umm its an M car meet..so feel free to come

my cousin was gonna come with his e63 m6, and few m5s are going

its just no non-M's allowed, which is not a big deal..i dont really see when people are crying about not being "allowed" to go, you see all types of "this car only" meets and then once a great group like turner allows people to use their lot for a meet, and even be giving out free mods in a raffle, people cry about it because its only M cars :rolleyes

Regarding the negative comment as well, we are just providing the venue. We are providing the parking lot, door prizes and that is it. The event was not thought of, organzied, sanctioned, overlooked, approved, dissaproved or authorized by Turner Motorsport. We were asked by the organizer if it could be held here and we said "sure!" I may add, the coolest thing about it is that 95% of our employees elected to come work the event even though it is a Sunday and they are not getting paid for their time. The other 5% had prior obligations.


Looking forward to it...

Hehe. Don't take what I say too seriously.

I just have no incentive whatsoever to make it to a meet that's call an "///M3 meet." Elitism just doesn't pander to me. I know you say in a post that you didn't organize it, so you shouldn't take offense to my comment. I just don't like that attitude, and don't care to show up if the event organizers are going to have that type of attitude.

It's too bad, too....since I was thinking about picking up some sway bars next time I was in your area. Oh well, maybe next time.

I'll be there.....hopefully there will be a good turnout of E36s. It might be a little elitist to be ///M cars only, but its the organizer's prerogative. If you don't like it, then IMHO you should organize a meet of your own that is more inclusive, not whine about it (like a certain someone on the M3forum board did).

Anyway, my sister's graduation celebration is in Newburyport tomorrow, so I'll probably just spend the night there and get up early, detail the car and drive there.

Hehe. Don't take what I say too seriously.

It's an internet forum, I don't take anything I see on one of these too seriously.

I just have no incentive whatsoever to make it to a meet that's call an "///M3 meet." Elitism just doesn't pander to me.

Should I take this seriously? Because it seems like a pretty serious accusation. I don't think "elitism"was the intent at all! Someone put a meet together for a certain model of car, that's all. The organizer likes M3's and wanted to have a M3 gathering, it is really as simple as that.

This is no different than the...
Z3 homecoming in Spartanburg: http://www.z3homecoming.com/

The 6 Series Shark Fest: http://www.bmwsharkfest.org/info.php

8 series gathering in California, M Day in Mass, etc, etc, etc...

Just like these events, it a gathering of car guys that have similar or the same model of car, it is as innocent as that! There is not elitism at all happening here.

I know you say in a post that you didn't organize it, so you shouldn't take offense to my comment.

Good, because I never did. If you scroll up, I just made a funny remark in return to someone telling Turner to go screw. No offense taken but I appreciate your concern.

I just don't like that attitude, and don't care to show up if the event organizers are going to have that type of attitude.

Where and when was this attitude you speak of? I personally have yet to see it. Maybe I missed something in another thread?

It's too bad, too....since I was thinking about picking up some sway bars next time I was in your area. Oh well, maybe next time.

Not too bad at all! I'll be happy to ship them to you for free. Just call me Monday. 800 280-6966 x 1. Problem solved.

Guys, we have 70 parking spots, tops. If we were to have a show like Bav Auto's show and shine for example, the cops would shut us down for having a line of cars out in the public roads, it just wouldn't work, this is why a model-specific meet makes sense for us to host, it is the only way it could work.

Looking forward to tomorrow!

I'm a Turner fan every time I see any of the Turner employees at a show or event they are always really outgoing and nice and willing to answer questions even if your not purchasing something from them. I don't have an M3 but I'm gonna try to make it to the show anyway. :buttrock

Hey, as I said, if you didn't organize the meet, and decide that it's an M3 meet, then you have nothing to worry about. The fact that it's not your meet, yet you decide to host it anyways, makes you much better people than the people who organized it.

I just absolutely hate exclusion in meets. I like meets to be set up for the entire community, not just a part of it.

Im sure the non m cars can still show up just not be in the show. Just park maybe in a corner or something? I guarantee there will be other non m cars and probably non bmw cars. My friend may go in his e30 325 just to go to the event and see the cars, im sure thats not a problem.

Yes, the LT5's would be fore the E36. I'm starting to think 17 > 18 for E36's ... I feel like my 18's look too big.

I ended up getting banned from M3 forum because of this meet. Even though I have an M3 many of my friends who I attend meets with do not own M3s.
Many people at last weeks Colt State Park meet were very disappointed that they would not be allowed to join the meet like so many other members of these BMW based forums. Unfortuneately they are not happy with the organizer or BMW tuner / shop for allowing them to be discriminated against based on the fact they can't afford an M3. Makes me ashamed to own an M3.

Wow and here you go again, simply finding a new home to spew your spiel. Jesus just let it rest. You got banned because of your actions; the meet had asbolutely nothing to do with it. To place blame on something that hasn't even taken place yet is simply preposterous. If you are so ashamed to own an M3 go back to your widebody automatic 3 series.

i understand how you would want to say NON M's can not attend BUT... i think there should be an exception if thats how your gunna do it. My car is Built NOT bought. which means i've got more money into it then most of you when you opend your wallett to buy you your M. just cuz my vin does not start with wbsb dosnt mean i dont have a nicer car than some of you M owners.

i dont want to make enemys.. but idk, i feel descrimiated.. haha. anyways i wont be able to make the meet, my e36 is in paint. so :la
u can just hand me the trophies when i arive at all of thoes "NON M" meets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me just say first that I am looking forward to tomorrow. I hadn't known of this thread until today, had no idea of the TMS boycott being organized, any of the grief Elie was going through or any of the hard feelings some of our customers were feeling. The same thing came up in Bimmerforums so my same reply applies...

TMS is just providing the venue. We are providing the parking lot, TMS staff, door prizes and that is it. The event was not thought of, organzied, sanctioned, overlooked, approved, dissaproved or authorized by Turner Motorsport. We were asked by the organizer if it could be held here and we said "sure!" I may add, the coolest thing about it is that 95% of our employees elected to come work the event even though it is a Sunday and they are not getting paid for their time. The other 5% had prior obligations.

Let me put this into perspecitve... Elie put a meet together for a certain model of car, that's all. Elie has and likes M3's and wanted to have a M3 gathering, it is really as simple as that.

This is no different than the...
Z3 homecoming in Spartanburg: http://www.z3homecoming.com/

The 6 Series Shark Fest: http://www.bmwsharkfest.org/info.php

8 series gathering in California, M Day in Chelmsford, etc, etc, etc...

Just like these events, it a gathering of car guys that have similar or the same model of car, it is as innocent as that! There is not elitism at all happening here.

If we offended anyone by hosting this event it was completely unintentional and unexpected. We were planning to have similar events in the future for other BMW models and this was a perfect way for us to test the waters since we didn't have to be completely involved in the organization part of it. After what we have seen here however, we may be forced to reconsider.

Sincerely,
