Roanoke/Blacksburg guys?

ZTZ1010 · 12-08-2010, 09:29 PM

I go to Roanoke College and I seem to be seeing more and more modified bimmers around campus and up in Blacksburg when I'm at VA Tech. Mostly E36 M3s and a few E46's, but once in a while an E92 or E60. I've spoken to a few of the kids at my school, but only a few know anything about their cars.

Just wondering if there are any active members from this part of the state.. would be nice to know I'm not the only one!

I was in Blacksburg this past weekend, but I live in DC now. I've noticed a lot of E36's around VT the last two years, def a lot more then when I went there.

cotmfk · 12-09-2010, 08:07 AM

I am in those areas on a sporadic basis.

wakeboarder109 · 12-09-2010, 12:20 PM

I just graduated last year as well. I'm in the area every month or so for business. There were a fair amount around when I was there. Not too many 335s though.

Shieldze1025 · 12-09-2010, 01:03 PM

Wakeboarder what was your major? I was '09 too, I feel like we've brought this up before but I don't remember lol

Penn999 · 12-09-2010, 01:06 PM

I know a dude at Radford with an e36 m3 that would probably burn you up. He knows A LOT about bmw's in general. He works at Bimmworld down there.

EDIT: and seeing that you go to Roanoke, a private college, daddy probably bought them the car which explains the lack or enthusiasm or knowledge about it IMO. Once I started paying the bills I learned all about my car. BTW I went to Hampden-Sydney so I know all about the guys with nice rides that know nothing about them, kinda sad...

Extremely unnecessary and kinda F'd up. Theres a ton of kids on here with daddy's money but no one calls them out. Who gives a shit really, if you had a pair you would know that you worked to get yours and that's all that matters.

HAHA oh I have a pair, he asked why they dont know about their cars. That was the only logical thing I could think of. I agree that it doesnt matter how you got the car, but not knowing about such an amazing machine is a sin IMO.

Penn999 · 12-09-2010, 03:57 PM

I would love to race some of you local guys and we will see who has a pair.

burningchicken · 12-09-2010, 06:29 PM

oh herrooo
im a student at tech. Yea you do see plenty of modified e36 and 46's here. Of the e9x's ive seen, theres been only one modified one. It was parked at burruss with blacklines. Theres also a really nice e93 that is parked by burruss on most days. I think its a professors.

ZTZ1010 · 01-03-2011, 08:44 PM

any interest in setting up a meet sometime?? either BBurg or Roanoke area?

TNganele · 11-07-2011, 01:50 PM

That car is still out of price range for a typical college student! If the car isn't, maintaining one is! And I don't even remember where the nearest BMW dealer was in that area. Maybe it was all the way in Roanoke!

I graduated from VT before the 335 came out but I don't remember many late model BMW's in general there. The only one I remember off hand was Marcus Vick's new 7 series at the time.
