Ok 10 or 20 bucks is better but shit, I really hope they do more for the older cars too.

Think about it, the 2002s, e21s and e30s alone, made up for more than 65% of last year's BFest attendees, maybe my guestimate is wrong but that's what I saw.

[E30_fiend]

still though, $20 to look at bunch of cars where pictures would suffice, and where you can fucking rev a motor let alone start a damn car. I was so unpleased last year it wasnt even funny. $10 seems fair for the show but $20 us just being greedy. I mean whats the use of a 1300whp car sitting right in front of you if you cant even hear it start up? you might as well just be looking at a picture of the damn thing. Honestly, the drive TO bimmerfest and the breakfast before hand is what I always look forward to. As I stated before, this event is getting more and more modern every year and the old cars just keep fading into the shadows.

Fuck me! $30.00 dollars to go in? I think I'll be riding with someone else and splitting the parking fee, too much for an event that isn't giving me shit in return for my money.

it's $20/car or $10 person

[Alkasquawlik]

Also, Christophe is good people. You'll meet him for sure. We will drag him to some meets sometime.

meet or meat? ;)

hopefully to chill with some friends afterwards!

looking forward to meeting you Alks..... uuh this summer.

well whether I attend the event or not I will be at the after party wherever it might be. And yeah I about shit last year when they wanted 20 bucks to get in. The three years prior to last year it was 10 bucks which is decent.

Also, Christophe is good people. You'll meet him for sure. We will drag him to some meets sometime.

Bimmerfest is still a GIANT maybe for me this year. As of right now I'm leaning toward not going but who knows, I may change my mind.

i'm going if i can afford it

[mammoth_e30]

That was the original reason why I wasn't going and I'm still confused about the fees for this BFest? but anyways I'll be representing with my e30.

Copied from the website:
Entry Fee: $20 per BMW to park in the show -- $10 per person to walk in -- kids 12 and under are free

I've never been to bimmerfest so and I'm also not familiar with Pasadena cops, but having spoken with Edwin, Ben and Joey this past weekend and seeing Taylor's rant I understand when many people who were really on-board with this being in SB are now very deterred from going at it's new location.

My car doesn't attract much attention, or at least the wrong kind, so I'm going just for the experience. and hopefully to chill with some friends afterwards!

looking forward to meeting you Alks..... uuh this summer.

I just cant jump on board with this as of yet. There is nothing that is really drawing me this year. After seeing the shitty e30 turnout last year and the lack of organization of last year, I have a feeling its going to keep getting gauged more toward the newer fuh raze cars.

you can get a ticket for being lowered? never knew that...

taking off tint isn't hard for just the front windows which is the only tint you'd need to remove by cali state law

exhaust is one thing but thankfully you work around that since it's subjective so long as you don't get a state referee ticket your ok...someone with boost or a roll cage has a lot more to be concerned with as they practically guaranteed a state referee ticket

yes you can get a ticket for being lowered. the distance from middle of your headlight to the ground can be no less than 21" unless the car came from the factory at that height.

and yes tint isnt hard to take off but you still have to pay to get it reinstalled nicely.

with exhaust, its the noise that will catch the cop's attention. All they need to say is its louder than 90 decibles which is the legal limit. Believe me, I have gone through all this before.

It just doesnt seem worth the risk of going. In Santa Barbara, the cops arent looking for that they are looking for people speeding or breaking the tires loose or simplyjust being dumb. Pasadena police are going to be out in high numbers and they are going to be looking to write a lot of tickets. Takes one stupid move and your shit is impounded.

I hope you guys understand what Im trying to say. Bimmerfest being in SB was the main reason I liked going. Everything keeps migrating further and further south and it sucks for the people who live more north. Bimmerfest was the last Euro thing we had in this area and now it has moved 1.5-2 hours away. You guys have all the big events already. This just adds to the ever growing list. I mean there are a ton of guys from Nor Cal who arent going this year simply because of the location. If they didnt change the venue, they would have higher numbers. But now that they HAVE changed the location, they will apeal to more people further south.

I just cant jump onboard with this as of yet. There is nothing that is really drawing me this year. After seeing the shitty e30 turnout last year and the lack of organization of last year, I have a feeling its going to keep getting gauged more toward the newer fuh raze cars.
