Just wondering if there was going to be a group from Seattle that was going to head down to Santa Barbara for BFest 07. I will be in the show this year with my 78 320i and will be going down with maybe a 535i and 325 AA turbo let me know if you are planning on attending it is worth the drive.

if anyone's got an extra seat i'd love to ride along. i don't want to put the miles on my car. i'll handle the videoing!

I was just thinking about this the other day. When is it going to be, April? I may be in this year.

I'm in for sure this year!

It's Cinco De Mayo this year.

Anyone complaining about "not putting the miles on" just doesn't get the concept of Bimmerfest and what it's all about.

well you're probly right i've never been there. so i'll check it out, then i'll be convinced it's worth it and will drive myself next year.

I dont know if Ill have room but maybe one of my friends might. I was thinking about going in 05 but decided not too, when I saw the pics of the show I was soo mad at myself I went last year in my friends 535i but this year I completed building my car to where I almost want it and will put it in the show. This event is well worth it the entire freeway down there is all bimmers on every off ramp trying to get to the show. It is by far the best car show Ive been to.

Your car will hate you if you dont take it. So what about mileage you only live once so go.:buttrock

we'll see. i'm too easily convinced. i'll probly end up driving, even though as of now i don't want to.

A group of us in the seattle area are somewhat already starting to plan the drive down.

there will also be a group from Tacoma/Portland mostly e30's but any one is welcome to join. Im sure more organization will be happining when it gets closer. Also we all need to reserve motels NOW, because they will all be full by the time Bfest comes around.

I'm probably going to be there, but i'll be staying in Hollywood and driving to the event from there.

well sounds like a fairly large group are going from the PNW so maybe i'll go to haha

I'll make sure to make time for it! So count me in!

Count me in.

Everyone from the Washington Seattle area should meet up with the Tacoma guys on the way down and then pick up more people when we get to the Portland area hopefully this can actually happen because if it does that would be a hella sick caravan down. In reality it will probably be like 15 cars together with some lonesome people that might jump in here or there. Last year I caught up with a 2002 and a e30 m3 doin about 115 through a curvy part of the road down to Santa Barbara I left bf the guys from WA last year got pulled over for doing well over 120 E36 crew crossing into Oregon. Was that anybody here?

well if i go, i'll be rolling with the crow that drives responsibly. spirited driving is fine but none of this well over 120 stuff. keep racing on the track. anyone from around here gonna take it easy?

I am probably going to be going... where is everyone staying we should see if we can get a "group buy" some where

if i dont end up sellin my car by then ...

I could meet up with people anywhere south of Shoreline Washington on I-5 I live in Edmonds.

I was in the caravan doing 120, I slowed down into the town where they all got popped and thus avoided any tickets, and I beat them to the rally point. And they said my little e30 couldnt keep up. :redspot

Dude Tom I need the ECU and shifter linkage soon pleaasseeee!!!!!!! Lets get in the same caravan your e30 will have my m52 in it then and mine will have your m20 Im trying to get a 284 cam in before the show too.

Why do 120...when you can do 144?

I'm going to have to 1-Up Ali one way or the other!

Damn thats a long drive. I'll have to think about this one. I don't think I could get off work long enough to drive.

hey wat sup man, how is the project? I just picked up my car from the body shop, but didn`t really puch it since my tires have zero threads. post some pics of your car I wanne see it>

p.s. do u still have that m52 engine?

m52 engine now belongs to mrel. Everyone who is even thinking about going to bimmerfest should put everything aside and go its seriously amazing. I dont know about the other groups but the E21 group meets up after the show and goes on there on cruise I cant wait.

Seattle caravans usually meet up with Portlands caravans, then we all drive together and get massive amounts of tickets.

whats the date ? i mustve read over it or something....

david

we need to plan this ahead i want to go and i can get the hook up on hotel rooms down there

Ya, Im also trying to organize all the e30 guys on r3v so we can all book hotel rooms together. Im gonna be 21 this time aswell!

I'm already planning on going... I got my hotel @ Motel 6

3505 State St
Santa Barbara, CA 93105

My rough plans are to leave Wednesday after work between 4-6ish. Drive a good 5-7 hours into Oregon somewhere. And pretty much attempt to finish up Thursday and have all Friday to dick around and what not.
