BavAuto Show & Shine - Did you make it?

[Mars_e30]

I didn't see any R3V stickers anywhere? How many members made it to our show??

[UNHCLL]

I was, but did not show a car.

I was bummed out at what was displayed. The E46 M3 and E38 7er with the ghetto brake caliper covers("Brembo" & "Schnitzer" respectively) really set the tone. ;) Or maybe that was the e39 that could knock over the building with his bass... :roll:

Once again, you guys had a lot of food and good drinks. Nice work!

That show is more like a Kraut fest... I grew up in NH and hung out at the showroom all the time on the weekends back in the day. That was nearly 10 years ago now, and I've watched the catalog fill with ricey garbage and the client base at the shows go downhill with it. Sad really.

I was there. I have made it there since 2005, but like Jordan and Chris said, its gone to shit. I hang with the E28 guys, and there were some nice E30's there. However some of the E30's are a little "ricey".

As a matter of fact, I rode up with my friend in his Hartge H5S.

The mye28 guys brought a decent showing.
I wanted to get a ride in Jeremy's TCD car, but having just gotten up and moving after some surgery... I wasn't to game on jumping in and out of cars.

There were definatly more nice cars than bad ones, but the bad ones were so bad they made the whole show seem worse.

[BenM]

A few good ones from the ride home, and I just resized them:

Nice E24. Just about the only car the Alpina front end looks like it belongs on.

[SchnellerVert]

The E24 is sick, I have seen it a few times in person. Lots of money has been spent on it.

I went to it for the second time. last year we showed up late and still were able to park in the lot. This year I was so pissed at all the rats sitting in the show lot while my friends M3, M5 and two of the better e30s parked in the dunkin donuts lot. Fucking gay. I am glad the owners of the puss minis were able to get show parking, and we walked down the street. I did however see a few impressive cars, it just sucks that about 90% of them sucked balls. Overall a pretty poor turnout for the clean NE guys.

[Mars_e30]

There was an amazing turnout this year. Unfortunately we are presently limited to about 350 spaces. There were guys lined up at the gate waiting at 6:30AM when I showed up. This event is intended to be more of a "meet" than a "show". Everyone is welcome... Not just show cars. The spaces have to be first come first serve. We've tried pre-registration in the past, but it just turned into a fiasco when the registered cars didn't show. My advice would be to get here good and early next year. I'd love to see even more e30's at the next event.

I was a little disappointed with some of the cars, strobes and DVD screens just don't do it for me, but if you looked around, there was a one-owner 50K mile e30 convertible, the Targa Newfoundland M3, the 1-owner Henna E30 M3, the e24's were well represented, an original-owner Bavaria.... Pretty cool cars that you just don't get to see every day. Definitely worth going.

[VAPORBLADE]

I will have to go next year with my car. It should be ready by then (maybe) - and at least I can chill with the sam3! :)

[Kate525i]

It was my first year... couldn't show my car because we got there too late, but she's not ready to be shown anyway....it wasn't too bad... I was hoping more of the "older" bimmers (2002's,and those from the late 80's early 90's) would be there, and not all riced to shit... the majority of e36's were WAY over done and riced.... I loved the 2002 hatchback that won best in show (ironically parked near the over riced/ strobed/ plasmaTV'd cars...) eh, hopefully those of us who don't do that to cars that don't deserve it will go early next year and beat them out of a few spots so that we'll have more of a chance...

[Mless5]

No and I can't say that I regret... Well except hanging on with mye28 friends.
