do edwards 40 hands.

And Ill bring my camera so i dont have to chace chicks with my phone.

we should do edwards 40 hands.

Best car show related idea ever!!! :lol Brilliant idea Tim.


And Ill bring my camera so i dont have to chace chicks with my phone.
Sounds like we need to dust off the old brick.

So at the show , are there vendors and such , and if we enter is it just people chilling looking at your car.... I might enter for kicks.

Not a big fan of paying to let people walk around and touch my car.


Did I hear beer?

There are no vendors there that I remember. Its basically just a bunch of car people, rich ones at that.

I wouldnt worry about people touching on your car cause their are a bunch exotics and vintage cars as well so an E36 isnt gonna garner a lot of attention.

Beer? There is always beer if Brent, John, and I are there. Hells yeah.


Oh, anybody wanna grab a tasty brew this weekend? Ill be home friday night or sat until tues, but I have a job interview on monday and am getting my prospective house inspected on tuesday.

John, Ill be swinging through Columbia on the way to my mom's so you wanna grab something to eat or shoot some pics?

Damn , I wish I was 21 this show will definetly be better If there was booze, well time to take the car out and enjoy a nice night drive arounf Kirksville.

Haha, have fun with that. I brought my car up, its parked in my driveway off of Davis Street.

wish i could go but I'll have my engine out by then. Have fun guys

Not a big fan of paying to let people walk around and touch my car.

no one will touch your car. i'll make sure of it.:devillook

do the damn show. pay the twenty and enter the car.


there will be plenty of beer and water.:devillook


the brick has been retired. thinking about ebaying it or just use it as a paper weight.

I'm down for drinking Saturday night. not too much because im going to the game sunday.

Tim, you'll be in town this weekend? Hmmm I've got Thursday-Sunday off. Might be doing a drinkign marathon for the entire easter break. I have no morals. Whether ill be doing it here in U City, in midtown, or out of the city is still a question. Maybe we could meet up for a beer or two at Lacledes at SLU.

I'll be home this weekend from friday to monday, so I'd be happy to meet up with anyone for some brews or pics.

u got my number... hit me up for saturday night's main event.:cool

u got my number... hit me up for saturday night's main event.:cool

Maybe we should have a little get together on saturday (sunday is easter). I'm so sick of it being cold, and I think a nice spring cruise would be great.

Man, I wish I wasn't going to be at Putnam Park this weekend. It would be great to get together for a drive and some brews.

-bj

Hey if that drive happens shoot me a PM I havent been on a drive in forever.

I cant do anything during the day cause Im doing stuff with my mom. Ill be free in the evening. I could go on a drive on Monday. I have a job interview at 1230, but will be free after that.

i have class till 2pm on saturday... i dunno about going on a drive. definately down for drinkin saturday night.

let me know for sure if we are doing something or not cause the gf is bothering my about going out saturday.

I do. But I'm out of town this weekend. My wife can probably find it, though.

-bj

BTW: I have an update for you on the little event we are planning.

bj, that would be awesome... i can wait for the tool when you get back.


btw, we are meeting tonight saturday 15th at growlers pub on Olive blvd and Ballas Rd. 8:30pm. going to have a few drinks there, then more than likely go somewhere else.

edit****** we are not meeting at the one in south county.


EDIT AGAIN!!!!!!!! !#!@#$ we are NOT going to any Growlers. We are going to Fox and Hound in Chesterfield Valley... 8:30pm

40 west to boones crossing exit, make left.... go across the highway, then make a right and drive towards the damn movie theatre.. you cant miss it. it's right in front of the theatre..

Sorry, I just got your Private message. I ended up going out of town. Maybe next time.

it was a good time!!!

it was a good time!!!

Yeah, it was fun grabbing a brew with you guys. Sorry I had to leave a little early, but thanks to you and Tim for meeting me at a spot a little closer for me.

So whos intake boot ripped while leaving town , mine did. Man this whole 14 yar old car thing is getting to me , this summer has ssome serious matienece lined up.

Sorry I missed it all, but Putnam Park rocked! Next time I'll buy the first round.

bump

Might come if my emission test ever gets here so I can finally start going to town on the car.

So I like the idea but my car is as stock as they come and aint tricked out (i spent all the money I had on the damn car!! :-))) can we still enter or does my car have to be a pimp daddy to make it in there?

Guys, we could use as many bimmers as possible. Even if they are bone stock, it still looks good. Last year, VW outnumbered us by a substantial amount. :mad Plus the money goes to a good cause, and it's a fun event.

you guys have no idea how much FUN this event is...... :devillook

hopefully there are 2 spots left , since my dad ( MINI S) will be there and so will I .

Probably I still havent turned in the form.

I may enter, I am still debating.

My car is not up to it in my mind, even though it would be the only one like it there.

you goons better enter your cars... it'll be f'in bs if you guys dont show the hell up.:mad

you goons better enter your cars... it'll be f'in bs if you guys dont show the hell up.:mad

well my dad is handling the forms so it will get done, now this means i have to get a clay, bar , and fix up some shit int the el carro.

bump. this isn't too far off, and we need as many people as possible.

Count me in with the estoril.

Andy

we're only 3 weeks out.. i wonder if they are going to give us food and drink tickets like they did the few years before last... last year they told us when we entered that we would get food/drink coupons, but when we looked in the bag of goodies, there werent any.

ah well, it doesnt matter... i'll bring a sandwich or something from subway and have a cooler of 'stuff'

Looks like I won't be abel to make it. Sorry guys, float trip already planned.

So whats a final list of people going?

It all dependes for me. I have been offered my dads 528, so I am in a bit of a quandry. If I still have the 325 I will show it. The 5er is just not ready for shows yet.

Jay8s

I probably wont be going unless my car gets fixed. Something broke in the fuel system and all the gas has leaked out. So if anyone can help fix it, give me a holla.

my hood and door wont be fixed...it looks horrible but im going anyway


you guys are punks.

yeah my headliner and pillars are fuckin ghetto but i did just wax and polish and clay so paint looks good. and im rockin bottlecaps. So is there anywhere we are gonna meet before the show?

i'll give u a heads up the day before.. more than likely we are going to meet like we do every year behind the Hilton.. (right off n.lindbergh down the street from Frontenac Plaza.

What happened to your car Brent?

I thinked I fixed mine. The line coming off the fuel pump was loose. I may show up, but definitely dont feel like giving them 20 bones or whatever. Ive spent like 3 grand buying shit for my house in the last two weeks and need to stop frivolous spending for a while.

Ill probably just ride over with John, grab a case of brew and chillax for a bit.

fuckin shit , one of my coolant hoses blew while I was on hanley FUCK. I need a coolant system overhaul , but im still showing up hopefully.

Shit, all the cars are going down.

Let me know if you need a hand, I have replaced my radiator and all that stuff. Good time. PM for my cell.

I will be there unless I get screwed by work.

Nothing's wrong with my car. yet. :devillook

Shit, all the cars are going down.
Yup, my timing chain took out my oil pump. Looks like confetti in my oil pan.

The first wave of actual summer heat is fucking everybody up.

looking forward to seeing everyone! too bad my car wont look good at all.:(

Sunday, June 4, 2006, Plaza Frontenac comes alive as nearly 10,000 come out to enjoy nearly 250 of the finest exotic and classic automobiles at the 19th Annual St. Louis European Auto Show.

Admission is free to the public, but public donations to the Shriners are always appreciated. Food and refreshments are available from the Maplewood Lions Club and other Plaza Frontenac eateries. Please join in supporting this great cause on Sunday, June 4 at Plaza Frontenac (South Parking area, directly outside Saks Fifth Avenue), 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Rain date Sunday, June 11).

The BMW showing wasn't too bad. Surprisingly and disappointingly, there wasn't an E30 M3 or a Z8, but there were some nice cars. There was an awesome M6 that took the award for best BMW.

-bj

Pretty fun , weather was spotty but good. We should have had more BMW's kinda sad guys.

Sorry guys. I was planning on going but then decided to go on this business trip for my then job. Late on Sat after discussing the job with my mom, girlfriend and her family I decided to quit. I would have tried to make it, but I wanted to spend time with her because she will be at school all summer.

Oh, so now that Im unemployed again, I free whenever.

You really quit?!? We should grab a retirement brew then! But seriously, I'm sure you'll find a better job that you are are more excited about. Even more seriously, we should grab a brew.

looks like you guys had fun, whoes all going to the festivus?

Yeah the more I thought about it the more I realized how much it sucked and how much I didnt like it. I would probably spend most of my money on gas and repairs for my car. Shoot me up if you want to grab a brew whenever.

Oh, and Im not selling my flows, so lay off. :buttrock

Awesome turn out yesterday guys.... f'ing kick ass..

we had almost 30 cars? :buttrock :buttrock :buttrock


F yeah!


the enzo was a no-show.. go figure.. however, the F430 and Carrera GT made up for it.:buttrock

I understand about the job. I'm sure you'll find something better.

It was worth a try for the flows, but I'll be getting something within the next couple weeks. I'm tired of driving around in stealth mode.

Did you come back home or are you still in columbia/branson?

Yeah Im back at home. I spent yesterday and today cleaning up my house. Soon as I eat and take a shower, Im gonna go on the stltoday site and look for some jobs.

If you arent working, we can do something. Maybe the Fox and the Hound later?

Oh, I really hope my gf becomes a really successful doctor. I think I could handle the stay at home dad thing perfectly.
