TTT

If you guys want, you can print some of these out and stick them on some cars. That is what i figured i would do.

:clap: Good Idea about the flyers. I will put some on any Bimmer I see out there. Is there any way you can be specific about where we will meet or anywhere close to it, b4 we go for the drive? I mean the ADDRESS & ZIP CODE. HoLLa back.

Not sure yet. but I will keep you posted.

Fellers,

Hey Mike, one of the ppl that are coming lives in cool springs. He drives a white M3. We are going to meet in the sears parking lot, the most vacant and sometimes they have a car show there and then we will eat at P.F. Changs in Cool Springs. We would SO LOVE to see you out there! We have 8 guys FOR SURE that are coming out! Please make your way out there. Call me when it gets closer so we can all get on the same page. Again, we would love to see you man! Also, do u have any type of messenger? (aim, aol, msn, yahoo, etc.)

Sounds good. No. I don't have an IM setup anywhere. Guess I could though for such events. email works well 4 me an does my cell. DO you have a car (motor)yet?

I have a car and i have a motor but the donor car just got here today (when it was supposed to get here last week) so i don't think the M will be ready for this meet. I will have to drive the benz :bawl But are you are FOR SURE? If so, we are going to count you in. If you are, you are 9 FOR SURE's. BTW, what do u drive?

As it sits right now, I'm in.
I drive a stock '98 328iCab-Cosmos (Sport pkg). Not a speed racer, but like spirited driving. Am currently looking for some nice 17" wheels as I'm about to need tires anyway (and I don't want to buy new 16" tires).
Once I get the wheels/ties, then I'll do some suspension upgrades, then a reprogram (Shark Inj.) and that's it.
I have put smoked corners up front an Euro ellipsoids too. Car has tinted windows and is in need of a paint job, mainly up front. Will do that this Spring, I think. It's my daily driver.
BTW, I just saw a white M3 in Franlin, TN. It had "Animal Lover" tags and the guy getting out was wearnig a Kilt. No kiddin'. Looked like he was going to some Church event. Wonder if it was one of the guys meeting...
Are all of the meeters in ///M's?

No, i think two have M3's and then the others are like 328 ic's (silver) and some other 328's. Also some others might show up that aren't bimmers but they are welcome too. the guys that i am bringing down have a 318is and a 318 ic. I have tried to get a hold of a guy with an E46 M3 but i can't reach him. We will just have to see. Should be a nice meet!

Hey,
Did anybody notify 10kken? I know he hangs out in this forum and lives in the greater N-ville area.

I live in Brentwood (near cool springs) but i wont be able to make it to the meet on the 4th, hopefully there will be another

Hey guys,

I'm in Nashvegas, but not sure if I'll be around on Saturday 01/04/03. If you change to Sunday let me know.

Ken

hey ken, stop by if you are. Call my cell phone if you want to catch up with us. We are spending the night.

Nathan,

Thanks for keping me in the loop. Kramer kept me posted on the meet as well. As it stands now, I'l probably not be home 'till Saturday evening, and I'll be around Sunday morning if y'all are still in town. I'm on the west side of Nashville, about 20 niles from Cool Springs. I'll try to catch uo with you guys if I can.

Ken

guys, here is the last update. We are meeting at the Sears parking lot at Cool Springs around 12. Some guys are meeting up at Sad Sams off of I65 at exit 112 i think. We are meeting up there at 11:15 so we can roll in together. If anyone has questions, feel free to call me. I am very excited about this meet. My number, 270-836-5415

Cool! I see y'all there...

(How'd that get on there twice?
???
Damn technology!

lol, i think the server is slow today and you probably hit reply twice.

Hey. Where/what is Sad Sams ("x-112...I think").
Maybe I'll try to meet you guys up there too. Sears is just too close.

Mike

Well, in case Ray (silver323) didn't have you put me on the list, I'm coming in my Black E36 M3 and I'll have my two brothers with me (in my car, prolly). We *might* have some friends in Hondas/Acuras, but I doubt it. I'll see y'all there.

This is gonna b cool. How many comin total? Anybody know?

about 12 cars should be there.

Sad Sam's is a gas station off of I65 South at exit 112. After you get off the interstate you turn left and Sad Sam's will be on the left. If you look off to your right you will see a big pink elephant and a big indian. I suppose if we were to meet at Sad Sam's we should meet there at 11:15 maybe? That way we can make sure we have plenty of time to get there and won't have to worry too much about traffic and what not.


Guys, give me a call tonight or early tomorrow so we are all on the same page.

Nathan
270-836-5415

I'll either be @ Sad Sams @ 11:15 -or- if you don't see me there. I'll be at Sears @ High Noon (Good-Bad-Ugly whistle).
Careful comin down, over or up...

Nashville (OK... Franklin)

Well i wasnt able to go..:( but how did it go guys?!? Did anyone take any pics or made any videos...would be very interested in seeing the Bimmers in the area/

hey man, it is today. come on out! And kramer, i will try and make it but it seems out of my way so if i am not there by 11:25, just leave without me. Hey man, come on out!

guys, it was so nice to actually be able to meet some ppl that i talk to on the boards. I thought we had an awesome meet! We got some good pics too. We had everything from a 911 to M3's to a camaro. So it was all gravy and i look forward to doing this again...........oh yeah guys, you really missed out on a good hockey game

Hey Kramer, it was really nice meeting you man. We need to keep your friends updated about the next meet. And great roads man!

Here is one shot

another.

.

wow i was on the wrong day when i posted that....well i couldnt have gone today either, sounds like it was fun...a 911!!! awesome...nice pics outkast..i will be there next time

. My camera SUCKS. I need a new one

the 911

is that a z06:buttrock

last one from me.

yeah, that guy didn't stay around too long. His license plate read "405hpwr"

hope to see you at the next meet

haha awesome..i like the pic with them all lined up...that must've been a sight to see in person

yeah, we had a guy in a nice 328 pull up and talk to us. he is on the boards but was shopping for the day. And it was REALLY funny when that infinity watched one of the black M3's do a donut and tried to speed off. We had a really good time.

It was a fun day. We'll have to do it again real soon. I Have MS Streets and Maps and can mark off a really good route with lots of great twisties. They're everywhere were we went.
That's the fastest I ever went on the Trace by-the-way. It's a pretty fun road at that speed (not tellin').
Anyway, I have other friends with fun cars. Bikes too.
What we should arrange next is a 2-day trip to go run "The Dragon". Can overnight over there and really have a great time. Would get more Atlanta folks in on that one too. And NC.

Fun time indeed. Thanks for setting it up. Sorry I bailed early. I didn't thing much else was going on...

Mike
'98 328iC-Cosmos. Wheels on order. Suspension next on the list.
..then CAI...then "Chip"...then.........
Nashville

P.S. That Dinan intake sure sounds sweeeeeet! Looks good too.

Hey Kramer, that two day meet sounds like a plan. Maybe in the spring when it is a little warmer i would be so down. Maybe a saturday and sunday! And about the hockey game, we didnt' even know that we were going until we were setting at hooter's and someone said they were selling $10 tickets. But yeah, it would be nice to fill the parking lot and have everyone else look as they go by. Oh yeah, the M will FOR SURE be done by then or i am kicking someones........well, you know

z06

back end

thats an awesome license plate...i think i might've seen that car before somewhere too

It's mostly in his garage...

Hey that was me that pulled up in the 328. I really hate that I missed it and I am sure that you all had a great time. I will try to keep a better watch on the boards so that I don't miss the fun next time. I am in Murfreesboro so if you see me around give me a shout.

hey bear.......love your car man! Where those SSR GT3's?

Bear328, Glad you stopped by. Great car. What are the odds that you'd see us there at that time, etc...

Guys,
I managed to find my rims and ordered rims/tires today! YEAH BABY! I had to contact BBS myself. They had a limited # of polished RK's left. So I had Jim@Tirerack get them, put Yok AVS-ES100's on them and ship'em out. Should be in in a week or so.
Won't see any of those around, I'm sure.
I got 17X8 w/ 235/40-17's. Not too aggressive, but will definitely improve things both cosmetically and performance-wise.
Also, I found out that there are different spring sets for Cabs vs. either the coupe or sedans (those two are the same). I guess the rears are either stiffer (for extra weight of the cab rear end) or a bit taller. Still investigating, but that's my next move.

Oh yeah. I had my traction control on all day Saturday. Damn thing works all too well. OI forgot all about it.

Later,
Mike

I forget who, but I was talking to someone about a front lip spoiler and I mentioned the Reigher one for stock e36 fronts (non M3).
It's called the Reiger DTM Cup Spoiler and it looks pretty sharp on a stock front end. There's a little snippet of a picture on:
http://www.amimotorsports.com/main.htm
Go to body styling, then e36, etc. It's close to the bottom. I 'd like to see one in person, but I think for $200 plastic/$240 CF, it'd dress up the front nicely.
Just thought I'd throw this out there.

Mike

nice kramer, i would love to see those wheels at the next meet! post pics ASAP!!!

For all who enjoyed this meet, you'll definitely have to come check out how we gets down in the A-T-L. We had 25-30 cars in the parking lot... it was a sight to behold. We had passers-by (haha... I haav gud eenglish) gawking as they drove by and even two bicycle cops who stopped to check out everything and talked with us for about 15-20 minutes.

Not to mention, the drive was a 5-hour ordeal packed with plenty of thrills!!

Nashville was fun, no doubt, but y'all would REALLY love an Atlanta-style meet (if it was anything close to the one we had in December)!!

Can't wait for the vid, Ray...

outkastaliens, Thanks for the compliment, and they are SSR but they are the GT1's. Are you from Paducah? My sister lives there. I can't believe that I just happened in to the parking lot right then. It was great to meet some of you guys, and everyone there had great cars.

Ron, i am down for an ATL meet. That is where i got my car! But Bear, i live in murray and go to murray state university but p town is just 45 minutes away and i am always there.

Yeah, man... come on down!! Bring friends!! We're aiming for getting it together in March or April -- it just depends on peoples' schedules with school and whatnot.

By then, you'll have the ///M, instead of that pesky Mercedes... pssshhhh.... ;)

hey man, watch your comments ;) it was better than the damn 89 'stang i am driving. And hey, there were slower drivers than me on the day :) but the spring would be a great time!

Yes there were!!! :mad: That silly Civic Hatch with NO swap that I got stuck behind. :mad:

Then, I got stuck behind the Camaro in the good part of the road!! :mad: :mad:

J/K about the Mercedes, of course. They are awesome cars and I'd definitely drive any of the ones coming out now. Not slow by any means. In fact, I think they look FAR better than what BMW is putting out nowadays, styling-wise; not to mention the AMG line of engines are NOT to be taking lightly.

Hey ! I'm sorry you got stuck behind my slow ass but that camaro can't handle worth a shit, I had to learn the hard way bringing that piece of shit to a bmw meet and trying to keep up.

lol, it will be better soon derek, hopefully :)

:biglaughb It's OK -- Camaros weren't made for those kinds of roads.

You can understand my desire, though, to have that road completely open ahead of me when I attacked it. :dunno

trust me I know exactly how you feel, thats why I apologized. as you can see from my sig, a little to much.
