Michigan (SE mainly) Fanatics out there?

[anerbe]

I'm sure in the motor capital of the world, we have some BMW enthusiasts! I found a couple on the boards, but would like to see a larger showing. I dropped by an audi meet, and the guys are fanatics! (Borderline Crazy :) )

[ak330i]

howd :hi: im in SE MI

[TIS330CI]

Hopefully we can get something going soon.

[rayZ4]

being the motor capital of the world, you'd think there would be nice roads. :banghead:

new in Rochester, nice to met you guys

[dbtheo]

even though I'm in Ohio, I'd come up, not a very far drive, only about 3 in BMW time :)

[330Ci683]

I'm in Indy. If you are planning to get a meet together, I'd definitely consider coming.

[mfspolo]

:hi:

argh!! i wish i could go back too! just moved here from LA actually. all i can say is i miss SoCal winters! there isn't anything to do here! :cry:

i rarely see civics here let alone bm's...im up in rochester, where are you at?

[mfspolo]

Im up in metamora area...there is NOTHING OUT HERE...im always around in like rochester hills/farmington hills

and yes there is NOTHING around here...windsor is fun though:D
its kinda weird...at my aunts place..i seen lambo's...porsche's i see 3-4 e46's everytime i go there...they are always different too...just wish they where on these forums...i know a few people that go to UofM

[mfspolo]

Mid-April is good, somebody pic a day/time/place and I'm there :thumbup:

yea somebody post a date...and we can throw some ideas together...mid-late april would be PERFECT for me...but we gotta know everybody's schedule:thumbup: how old is everybody on here:dunno:

The date and place is up to you Michigan folks, I work for myself, so my schedule is open, and I'm 28

[330Ci683]

My schedule is all f****d up at work. I work nights and every other weekend... and a lot of days in between. :) Just let me know what day and where it is and I will try to make it. How far are you guys from Indy? Oh, and I'm 34 y/o.

[anerbe]

hopefully a time can be figured out mid April. I am very busy right now up until mid May but hopefully for 1 weekend we can all meet up.

I have a couple of audi friends who are participating in a track date on April 10. I will check for details, but I believe it will be held at Gingerman (autox) in Grand Rapids. Me as well as another m3 will try to represent there. This is open to all cars, so perhaps the enthusiasts that have been itching to take their cars on a road course will enjoy. otherwise, One meeting should be good sometime next month to get to meet others in the area. During the summer, perhaps a regualr scheduled get together would be great. My suggestion is somewhere on woodward......car groups are always meeting throughout the side of the road.

Man, I feel sorry for you and agree as far as the life. I have been here a month and there is VERY LITTLE to do here. St. Patty's was nice though. Spent it in Royal Oak. If you guys think of a meet, I'm definetly in if I am around.

Oh yea, and roads SUCK here. Now I can understand why american designed cars do too. They are built for Michigan! After about 1k of driving these roads my control arms are acting up, never did so before :( BTW, if you're looking for a place to do service past warranty try Nikolas Motorsport. Not trying to plug them , but I just did my inspection II there and they were great. Even got a free loaner!

Cheers,
J

soo guys, anyone know of a good spot to meet that doesn't require driving through dodgy areas? im bored as *ish, oakland mall is kinda crappy, and woodward has too many potholes...maybe birmingham or sommerset?? :dunno: im free any weekend of april. btw im 24

[mfspolo]

well only thing i know is...Oakland county has way better roads then anybody else...oakland mall is getting bad...but we had a meet there like 2-3 years ago...so yea...I cant make it early april...and i will leave here by mid May...so hopefully we can arrange something till then...Ill try to ask some of my friends (porsche/bmws/benz) to maybe come with us too...would be great to have a big ass meet in this dumbass state:D...keep the ideas coming ill going anywhere...hope the stupid rent a cops dont give us ****:lmao::(

[Will ZCPM3]

[V330xi]

Hey Id, def. be able ,meet up, we can meet around Birmingham or so, lets just come to a consensus for a date where we can get the most people

[dbtheo]

It's up to you guys up ther in Mich. I think here in Ohio we are looking at doing one the weekend of the 9th, some of you may want to come for that too. Prolly down in Columbus.

[Will ZCPM3]

where exactly is everyone from in mich. we need somewhere that is close to everyone. im at school right now in east lansing but my home is in rochester

[rayZ4]

i think sommerset is a good location for a first meet, (free parking, nice area, convenient location) it could also serve as a good set for a photoshoot...

ya, i'm in Cinci, but orig from Saginaw... someone drop a line to 325i vizon or whatever his SN is. lemme know when u guys set somethin up!

deff good spot for photoshoot, ray i have a few cool spots in rochester for taking pics. basically when im bored on the weekened at home i just drive around looking for them.

[bobbyg325i]

I think its a great idea Anerbe. i'm up in Ann Arbor at school but back in Grosse Pointe on weekends a lot... I think Sommerset sounds like the best plan to me, although somewhere in Birmingham would prob be tight as well. After seeing how enthusiastic those metro-d audi enthusiasts are at the GTG the other day (btw, I was the other oddball beemer owner there, selemon's friend (2004 S4)... Sayed told me you started up this thread here, so.... here I am). I know a few other people that'd definitely be down for the meet as well, my buddy has a loaded 330Ci on the way (10 days and counting) and his brother has a 4.4 X5 with a bunch of Dinan stuff on it, amoung others.
I'm summation, after that unneccessarily long post, sounds good, i'm in.

[mfspolo]

im still down for whatever....hope the weather gets warm soon!!! :P

-yo bill where in rochester are you? where are the cool spots??

[Will ZCPM3]

-yo bill where in rochester are you? where are the cool spots??


i used to live by adams rd. and tienken rd. right by adams high school. but we moved to gun rd. and collins rd. its a ways out.

im tryin to think of how to get to some of these spots, they are basically in down town rochester behind main street. theres like an industrial part where theres loading docks and what not. this summer im gonna try goin more towards birmingham though and looking at office building parking garages.

theres a really cool place depending what time of day it is becasue its underneath the bridge by the mercedes dealership. got to get there when theres enough light for pics tho.

[flagman5]

hey guys

i am in ann arbor

i can definitely meet up sometimes

mid april seems nice, got finals projects so dont know about end of april

and since i cant find any internships i gotta go home....i'll be leaving on 5/2 if i still cant find anything

[anerbe]

somerset should be nice, right on the very top floor of the parking structure. this is wide open. also, there are a couple of parking garages in b-ham. all have open tops. some may require you to get a ticket, but are free under 2 hours. a trip down woodward may be nice as well. i have found mostly sunday mornings are best. if not, possibly saturday earlier in the night (perhaps all meet at a bar afterwards :pimpin: )

i will not be available the next two weekends due to a work trip to Germany (company got me an Opel for the autobahn). I hope to visit munich and perhaps see the bmw center. i hope to also visit the location of the tuner Ruf...my family friend knows Aldous Ruf and is setting up a personal meeeting time. Hopefully i'll drive/ride in a Ruf Turbo or GT :drool:

If either of the next two weekends are better for most, i'm sure that future meetings will be possible. On April 10, a bunch of Audi guys are going Autox'ing at Gingerman (i think in Grand Rapids). It would be great if we could get some guys to track their BMW's and show them why we have the Ultimate Driving Machines.......i believe it is only 60-70 dollars for 3-4 hours driving, and there is instruction at the beginning, so it counts as drivers training.

So to make things short, i am free sunday, the 11th (sunday) in the morning or perhaps the 10th (saturday) at night. Lets see some other dates!

[mfspolo]

damn 10-11 is too early for me:cry::cry: maybe one week later?
and maybe we can meet up at somerset and if its full or busy maybe we can drive to another location...a drive would be cool too(but problem is idiotic people driving:banghead: )

[ELotz101]

I am down

[CYBER PETE]

Hey guys...looks like Michigan has quite the scene!

I'm organizing a caravan to Bimmerfest East 2004 on Thursday July 1rst. As of right now we have reps in Albany, Toronto, Clevaland, Rochester, Ottawa, and Buffalo. I'm going to be posting a thread soon with the reps from each city, the meet times, and the locations so that we can all cruise together.

I was hoping to expand this caravan to people west of Cleveland in Chicago, Detroit, and Indy. Ideally we'd like to have you guys meet us about 1 hour east of Cleveland near Erie, PA around 5pm on Thursday July 1rst.

All I need is one person from each major city who is definately going to go. We'll be staying in a hotel on Thursday night and Friday night. The show is two days and you can find the info here >> www.bimmerfesteast.com .

We are expecting around 40 bimmers from the cities that I listed above. If we're successfull in bringing in people from west of Cleveland we could have an insane amount of bimmers in this caravan.

Is anyone here planningon going to Bimmerfest East? And if so would any of you be willing to be teh rep for the Chicago area?

Think abou it and let me know. If you are interested then I would simply need to know a meeting place for where the Chicago people would meet. I would then add you as the rep for chicago and post your info along with the info to all the other cities. The more cities we have on the post the more people will come. IM me on AIM > cyberpete2k3, PM me here, or send me an e-mail at cyberpete@adelphia.net .

Pete

i.e. top of the parking structure in birmingham across from the townsend hotel - saturday night @ 8:00......or whatever works for people

[someday]

Thats cool Ernie. I will be working right across the street.

we definitely will. i think the one in end of april will probably be the important one. i just suggested this weekend cause it seems some people would like to get-together and chill. i still think the large meet should be later on in april.
