I am having Matt do a LTW FW and clutch on my 540i/6. My wife got stuck in the snow in February. She brought all 310 HP/350 ft.lb. to bear on that snow drift. As she was spinning away, full throttle, she did call me via cell phone to inquire why a car with so much power could get stuck. She also wondered if I might know what that "funny burning smell" could be.:confused:

Oh well, now I get a new(LTW!!) clutch and flywheel. :boink ;) :12:

Hey guys, does anyone know of a good place to paint my car. Preferably down in Rochester, Winona, LaCrosse or something. The car is by LaCrosse now. I don't want to take it too far away to get painted, since I'm not there. I'm probably going back to SoCal in a few years but would like to get it done now, since it's sitting anyway.
I'll be back in the states next summer, I'll try to hook up for a cruise or something up in the Cities.
Later

Rochester is going to be your best bet. Most of us are in the cities so couldn't give you any suggestions as to places down there. You might try and give Park Place BMW in Rochester and see what they recommend.

So guys what do you all think to the idea of a meet on the 11, 12th of July?

Yes on the meet. I'm showing up on Friday unless someone has a conflict but no one has really spoken up at all. 7:00 somewhere near midway. The ex-"Kmart" parking lot has worked well in the past off university. Whomever else meets me there will be cool...

I'm in and I have 2 new recruits to bring with. For those of you that were there for the first meet back in April, remember the two yellow S4's that came with me???? Well one of those guys, coughERICJOHNSONcough, sold his S4 and just took delivery of a 2003 LSB M3 that he ordered in May.
I was also able to turn another one of my buddies over to the dark side:evil2 . My buddy John just picked up a 96 Dakar M3 in Chicago last weekend.

I think we could have a great turnout if we can just nail down an exact date so people can plan for it. The sooner the better!

Hey Know!!!! Just let me break my baby in and , I`m in ! Can`t wait !!!!!!! The dark side is bright!!!!!

Change your sig, fruitcake!

hehe...as much as I liked those two S4's, I'd have to say that the M3 is a better choice. Welcome Eric.

Date and Time: Friday July 11th 7pm at the closed down Kmart parking lot off University(I think there's still a Mervyn's store there and a bunch of other chain mall stores). Intersecting street is Albert. I know that Paul(///Mevil) mentioned dinner at the German restaurant, what's everyone's take on this? I'd be willing...

I'll try and make this one. :redspot

Count me in .

:az:

whats its going to be July 11th or 12th?

Jason I think wants it the 11th so Friday night is I think the date we are gonna shoot for now.

Anyone one know someone that drives a white e46 lowered with white/red lights with white bulbs that has a e46fanatics.com sticker and that is also a motorcycle fan? Saw him today at the Harley dealership when I was leaving and he waived at me so i gave a friendly wave back, just curious if anyone knows him.

I'm going to try and make the meet. Can anyone give me a rough idea of where on University you are talking about? East / West of Snelling?

Nevermind I found out who owns the 330, its Tim Jones the guy that owns e46fanatics.com. Pretty cool I must say, I sent him an email to see if he would want to come to the meet on July 11th.

wow owner of the site in MN huh?...wish I lived there...;)

Squeegie,

It's the intersection between University and Albert st which is East of Snelling. The parking lot I'm referring to is on the south side of university in a strip mall looking area. I'll be there at 7:00 pm sharp so just look for a bunch of BMW's in the middle of an abandoned a parking lot. Can't miss it...hope to see you all there.

Oh, by the way on a semi-random note, I'm in the process of getting my car repurchased from BMWNA under Minnesota's lemon laws and getting a new 2003/2004 330xi out of the deal or a 2003/2004 330i with zhp perf pckg. Pretty nifty, eh? A repeated problem with the DSC/abs/brake lights coming on while driving--so after 5 appointments to fix the same repeated problem and a letter of intent to file the car under the state's lemon laws, still wasn't fixed as of last week when the damn things came back on. New car here I come! :b_blue:

I'll write a post about it in more detail sometime soon once I know what's going on in the upcoming week or two.

Hey bros, I might be interested in this meet. What are you planning on doing once we meet up?

Have some dinner, take some pics, chat, do some crusing!

get drunk, cruise for chicks, illegal street racing, outrun a cop or two, the usual...;)

Hehe, where was I when this all happened??!!

Maybe this time....:buttrock

Allright, well I'm down for some of this action, as long as I don't have to break the law more than 10 or 15 times.

One question:
Are there a lot of people in Minneapolis and St. Paul, or are we just meeting on Univ ave cause of the scene?

ummm...it's more a combo of midpoint to all the suburbs, lots of people, and the scene. I estimate that about 10-12 BMW's will show even thought they haven't posted that they will cause that's what has happened in the past.

The last time we met was pretty early in the year and I think it was short notice if I remember correctly. We still managed 8 to 10 cars or so.
Midway was chosen because it's central to everyone and because of the scene. There are usually some pretty nice cars down there...
http://www.***************************************?s=&postid=875749

I actually posted the meet on maybe 3 or 4 other BMW forums and I know Tim from e46fanatics is gonna try to show up plus some people on DTM

Sweet deal!

Ok. well as long as I don't have anything too important happening, I'm down for this.

Since this will be my first meet, I have a couple more questions.

If we decide to get some food, won't you all be nervous to leave your cars out with all the punks crusing around on Univ ave?

Can my friend come with his 993 if he wants?

Anyone ever bring their gf's to these things, cause mine might wanna come.


BTW, I finally got pics of my car, which I've had now for a month or two.

Any tips on first mods?

MJD, nice car!!! As for the meet, it's really very laid back and bring your buddy and your girlfriend if you like. At the last meet, I brought my 2 buddies with their S4's, the more the better...

You bring up a good point on the parking with regards to dinner. I actually skipped dinner last time because I didnt feel comfortable leaving my car in a parking lot in downtown St. Paul. If we do dinner this time, I think we should pick a restaurant that is in the suburbs and has its own parking lot where we can watch the cars. I know, it sounds anal, but that's the way I am when it comes to my car. Maybe we can go to a Chili's or Friday's or Champps, just a thought.

As for tips on modding your car... All I can say is once you start, it's very difficult to stop. My list of mod's is almost embarrassing if you add up how much money I've spent.

I look forward to meeting you guys!!!

MJD,

We'll have enough people with us that if some punk wants to mess with our group of bmw's, I'm sure one of us can convienantly come up with a baseball bat from our trunk. No one really bothers a big group of BMW's except for that bum and crack hoe once that wanted cigarettes and bus money a few months back. If anything, we had a few just stop from driving by and check out all of our rides collectively. Even the cops stopped by!

As of now, I'm still not sure what everyone wants to do on the food issue(or the German restaurant). If everyone is legal, we can hit up a bar/restaurant and grab beer and appetizers. If not, then we run into an issue of losing part of our group which happened in the past. Solution: Bring fake id's!! hehe

Everyone is welcome, unless they are driving a riced out civic that scratches the ground cause it's lowered 12 inches, has a coffee can "exhaust" that buzzes, and has a minimum of 24 inch spoiler that of course does not match the body paint. Otherwise, all other nice cars are welcome. Porsches, BMW's, Mercedes, Audi, etc etc etc even domestics like vettes. If it's fast and looks nice, bring it. Although you must remember that they may feel left out when everyone is talking about Bmw's but that is a risk they will have to run. I for one wouldn't mind seeing a 993....

Joshe46 brought his girlfriend/finance(?) to one of the recent meets. I don't know how comfortable she felt(you'll have to ask him if he still attends this board), but it's your call depending on how much she likes/knows BMW's. Oh yea, and James brought his wife and a new supercharged mini once. We certainly didn't mind but for the most part it's just a bunch of guys hanging out talking about cars.

BTW, nice pics! Everyone will give you their view on mods to do and in what order, don't worry, you'll hear it from each person there for a total of 10+ repeated times once we get a peek in person!

To be honest Im prolly the youngest MN member and not of age sadly I have 2 years to wait. Stupid drinking laws, I wish this was Europe. Yea i have friend that has 318 that prolly wants to come. Hey jason do you mind if a 1.8t gti comes?

Drummerboybisch,

I was just kidding about the riced out thing....well kinda hehe. EVERYONE is welcome. Now whether or not I'm going to kindly give them crap about being a ricer is a different story. I'll be nice, I promise!

:biglaughb

the gti is not riced by any means, you said higher end so i didnt know if you wanted to exclude anyone. Just makes me think of that teacher back in the day, "now children play nice."

The Gasthaus in NE MPLS was the suggested dinner spot, but an Old Chicago or something would work too. There are quite a few options to where we can have both of age and under "drinking" age people hanging ou up in Roseville. I didn't pursue any reservations as I hadn't any clue what kind of numbers we were talking about.

Women are more than welcome! But as Jason said make sure they want to hang out with a bunch of car babbling guys. Josh's GF had a decent time but she got bored after a while. James was lucky his wife showed as she really isn't into cars at all. My wife won't attend, eventhough she drives a BMW she could care less about what makes the car soooooo coooool.

Jason you mentioned Corvettes. I might have to have my Dad bring down the "Viper Hunter". She is a 576 hp 584 lbs of torque 40th anniversary drop top. Loads of fun. Mostly in the trying to keep her pointed straight down the road.

Paul

Paul!!

Hehe, I want to see the "Viper Hunter"!!! You know after you told me about it and I told you my last car was a vette, I went back into convulsions thinking about them again. Damn, I love vettes....too bad they're only useful 6 months out of the year.

So this restaurant thing sounds like the majority then?? I like your idea of old chicago in Roseville(Snelling and country road B). We could caravan up there from our meeting point and all park together. Plus, for James' sake, you can monitor your car in the parking lot.

Let's get an idea of who wants old chicago, another restaurant, or no restaurant. Vote now or forever hold your peace.

My vote is old chicago.

Im underage by half a year, so any place like Old Chic or Fridays or Champps will probably work just fine. We can just meet up at the original place, then drive to the restaurant as Jason said.

I'll probably just come without my girl, just b/c I won't have to worry about making sure she is enjoying herself. If my friend with the Porsche wants to come, he will then too.

Also, M Triple, I wouldn't mind a quick ride in your supercharged m3, if only for comparison with my stock m3.

Another thing on the eating thing. Anyone ever been to Lion's Tap? Its an outstanding burger place in Eden Prarie, with nice roads to and from. Just a suggestion.

Mike

mmmmmm... Lion's Tap, thats some good burgers!!! I'm game for anything.

Rides are no problem...

Well hey if we are signing up for rides in M's car ill put myself down for one as well. If there is time of course. Ive been fascinated by it since i first started posting here.

I guess I should take a number too. :)

So it looks like the list is now

1. Mike- MJD
2. Steve- DBB
3. Alex- russian

Well it looks like you have a list for rides M.

EDIT- Alex it has now been updated, sorry I just didnt know your name I apologize.

???? would be Alex

lol, maybe I should charge admission....


I am actually considering putting my Dinan kit and everything I have that is related, up for sale. I am considering going the turbo route via AA. If anyone is interested, feel free to shoot me an email...

here is what would be included:

-Dinan Supercharger kit
-Aquamist water injection kit
-2 extra Vortech blower pulleys( can't remember the sizes off the top of my head)
-RMS 6 inch crank pulley
-assorted belts
-Dinan carbon fiber engine covers
-VDO boost gauge

The kit was purchased at the end of August 2002 from Motorwerks BMW in Bloomington. I installed it in September on my 97 M3 and reinstalled on my 96 M3 in February. All said the kit has around 2000 miles on it. The only real issue would be the software. Worst case scenario would be new software from Dinan or AA for around $800. If the buyer has an OBD2 M3, we could do a DME swap and then have the dealer do an EWS allignment for about $100.

I would need to get $4500 for everything, and of course if the buyer wishes to do the install, I will be happy to help!!!

Well the Post Man just showed up with my H&R coilovers straight from Germany. Im really excited to get these in, except Im off to Arizona to go bask in the desert sun for the weekend. 3 1/2 weeks of waiting payed off because they arrived today. Talk to you in a few days guys. Have a great weekend and get ready for the 11th.

EDIT: Have a safe and happy Fourth of July as well.

H&R's eh....thats sweet. Somebody buy M triple's supercharger so he can get an AA turbo. That would be something to see!

hey does anyone know of a good bodyshop for bmws around the twincities area.

Lametreys (spelling???) something to that does some good work. They worked on my dads car twice. Both jobs were done great and can tell nothing happened and the paint is flawless and blends perfectly. BTW he has a 99 528.

that's who I would recommend also... Lamettry's is how I think its spelled.

wats up guys i m new here :-D
jsut wanted to stop by and say sup to minnesota.

btw i ve been looking for you guys on every bmw forum lol couldn't find many people from mn

btw when are we gonna do the meet? i heard theres one the 11

Welcome Sheefo2k!

Yes, we're gonna meet on Fri July 11th 7:00pm at the empty-ish parking lot off of University and Albert street. Just go back a few pages to see all the details. Hope to see you there!

For a body shop I would recommend Raymond Autobody in St. Paul. They do all the work on Carousel/Maplewood imports cars and on several other higher end dealerships in the Twin Cities. We had my wife's car worked on there a month and a half ago. The car looks brand new, and they take great care of you.

Paul

sweeet, thanx jason.
will go back and read a little

Wohoo! Happy B-day to me!! It's my big 22nd and I'm getting tanked around U of M campus tonight. If you see me stumbling around the streets with a bunch of friends, holla! Hehe
:buttrock

happy bdaay jason lol
hey dude so now whos all going to the meet tmr?

As of early thursday afternoon, the weather forecast says 30% chance of showers during the day tomorrow and 30% chance at night. The meet is still on...I'm not letting a few rain drops cancel the whole thing!

See ya there

http://directory.e46fanatics.com/userlist.php?siteid=&stateid=27&countryid=26

use that for help wit' da meet

hey would u guys mind if 2 of my buddies with probs come too

cuz one of my friends, think that they ll make fun of them

Everyone is welcome is if your friends have some probs. ;)

Paul

I regret to inform everyone that I will not be able to attend the meet due to circumstances outside of my control. I was really looking forward to it, but I guess Ill now have to wait once again to make it to a meet. Hope you guys have fun and someone should take some pictures. Hopefully the turn out is getting better compared to the last one when Jason took pics. Well talk to you all later.

Steve

Hey M, on your H&R coilovers are using spacers to clear them with the stock wheels or to increase track on the car? Also were spacers required to clear the rims/tires?

DBB, sounds like you need some spacers... Call me, I have an exrtra set of 10mm that you can borrow until you get some. Clearance was not an issue with me and the stock rims(7.5") but it was really close. I am currently running 12mm up front to clear the BBK.

Let me know if I can help,

Bob Cooper
612-791-4599

looks sunny now!...ill be there most likely.

Awesome Bob Ill let you know. I havent installed them yet. Tomorrow?? I might try to do them depends if I have time. Ill let you know what happens.

I will be helping a friend install his new PSS9's on his E46 M3 at my house starting around noon. Give me a call if you wanna stop by...

Bob

Depending on what happens I may give you call to check it out.

Just got back from the party I went to after the meet. Anyway, Just wanted to thank the 2 dakar yellow drivahs....bob and james??????,( if I remember right), for the rides. Outstanding, I must say, and really makes me glad to be driving this kind of car. What a great night, is all I can say. Next time, we should meet and then have a nice cruise to dinner somewhere!

Thanks,
Mike D.

im the new guy with the red e30. thanks to all of you guys for allowing me to join you last night. you guys have some awesome cars. in case all of you arent aware, theres a loosely based concours and BBQ put on by the north star chapter cca at french park in plymouth on sunday the 13th starting at 11:00 am. directions are on the north star site. i understand you want to be at the gates by 11:00 am to aquire a parking permit. im not sure if space is limited or what. you may want to check the site. thanks again for last night and i hope to see you guys at the BBQ. steve

Thank you all for showing up...we ended up with a decent turnout overall. Steve, we all loved the e30!! As for the other newcomers, thanks for joining us and it was good meeting everyone.

Shereef, I would love to get that video from you however you can send it or even burn it onto a cd so I could pick up. He was video taping some spirited stop light racing down snelling between myself and some kind of open cab roadster that was louder than hell. At least I kept up with it!

If anyone would like pictures of the meet, please private message me with your email address so I can get them out to you...I've got about 7-8 good ones at 1600*1200 running around 750k each. So make sure your mail box can handle them. I will post the smaller versions early next week once I'm back from friend's lake house. Later folks!

Whats this about a video?! And also, we should meet up for a drive sometime soon.


Thanks brahs,
MD

yea yea i m working on teh video as we speak
it might not be all pro look like. but eh its just a fun video.
it was really really cool to meet you guys, everyone of u guys

the dakar yellow drivers, you both owe rides lol
so the video should be up tmr or so..

all righty take care and ttyl

3/4 done with my H&R coilovers. Fronts are all in, rear drivers side is done and im going to finish the other tomorrow it was just too buggy in the garage to keep going so i decided to quit. So far it hasnt been too bad other than for the quick trip to sears to get a 22mm standard deep socket so i could take off the front strut hats cause the impact one was too big, but so far really smooth on the install. Ill let you all know tomorrow how its working. Nacht.

Good to hear, we did some PSS9's today on an E46 M3 and it was challenging to say the least...

the video is done, jsut need a place to upload it
any one have any places ftp??

Everyone check out the video in a new thread under the regional section, or at least download it as a momento from out last meet. Features myself, Paul (mevil), and sherif on the way to Old Chicago after the meet. Sherif was nice enough to spend the time to edit and find the web space for it....:clap:

Ahhh, sorry I missed the meet. I was watching E46Fanatics and didn't see this thread. We need to have another meet so I can make it.

On that note is anyone going to Road America on August 22nd?

Tim

I should be at Road America. I think I may be getting all access passes from a friend of mine.

Paul

Yeah, sorry about that. I missed the details of the meet and then had something come up at the last minute. Lets have another meet so I can make it.

Road America is the ALMS race in Wisconsin the 22nd. Check out www.roadamerica.com for details.

Tim

nice nice, i wouldn't mind going.. how much is it?? and whos all going??

no idea on anything besides the date and location. Give them a call for the details.

James- I just read about the KB. I'm glad you're ok. Sorry to hear about the KB though. Thank god for the roll bar and recaro's.

Peace
Scott

Hey carb what did you read?

read this thread on OT (http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117566)

see the pics here (http://www.driftunderground.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=348)
:bawl

Thats too sad. Its just mangled.

James sorry to here about KB!!! I'm gad you were able to walk away from that!

I have been away from this thread for a while but its good to see alot of people on it.

//Mevil what have you been up to?

Did you get that blower installed yet?????????????

No I have been waiting for garage space. I have been getting impatient so I bought a house yesterday with a 3 car garage. MOve in Sept 10. I had a question on where you mounted your egt probe.

Plus I'm waiting for update parts from AA

I havent installed mine yet because Matt didnt have the time to do it last time I was at Orr. I was wondering the same thing about location. We should probably post something in the F/I forum.

Congrats on the new house, where did you buy??

When it comes time to put that thing in, let me know, I would love to help. Everything I have read indicates a very straightforward install taking between 12 to 14 hours...

BTW, that mod list is getting pretty long... lol

The suggestions that I have gotten so far is 1-3 inch from the flang on the # 6 cylinder.

Its always easier to buy than install!!!!!!!!!:help

True, it took me about three months to get up enough nerve to do my brakes...

The M3 isnt even done and I have started another project, an E36 M3 motor into a 89 325i. Good times!!!

The house is in Maplewood off hwy 36. It seems like every weekend has been taken this summer (Weddings, Boating, Work, and other unproductive B/S).

I have all the part for the fan deletion and an aluminium radiator that will be going in during the SC install allong with the new intake manifold. I was going to ask you why you opped not to do that mod (Intake)?

an E36 M3 motor into a 89 325i
This is from the KB? Any idea if James is going to part out? There could be some nice upgrades/parts I need for my 328.

I've often considered it, and may do it. I am about to do the RMS 8 rib pullies and AA software. When I talk to Karl, I will ask him about it and see what he says...

Sorry to put this up so late, but I figured someone might want the re-sized pics of the last meet on July 11th, 03 so here they are. I still have the original sized ones in 1600x1200 if anyone wants them. Just send me a pm. Later folks

on that last pic the bronze color, does anyone know if that person works at audio king in burnsville

I don't know. But did you need a deal on something at Audio King? I can help facilitate something if you need it.

Paul

Haha, here comes Paul giving every fellow bmw owner a hookup at audioking!! :clap:

Paul, haven't seen you post much recently....how's the black belt stuff going? I'm outta here on the 11-12th...but I've got my new car coming right around then. Later

You go that right! I'll help anyone get a hook up if I can do it. I don't think anyone should ever have to pay full retail if they can get around it.

The Black Belt stuff is going pretty good except for the cracked rib I sustained from a guy who is a first Dan (black Belt) in Aikido, who is going for his BB in Karate too. The sparring part is fun but man I have more black and blue spots than I did when I tried skate boarding.

Jason what have you got going on Wednesday evening?

Chris I'm doing good. Where is your new place in Little Canada? Are you close to Digger? Shoot me a PM with your number.

Paul

///Mevil: I am actually thinking about a new tv for my apartment. What is a good quality one around 27in thats not too expensive? I have this 19in right now that sucks; the sound is bad, it only has front AV inputs, with nothing but cable hookup in back, and ya.....so I need something nicer.

Thanks,
MD

Which Audio King do you live closest to? Once I know that I can hook you up with a person who can swing you a deal. There was just a huge shake up in the staff so I need to figure out where everyone is. My wife is an Ops manager for them so I know most of the management staff at the stores. Not to mention the fact I used to work for Audio King too. Just in case you were wondering how or why I can get people a deal.

Paul

paul ur the best
always be sexy man with ur deals lol
btw i might pm u soon
i might have couple things up bbq or somethign soon
later

Cool Beans! A BBQ or some other function would be a good thing to have again. I myself have just been too busy to start something.

Paul

It seems so dead around here lately. Anyone else notice that or is it just me?

yes indeeed wats up people??

hey hows it been going?

my computer had a virus... just got fixed today!!!

Any one want to meat this saturday or sunday just to see whats up?

I had that virus too, the one that shuts down your computer in ... seconds. Fixed now. I'm down for any sort of meet in the early evenings or mornings or daytimes. Just no weekend nights.
MD

Wow, what a thread.:)

My name is Aaron, I am 19, and I take delivery of my 92 325i within the next couple days. It is my second vehicle to be used daily to commute to school (paid for it myself, no cosigner either), and I am looking forward to getting it. It has 106k and is bone stock. I paid $6500 for it, so not too bad. It is quite clean.

If you see a younger guy cruising around the Burnsville/Apple Valley area in this car, it's me :)

As a side, has anyone seen a little tool driving around in a Dakar M3 convertible in the Apple Valley area? He drives like a complete jackass and takes his $35k car with his girlfriend to McDonald's on Cedar and then he always peels out even (even when it's wet) *thumbsdown*

Hey man welcome. Id love to say id see ya but im going to school on monday. BUt congrats on the purchase. Hope you have fun here and happy modding. Hope to see you at one of the meets in the future or for just some driving.

Welcome!

So how many of you run without front license plates? DO you have any problems with the cops?

dont Jinx me either

dude i got pulled over yesterday. got 2 tickets by the fuc king cop, and whew didn't mention my plates.. so i m good i guess
but dont jinx me either

Funny you should ask about the front plate. I have to go and pay my City of Roseville administrative ticket today for no front plate. I was pulled over last Thursday by a cop that had to be the most bored rookie on the force. He followed me more than a mile on cty rd B2 and then on Snelling ave. After he gave me the ticket he told some woman to use the crosswalk next time. Man I think he was having donut withdrawl! At least the ticket was only $10 compared to the $80 state ticket.

I still don't plan on putting the front plate on, but I do have it in the car now.

Paul

i got pulled over last week by a local wayzata cop for running a euro plate. he was very nice and talked at length about my car. asked me nicely to swap the euro plate out for the correct minnesota plate when i had time. let me go with no ticket. these cops know my car as wayzata is a small town and they see it frequently. i went home and swapped it out that afternoon as it would be hard to explain the next time he sees me. ive heard its a spendy ticket though. 70 or 80 bucks?????

paul nice :P

and bluntheadtrauma. are u the ReD M3 with the swapped M3 engine?? cuz if its u, i loved ur Euro Plate LooK.. i might get one soon and if u wanna gimme ur plate. i d be really thankfull :-D

well yes thats me but my cars just a lowly e30 not an m3. but its the 1 with the s52 motor. sorry about the euro plate but i already gave it to a buddy.

haha its kewl..

So whats everyones plans for the fall?

Personally I will be back up at school in st. cloud. If anyone is ever up there just let me know. Starting my second year at St. Johns and looking at finally declaring chemistry as my major. Anyways enough about me. I leave monday so everyone have a good fall in the cities, i might be every now and then for stuff.

school starts really soon for me too.

hopefully last year of high school and be done
nyways.. do u guys do meets in the winter or fall or wat?? cuz a lot of u guys prob dont drive ur cars in winter right?
my car is stock i know but i know i ll prob drive it very very little

I have no front plate; no problems all summer.

I'm back in Madison for school now though. I'm going to try to make it back one weekend before the car goes into storage in early November. Right now, I miss driving. Late

hey mjd wat do u drive in the winter????

Nothing out here, but at home, maxima.

Any one want to meet this weekend or this week?

Hey MJD what year are you out there?? I have a few friends that are at madison.

junior, but its only my 2nd semester here, cause I transferred from St thomas.

u didn't like saint thomas or wat??

UST was fine, I just wanted to move to a slightly larger scale, and UW is exactly that. D3 football is for small private schools in MN; true studs pay attn to the big time Big 10 stuff.

I can't believe you call them housefellows. I've only heard of RA's, or resident advisors, which is the same thing.

I have my own apartment. I couldn't bear another semester in dorms.

a lot of ppl call them housefellows at many schools

Ive never heard that term either, just the RA and such.

Hey sam, good to see you're still around. Looks like a nice new ride.

Scott

Hey buddy. I'm still around no doubt - living in the cities for good now. As you can see, I rid of the pesky 325i automatic for an M3. Next is trying to revive BimmerMods - not as a business, but rather a community/hobby site. We'll see how it goes.
What's new in your niche of the cities?

It would be really cool to see bimmermods.com come back up. Maybe they could sponser meets and stuff or get sponsers for uppermidwest events.

btw samson nice car. i dont think i ever saw u in mn.
later in the year i m gonna be working on a community of German tuner club.

any tgerman tuned automobile type thing is welcomed in the club. i can get a lot of vws and adui, i m trying to ge bmws, if ur intrested in my idea and wanna u know work together. i dlove it. i can def need help from a pro like u ..

again nice car bro:buttrock :buttrock

Not much new here. Still running the 328. Hopefully when it's paid off, i'll either be looking for a m3 vert, m roadster, or maybe a z4. Going to be a few years though. For now, i'm not going to do much if anything with the 328. Keep it as a daily. My kids are putting a beating to the poor thing. I get the hood buffed out and within a week scratches again. argghh.

It'd be great to see the bm site back up just as a forum. I drove past the old office the other day and saw the stickers in the window still.

Anyhow, we should get a fall cruise lined up. I haven't made any meets this year due to poor timing. A nice drive along the river would be awesome.

Peace
Scott

def wat he said..

and can i get any info on the bm??

Hey everyone. I should be back in town this wknd, so if anyone wants to meet up for a drive/dinner, I'd be down for that. The main reason I'm coming home is to drive the m3 before it goes into storage for the winter. Only other things I want to do for sure are meet up with some friends to party, and possibly play some poker at canterbury. Aside from that, it's a driving weekend.

mD

MD make a plan and let us know. I don't have solid plans as of yet.

Paul

Ill be home as well. I gots to put in my euro clears that showed up just after i left to go to school.

I'm game. Keep us posted

I am new to the board, and live in Apple Valley. I just traded in my 97 SC M3 for a 2000 M5. Anyone know where's a good place to race?

I would be game as well. I think I could get Eric and his E46 M3 to come, as well as Steve and his 332is.

Mach 5, welcome!!!!!

http://www.neulogik.com/BMW/bm1.jpg

We're missing something like 10 cars in that pic. We should organize a place and a time soon.

Does a location on I494 right south of down town seem central enough?

I would say yes since thats fairly close to...Samson if your st louis park straight down 100 to say maybe the raddison south hotel could work. Or some of the other places down by me.

I would probably be able to show up for a drive, the new tires won't be on the car though, So I'll have to take it easy, punk ass nails in my tires.

Wow, didn't know this many people would be interested. I still need to work out the details on my ride home, which may turn from definite to tentative, if I can't get ahold of this guy tonight.

I wish I had clears waiting to be installed. I have to wait until the spring to begin mods. Plan on doing the clears, as well as x-brace, front strut tower brace, CAI, and possibly rear strut tower brace.

How does Sunday 1pm work for everyone? - no heavy traffic - empty'ish parking lots - Saturday to detail etc..

sunday works for me but i will wait till tomorow night to make this a for sure and let everyone know so how about sunday but where?

I'm in.

How about meet somewhere on the UofM campus. Right next to downtown.

NO NO NO were gonna make your lazy ass drive somewhere. Why should we meet right in front of your house? Unless youre having a party!!!!

Hey, if you want girls this is the place its at. :boobies

Especially 10 Bimmers lined up :love1

Yea it dont really matter where we meet i guess as long as its easy enough to get to, lets try and have the official time and place set tonight tho cause i got me and 2 or 3 other bimmers that want to come, so hopefully we can get it all set by tonight.

Come on guys!! - We're not setting up an MTV beach party.

Cars, BMWs, :devillook Chicks are good :devillook ,, but lets shoot for convenience.

Sunday - 1:30pm - Far side of the COMPUSA/World Market parking-lot off France and I494

How does that sound.

Awesome thats so close. For people that dont know the area, get off on france and head north. Take the first left at the light after going over the bridge if youre coming from the west. If from the east just go straight at the light and you will wind back in. The COMP USA parking lot is right by circuit city seeing as COMPUSA is tucked back in and you cant see it when you are approaching the entrance for the parking lot.

If you want better directions just let me know I can actually get them i was just too lazy right now so i half assed it.

sweet
another meet before the winter goes bye bye :clap:
nyways, i ll do my best to show up. if i do show up i ll bring the vid camera

i ll tell tim 330i the owner of e46fanatics.com cuz he also wanted todo a meet so there i ll tel him
i ll post on e46 fanatics also.

so hoepefully it will be a big ass meet. whohooo

If you want ladies there - invite them as an audience.... If you go to the U of M,, you gotta know some right? They come dime a dozen there. Last time I was at Sally's a couple weeks ago I saw a couple cute ones, but none I'd unzip for. :laugh

I can get some of my G/F's girls to come -- Olaf girls are something else.

we are always cool with any girls.
and bring some under age ones too :D:D

its fine with me todo u of m. or france avenue. but lets decide quick.

FRANCE ALL THE WAY!!!!

It's more spread out at the France location - and no cops will 'move us along' if we are taking up spots in a parking lot (I'm hoping for a good number) --btw where would a good spot at the U be? --- maybe (if we do a drive) we could end there??

If it rains, I'll show up anyway - BUT if it rains -- don't eat lunch, cause we can go grab something BIG. :buttrock

Now, WHO'S IN?

If you're gonna be late, let us know so we don't get excited and go for a drive early. I'll post my cell if you wanna call (no late night drunk calling please,,,unless you are a pretty gal)

507 269 3515

alrighty. Samson ur doing a great job bro
and i like the whole idea of meeting at france. maybe we could even eat at the perkins on france, its a nice clean perkins, and we could always maybe do a drive till u of m.

Lets go to france first then drive to the uofm campus... I would like to see the reaction on peoples faces when 10 or so bimmers cruise.

Just talked to Mevil -- sez he'll come if his wife has to work... but I begged, so we'll see :help

I can't make it. Sucks, cause I live a couple miles from there. Unfortunately, I'm more than a couple miles from there right now. The dude I was riding back with this wknd is now not going back, so looks like I'm stuck here in Madison for another wknd of non stop parties. Have fun guys, and remember to take good driving video!

Im gonna try to get there. Depends on when I leave to head back up to school. Anyways the euro clears are almost on. Waiting on the high temp silver paint to dry so it doesnt look like I have egg yolks and then they are going in for the rest of the way. I have the rears and wonder why BMW didnt leave these on for the states. With a red car it it looks SOO much better not to have a yellow/red contrast.

I should make it barring any natural disasters, ie the wife.

How about a cruise route and off to some german place for dinner? or if you guys are into the University ave scene, we could goto porkies. Personally a cruise along the st croix river valley would be fun. Does everyone have FRS radios? That's an easy way to keep the group together.

If I dont get the suspension done on my E30 tomorrow, I wont go to the AARRF event in St. Cloud on sunday.

I might join you guys....

This car has 550+ hp, full cage, baer alcon based 6 pot BBK, spraco evo2000 seats, fire supresions system, moton suspension, forgeline wheels, hoosier slicks 335s in the back. We raced come crotch rockters, one was a yamaha yzf i believe and they couldnt catch us. What an awesome ride i must say.

Viper, only 550 hp ... what a puss

I'll take that any day :biglaughb

Wow, looks like you guys are busy....I wish I could make it but I'm in Iowa. Have fun and post some pictures!

BTW, the new car is sweet....6 speeds are definately better than the 5 that I had. Right now it's got 1060 miles--can't wait to be done with break-in!!

Take care guys!

Nice - getting excited now. I finally will get to use my new suction-camera mount. See you boys there. :buttrock :alright

Hey jason post some pics of your new ride when you get a chance.

Well, here's some small pics that I have so far. I hate this 76k file size limit, it sucks to re-size 1600x1200 pics down to 450x325 just to fit on the page. Oh well...enjoy!

Tight pictures samson. I like the one you took of mine. Thanks to the meet, i'll probably be dropping some more dough within the next few weeks. Suspension and Roof Spoiler here we come!

It was great to finally put some faces to BFC screen names. We should do this again before the snow arrives.

For those who might be interested, I'm trying to clear up some space in the garage. I thought I would post this stuff here because I would rather sell locally.

Make an offer:

SpeedWare Motorsport Harness bar- $400 new/$175???

Stock exhaust off of my M3-$75???

Set of Corner markers for M3 coupe-$45 new
(I had these on the car at our first meet in the spring, I'm not sure what you call them...)

Set of used euro floating rotors for M3 front- just come get them out of my garage, please....

Full set of trunk panels for E30's- free

Rear seat cushions for E30(tan)-free

Front Door panels and rear side panels(tan)-free

Rear deck for E30(tan)-free

I'll take the rotors if you are giving them away. I'm in minneapolis too.

Please let me know.

umm the fottage prob gonna be between my footage and sams fottage. i didn't take any of the driving so hopefully sams did.

Great pics sam as usual.

AS m-triple said...it was good to finally meet some of you as well as catch up with others. I still think we need to put together a 'fall cruise' mabye starting in like stilwater and running down to red wing or vice versa.

sheefo>did you get that fuse all fixed up? that was by far the longest 5min install i've seen :biglaughb

Great to see all of you!

Bob I may take the M3 exhaust off of your hands for the wife's 328i.

Scott your right we do need some sort of fall color cruise, but the when is going to be tough to set up for all of us. Do you want to take the lead on this?

Later all! Paul

Scott your right we do need some sort of fall color cruise, but the when is going to be tough to set up for all of us. Do you want to take the lead on this?

Me take the lead...you're crazy :D I'm the most indecisive person around. I can definately come up with a start, finish and route in between. The date is going to be the real problem as you said. Well, i'll throw this out, how about the weekend of Oct4/5 or Oct11/12? What weekend works best for people and which day Sat or Sun? Personally Sundays work better for me.

If anyone knows of any other german/euro fall cruises happening here, we could piggyback off of them too.

I had a great time meeting everyone. Sunday traffic was kinda heavy, but I DID get to jam my pedal a couple times in pursuit of 'M Triple's' SC'd beaut. Made me feel like I had a 2.5L again....

Sorry if I didn't get shots of everyones ride - was just too distracted by the good show of heads. I'd say ONE more meet - a good drive on some lesser traveled roads would be nice. . . maybe end up at one of the lake-side restaurants in Minnetonka.

Lets start tossing ideas around so we can catch the Indian Summer at it's peak.

So any word on the video?

Well, I have video,, but right now working on camera repair.... The DV is choppy - and I think I need to do some cleaning of the recorder head. I hope it didn't distort the information on the tape...

And here is another project I that has been stealing my time:


http://www.neulogik.com/LCD1.jpg

OH wow, its an LCD im assuming for another assumption a DVD player, possibly computer? No worries i was just curious about the video.

I acutally will be sacrificing an old gateway laptop to become a GPS system (using serial port GPS) - controlled by IR controller-mouse ~reciever mounted inside my AC vent.

Then yes, DVD player is next -- the laptop is too old to have dvd.

Pretty sweet i must say.

You must be quite the techie. I wouldn't know the first thing about installing AV anything in my car. But I tend to prefer OEM everything when it comes to stereos and stuff. I don't like the way a cd deck disrupts the consoles fluidity; it just stands out too much. But I love the screen.

Bob installed an Alpine 7894 in my 328 and it looks like it came from the factory that way with the black deck and amber lightning. You just have to choose your head unit carefully. And the sound is much better too, I highly recommend one if you can find them anymore.

Gary

I hear ya... I like a techno look for my stuff. I DID have a hard time moving away from the all black theme => but at night everything looks black. SSSOOOooo,, you can imagine the direction I am heading with my interior.,.

~;;..;;Techno silver/CF;;,,;;~

Plastic wood isn't tickling my fancy anymore...

The wood is a bit obnoxious I think too. Especially since my car has like 3 pieces of it in there - glove box, compartment above the computer, and the shift knob. It stands out as being out of place. Shoulda just leather wrapped everything I would have been happy.

Gary

I agree to what gary said, the placement of the wood was worthless. I would have liked to see a aluminum leather knob or something.

Unrelated topic, check out this thread for those of you with the Alpine 7894 head unit or those with timing corrections. I'm still trying to get the best sound out of this, but the stock speakers are really bad.

Hey Fella's, just found the forum today. Picked up a 2001 540i (actually Dinan 5) today in Kansas City with 14,000 miles on it. Drove it back today, what a hoot. I am up in Champlin and new to the BMW world so looking to meet up and learn from you guys "in the know". Here is a pic of the car and a list of the Dinan mods.

http://mediaservice.photoisland.com/auction/Sep/20039197350904429007515.jpg

They include cold air intake, exhaust system, air flow meter, intake manifold, throttle body, light weight flywheel, high performance clutch and pressure plate, high performance rear axle gears and Dinan stage 5 computer and software.


Mac

Welcome, that thing must be pretty sweet. Needs some suspension and you would be set for a sweet daily driver.

You know what, I would like some more info along those lines as I am only going to use the car on the street (not track) and I am interested in how suspension mods can improve an already nice ride, IMO!!! Thanks for the compliments.

Mac

Welcome MaXX!

Paul

Thanks Paul!

Are there any local "get-together's" coming up here in MN???

Swung into Motowerks this afternoon and picked up some parts to make the car as right as possible until I get my rim and tire. Frank behind the parts counter was very helpful (as was Charlie?? in service).

Thanks for the welcome.

Mac

Well MaXX we're working on that get together thing along with a fall drive. I don't know when that may happen or if it will come to fruition at all. What's up the rim and tire?

Scott yeah I'm pretty indecisive too remember. Both those weekends are out for me. The 3/4/5 is the Diamond Nationals Karate tournament, and I have a wedding to go to the weekend of the 9/10/11.

Paul

Paul, regarding the rim. The guy I bought the car from replaced the rear tires as the originals were worn to the wear bars. Anyway, rather then buying a set of tires and having them put on the rims, he bought one tire (for the left side rear rim) and put the spare on the rear right and put the worn right rear rim and tire in as a spare. Well, the spare in the 540 is an 8J X 17 with a 235 tire on it and the rear wheels are 9J X 17 with 255's (you undoubtedly know that). Anyway, you can of course run the 8 on the rear, but I didn't catch the different sizes until I got home (drove the car back from KC). Upon investigation and actually removing what I thought was the spare (the actual original 9 from the rear right) I find that it has been curb rashed. So, long story short, I am still running the spare (the extra 8) on the rear right while I send out that 9 to be fixed at RimPRO. When it gets back, I will have a new 255 waiting for it, mount it up and put the spare back in the trunk as the 255 that is on the right side rear only has 500 miles on it. The guy I bought the car from is a stand up guy though, he is reimbursing me for all charges regarding the wheel and replacing some plastic on the right front wheel well (parked up on a curb).

Mac

BTW, I am ready to go for a drive or have a meet anytime. What is everyone doing this Friday??? Maybe get together at Grandma's in Plymouth or somewhere with an OK parking lot downtown!!! How about Dulano's Pizza on Lake Street (like 1st Thursday with Motorcycles) after work Friday????

Edit: Even if we only get 4-5 cars, it is a start!!!

Mac

hey maxx. congrats on the car
wat a beautiful thing.

dont mind me asking but how much??

sam i like the lcd, dont forget to paint the wood panel. u should paint it white/dark white. or some color that would match good with black.
i dunno.

hmm thats abuot it

and yea when u get done with the video. send it. i haven't worked at all on mine tho. so send watever u got even if its bad

MaXX good catch on your part as early as you did otherwise the seller may not have been as stand up. I'm heading out of town Friday after work so I can't make this week. MaXX do you ride too? I know that Mtriple and I both do maybe a two wheel meet is also in order before the snow flies.


Paul

Mevil, yeah I ride!!! I have 3 bikes as garage mates to the 540. A CBR 1100 XX, Aprilia Mille and Aprilia Tuono R (only one in the State so if you have seen it, you have seen me). Here is some more info.

http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=134011


I am always up to go for a ride. Because I am selling the Tuono R, I am not riding it anymore but I do have the Mille back in Street form (almost legal, it is my trackbike) and the XX is always up for a scoot. Just let me know.

SHeefo2k, I will tell you in person, kind of caddy to say on a public board (although, probably not so much on this board). Email me if you want (rockmeupto192@hotmail.com)

MaXX

Is anyone on this board going to be at Dulano's this Thur? This is definitely the last time I'm getting my bike out there this year. It's always nice to be able to talk in person. If not I'm still up for a ride some time.

Question: How is MN license plate fee determined when you buy a car?

Hey Mevil what do you ride? How about M Triple (Bob)?

I'm on a 97 CBR 600 F3, Bob tides a Triumph speed triple. The plate fee is determined by how much the car is vakued at by the state, the following plates are just the usual $99.

I may head down to Dulano's but I don't know yet.
