Thanks again, didnt mean to hijack the thread. Handwash only here too, just thinking if its a cold winter might be a little hard. Will def skip them towel drying my car, maybe they will let me pull off and let me dry it myself using my own towels...LOL

phx08 · 10-05-2006, 09:24 PM

I'm guessing we should really get a meet going before its too late (winter time). Valley Forge is the only place i can think of, or maybe at the mall, and then just take some pics in the parking garage near Neiman Marcus. Really nice lighting there even its dark..

wvtlo · 10-08-2006, 05:14 PM

A quick hello from Pottstown. See you guys on the road! :rocks:

MainlineE90man · 10-10-2006, 10:04 AM

Dukes can be hit or miss... I hand wash, or have my detail shop do it for me....there are some perks to this business......

NovaBimmer · 10-10-2006, 10:14 AM

Let's set-up a meet for this sunday...1pm? Please give a location...

JackMac · 10-10-2006, 12:51 PM

OK, how about at Valley Forge Park. Location is the Varnum's Picnic Area. There is a parking lot and rest room there. This is on the main road (Rt 23).

See attached map (zoom in after you open). Across the street from the (9)

I think I can make it.

VinceO · 10-10-2006, 02:03 PM

Won't be able to make the meet on the 15th but wanted to say hi. Just picked up a E90 and live in East Norriton (outside Norristown).

Zeroday · 10-10-2006, 02:14 PM

Sorry but Sundays are gonna be out for me till the first week of November guys (when the Eagles go on a bye week) Maybe I'll catch another one some other time.

i work in the great valley corporate center

JackMac · 10-10-2006, 04:49 PM

Ah, Eagles are playing at 1:00. May need to rethink the date or time.

NovaBimmer · 10-10-2006, 05:14 PM

Yep. Agreed. What about the following sat?

phuwok · 10-10-2006, 07:02 PM

Thanks for the invite, but Sunday is out for me. Same reason as Zeroday. Eagles only on Sunday.

I should be taking possession of my new 335 by the 21st. Be happy to show it off if I can get some free time. 335i, Monaco, Saddle, Sport, Premium, Nav, CA, heated seats.

cool, i'm at eclipsys (tucked away on lapp road). do you play on the vanguard softball team? i think we're in the same league!

Jraff · 10-12-2006, 02:46 PM

New member from Havertown, work in CC. Monaco Blue 330i, from Otto's in West Chester. Anyone have experience with Otto's service department?

To add to the detail / hand wash discussion, I go to Auto Appearance in Bala Cynwyd (they are located in the lower level of the Saks Fifth Ave parking garage). Good guys, have been going to them for years. Always comes out perfect. 610.668.3909

JackMac · 10-12-2006, 02:54 PM

I'm going to Otto's service tomorrow for the 1st time. Will let you know how it goes. Just an oil/filter at 7500 miles (customer pay). Got the appt today with less than 24 hours notice, so that's a good start.

phx08 · 10-12-2006, 07:25 PM

Yeah Jack,

Thats good, you should get pretty good service from there, your going for the Mini right? You should squeeze in the t-drive for the 35i while your there...

Also, anyone here have any experiences with other dealerships then Devon Hill?..which i think now has the stingiest test driving habits ever..

2bmw2 · 10-12-2006, 07:32 PM

ezatnova: my advice on vanguard: looks great on the resume but don't stay too long. rethink you success each year as partnership approaches
