Hey All,

Been lurking around this forum for a while; did some researching and posting when my dad first bought his '08 535xi. Now that I have my own, figured I'd get more involved and share some knowledge, but more importantly - learn! I'm in the Broomfield/Boulder area.

I have a 2012 E92 M-Sport. I just "applied" for the BMW group on facebook so hopefully I'll be able to meet up with you fellas at some juncture this summer!

Very nice-- those AWD models are neat

I hope you can come to Drive 4 Corners in August! http://drive4corners.com

Beauty.

Thanks for the warm welcome, fellas!


That 4corners meet looks like it could be a blast!

I'm in Broomfield! Just graduated college and debating on what to do next with life; maybe a move?! Who knows!

That was me two years ago. Now I have a job up near broomfield/ Louisville and have been working on moving up here full time.

You want to get a job and start a career

Right on! Mind if I ask what you do?

I was at a marketing firm in Boulder but left to focus on the last semester of school, got a little too intense to be working 50hrs a week and being a full time student. I was having to share my homework time with more work items and my school was suffering.

That sounds way too much like being an adult...

Haha I know how you feel. I was in the same boat as you 1.5 yr ago. Wait, I actually just graduated again last month. So I'm in the same boat as you

Peter Pan really had it all figured out, if I'm being honest.

Again? Dang! What are your degrees in?

My sister completed two degrees in the time it took me to do one, whoops!

I went to school in Colorado Springs for Mechanical Engineering.

I have been working at a research and development facility for a company that does industrial finishing. So we work on spray guns, fluid pumps, and general fluid handling like regulators, filters, etc. I have been involved in the plural component paints and an (entry level) electronic mixing machine that allows materials to be mixed at different ratios, say 1:1 or 50:1 like what would be used in wood finishing operations. I have been commuting 90 miles a day for the past 20 months (in my e28 535i) and got hired full time at the start of this year.

Oh, and I do a lot of planning for Drive 4 Corners BMW Meet to keep me sane...I'm excited for this year.

Heck yeah, that's awesome! Gotta love it when the hard work pays off! It's all about having hobbies to occupy and offset the insanity of life. Which is why we're all here, ha.


PS. I just did a little more in depth reading on the 4 corners event and realized it's in Pagosa Springs. Love it! They were one of my clients at the firm.

I am now in process of buying a house, it will be nice as I will finally have space to put some needed work into my cars, plus I'll actually have all of my stuff in one place!

[raceyBMW]

I wish I had more space to work on my cars....I have so many wheels and tires right now that I have to store 2 in the trunk of my 540 because I have nowhere to put them!

I know how you feel, I have 4 sets of wheels without tires right now

But soon enough i'll have a place, I hope. The only problem is if you find space to put stuff, you will fill it too!
