Nice! Is this a weekly or monthly thing you do?

We have meets every now and then. Check here or on mnbmw.com for more info.

Showsol2211 · 02-17-2011, 01:12 PM

Oh how nice it is to be back on here. I have been so unbelievably busy with life lately that I haven't even had time to enjoy my car or fellow BMW friends. I hope everything is going well and I hope to be more involved with meets/greetings very soon!

Thanks!

bends I'd steer clear of. curb rash, who cares, fix it or not. we live in Minnesota, it's gonna happen eventually when your gal drives through the Mc D's drive through or when your buddy has to drive your car home cause you've had a couple to many

Hell, my RAC Monolites bounced off of a curb once. I nearly cried. then thought about the fact it's gonna happen. this ain't no Bugatti Veyron. I got it fixed

Just joined up recently and wanted to introduce myself. The wife picked up a 135i last fall and I just grabbed a 328i with the msport pkg yesterday. Looking forward to autocrossing the cars this year. We are total converts from Mazda and VW.

Cool! Welcome!

If you like autox, Perhaps we could talk you into coming up to BIR for some of their track days this summer.

mattdesmond · 03-01-2011, 05:17 PM

Definitely interested in track days also. Kind of a haul to Brainerd, but would love to do at least one. I need to join BMWCCA.

Hey, what's up guys! I've been lurking on the forums up until recently and I finally decided to register and get active. I picked up a CPO 08 E90 335xi about two months ago from BMW of Minnetonka. Starting to get the mod bug, so this spring should be interesting.

Velcome! You're going to love the 335. If you have any questions I'll be happy to help along the way

Thanks for the help! Yeah, I noticed a couple posts in this thread mentioning the other board over on mnbmw.com. I registered over there as well, just waiting to hear back that I can log in.

Showsol2211 · 04-21-2011, 09:35 AM

It's been a while since I have posted in here so I had to read back a ways to make sure that everyone is still alive and kickin!

Hope that everyone is ready for summer. Any projects going on. I am currently looking for a set of wheels ASAP since I cracked on of my OEMs on the shitty MN roads. hopefully will have something this week! I'll keep everyone posted on everything else that will be done. I'm still debating on springs or KWv3's.
