Hopefully this is a good spot....
Got up early and picked up my drive for the event, a slick little E28 535i.

Met up with 2man and (can't remember your name now dang-it), grabbed some coffee and headed in.

Very cool to see the variety this year.

Jeff Caplan of Odometer Gears brought out his recently near-finished 6-year-project E28 (sporting throttle bodies, a healthy turbo, mil-spec wiring and so much more).
Ireland Engineering was out en force. Ken from VintageBMWRacing brought out an M10 on an engine dyno, pretty fun to see it fire up right there.
IMG_4029
Matt Rhose and his crew from Ronin Autowerks brought out a few of their 2002 racers and restomods.

Jack Fahuna brought this neat M20'02. Digging that header setup... ALOT
IMG_4049
Neat to see the guys from BAT come out as well.

IMG_4027
Couple cool NK's
IMG_4026
Awesome Coupe sporting a stroker M30 running megasquirt. This thing was beautiful.

Another beautiful car, this Taiga Green Bavaria was stunning. Rey really knocked it out on this one.
IMG_4023
Always happy to see the proper use of "your, you're".

Hard to believe Andrew's M20'02 was built a decade ago already.

IMG_4017
IMG_4021
IMG_4015
Finally got to see Tony's new version of his M20'02 beast.
IMG_4005
I talked quite a bit, and as a result didn't get many pictures during the peak hours of the show. However, being around at the end afforded some really fun picture options.

Quick excuse to get my ride for the day in here. It drove great, a sweet-heart of an E28.
IMG_4109
IMG_4106
There were quite a few interesting non-bmw cars worth mentioning as well.
IMG_4104
Jan's S14-02 and Jim Huff's Petrolicious-featured Neue Klasse
IMG_4101
IMG_4093
IMG_4087
Very commendable that Mike, Emily, and Andrew booked it back from SEMA in time to come out with the E28 Parts Car with its new livery.

Jesus found this hood neglected in a yard a couple years back and had it hiding in his garage. On Thursday he decided this was the year, and rocked it on his Alpina E12. Her name is Lola.
IMG_4061
Mr. Tom Jones rummaging in the back of the very same car he learned to drive stick on (it's still even running the same clutch).
IMG_4059
Dan Melcher's F20'02 interior, in all its ostrich-leather glory. Awesome.
IMG_4057
Lovely traffic on the way home (happens every year).
IMG_4117
It was a fantastic show this year. One of, if not, the best event to date. These pictures are FAR from an accurate representation of scale of the show, hopefully you enjoy them nonetheless.
