pics from the BMW M-Fest in Las Vegas - 56K Death

[vlad]

I wanted to ship my car there which would be a lot of fun but.. as always, it was too late etc..etc..etc.. so I jumped on the plane and we were in Vegas Thursday night. As always, Vegas was booming with different activities

Miss America rehersal






walked around then went for coffee



and fancy deserts





we stayed at teh Palazo (where all M-Fest people stayed), it's right next to the Venitian













even though, I just came back from Italy few month ago, the atmosphere was very nice !

My bro drove his brand new 09 4dr M3 from San Francisco

Nice pics Vlad. It was awesome to meet you and put a face to a name.

same here bro ! I was surprised to see you since I know you are from TN :D
did you take any pics?

continuation...

after cars & coffee everyone headed to the race track















the drive was beautiful, the scenery there is just amazing









that's when all the madness began

I was taking this pic



when a carbon fiber front lower lip from the car in front of us flew in teh air and hit us so hard that I thought we ran over a dog or something, this was one of the scariest moments in my life

this is the car that lost it's lip



the damage





we got back on the highway and soon were near the track



this is what waited for us at the race track



AC Schnitzer M1 with Pro -car body kit (fitted by ACS) in Germany



check out the vintage Pirellis, they are Brand NEW !



More eye candy there

[vlad]

you can rent these garages for around $350 a month, right at the track, very cool !



you can even install the lift in it











this is the same guy who owns that white M1





He also owns e30 m3 and is now building e30 M3 vert replica :up:

vegas + m cars = fuck im going next year.

[shmutzigE30]

wow looks like a lot of fun.

that sucks about your bro car though.

the next day there was a car show at the roof-top of the palazo hotel, it was very cool with a lot of nice cars but I was too drunk from the night before to think and to bring my good camera, so here are some iPhone pics, sorry

















after the show it was pretty much over, so we walked around LV taking some more pics







some local falks













we got some dinner





and then drove to Los Angeles where we hang out with some friendsin Hollywood





of course we were stuck in mad traffic there (typical LA)





After LA we drove to San Francisco (6 hour drive)

I have to say that SF has some of the most awesome cars that you can see on the streets, the kind of cars that you would almost never see here in NYC















All in all - a great trip ! Loads of fun and good memories !
One thing that impressed me the most, was the new M3, I spent 700 miles driving in it and was as fresh as the baby boy, 4 people and 4 suitcases in the car and still lots of room, very very comfortable, a lot of power, huge amount of torgue, just awesome to drive








that's pretty much it, thanks for looking
