I can only go from morning till around 4. I have something to do after that.

[spunshi]

I haven't met any of you guys yet, and I missed the DDE install party at Chip's place :sad: . I hope to meet you all at the meet.

[Dr. Dreidel]

I am in Cambridge for the summer at Harvard. What are good attractions to see, places to eat, etc. Thanks for your help

[wust]

Anytime in July 20th is good for me. :thumbup:

[carguy84]

Ditto, anytime on the 20th is cool with me too.

Bentley is a good place to go.

Chip-

[meem]

btw ... in addition to having my car back, i should have the imola brembos on, and maybe the euro folding mirrors if the stars align just right ;)

yes, for the m3. you can find out more about the mirrors here:
http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=67360

as far as i know, no one has tried to retrofit the guts of a euro m3 mirror into the stock u.s. housings; that's what i'm going to try to do this week.

seeya!

[323iguy]

yippy meem! you get the car back! best news i have heard in awhile! thoughs brembos are gonna look sweet i cant wait to see that! so lets start talking about location. we know july 20th is the day but where we meeting?

[spunshi]

Well, Jordan's Furniture seems to be the location people keep on mentioning. I know that the last meet was close to that location. I need a new sofa as well, and it'd be perfect for me to stop by earlier and browse :D .

Anywhere is fine with me though, as long as it's not too far away from the hub. We can even shoot down the pike afterwards towards Boston and get a bite to eat.

By the way meem , why was your car MIA for a while?

Peace..... :)

[NH328DJ]

I'm down....I keep wanting to go to these meets, but never make it. I am Def gonna go to this one to finally see everyone's cars

don't get too excited yet ... car's back in the shop; seems there's something wrong with the driver's side control arm (surely related to the accident). anyway, they think it will only take a couple hours to fix once they have the parts, so i'm still hopeful that sunday will work out for me. stay tuned :eeps:

DANG :banghead: :banghead: theres always something they missed

[323iguy]

oh yea my car goes in friday for an oil change and to get the rear suspension checked out. hopefully i will have it back by sunday. i want the oil change done but if they are gonna have to replace suspension prts im just gonna get the car back for the meet so hopefully it works out so i can bring my car but if i cant im comin with chip!

[spunshi]

Well, it doesn't seem like a time's been set up yet for the meet. Can we finalize on 5pm on Sunday at Jordan's Furniture parking lot on top of the hill? It getting closer to Sunday the 20th. We have to get a meeting time set up & location.

Can we get a confirmation going as to who's OK with this?

First me. :thumbup: It's a go.

[Kamil]

Can someone give me some directions from 95/128?
I'm not originally from that area.
E36 welcome, right? :)

Click here for directions (www.jordansfurniture.com/customer_service/find_store_detail.asp?type=natick)

Can't speak for the rest but I still love the E36s and I would love to see your ride. Had one not too long ago (M3). It was nice to say the least ;) . But I think I lowered it too much cuz I bottomed out alot. Should've taken advantage of it and put titanium rods underneath to get the spark effect :D . Now how :ghey: would that have been? hehehe.

[speedracerE46Ci]

i'm down for the meet...jus gotta be before 4ish cuz i gotta work at 5 in beverly...like 45 miles away. jus keep me posted!

[wust]

So how about 3:00 at Jordon and we can do something afterwards :)

[spunshi]

3pm OK with me. :thumbup:

[ngl1145]

Can't go after 4:00! If you guys go after 4 you'll have to count me out. Can't we do it at 10:00?

[wust]

i see...ok. how about 11:00? because i think 10 is a bit earlier for some people (some people don't live that close) :)

[spunshi]

:werd:

I'd even say that between 1 to 2pm is perfect. Even if people have to leave for a 4pm thingy, they'll be able to hang for about an hour or so.

Even the almighty rests on Sundays :D . Any activity before noon should be banned......

[wust]

I agree. 1 to 2 pm is good. :)

[ngl1145]

1PM or so should be good with me... where?

[meem]

we've done morning meets before, and they don't work ... everyone always says "yeah yeah i'll be there" but then they're too hungover to show.

my vote is: 2pm at jordan's ... if folks wanna show early, that's cool too :thumbup:

Meem, sorry to hear about your car. How'd it happen man? Ahh, I'm sure I'll talk to you at the meet. :)

Yes, that would be quite :ghey: :tongue:

Uhmm, the most spectacular thing about my car might the fact that the odometer reads v. close to 200k miles. :yikes:

I'm 50/50 on the meet, have a birthday party in the north shore that night, that I forgot all about; girfriend's sister's.

Here's my car, so you know who I'm, NJ plates. :tongue:

I know this is early, but did any of you want to travel together and show our cars at ImportXpression on September 13th at the Bayside expo center? Thought it would be cool if a bunch of us stuck together. I any of you do.. let me know so I can register my e46. Thanks!

Wow, looks like my kinda place, but their stuff seems pricey, a roll bar like theirs from Autopower can be had for around $400 shipped. :confused:

Speaking of which... anyone here auto-crosses?
Its something I haven't done in a few years and I'm looking to start up again. Any places/clubs that do it around Boston area?

I do Autocross sometimes. it's very fun. BMW CCA club does a great job on it. here is the link to check it out. See you all this Sunday :)

http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/

[carguy84]

If my tires are close to the wear bars, will that be a problem during tech inspection?

Chip-

[wust]

I think they only check if the wheels are stable or not for that part of the car.

[ngl1145]

Hey.. I autocross as well. Wust I've seen you there at Devens with your steel blue e46. Looks nice. I've also seen you in Brighton :) Kinda funny how we recognize each other by our rides.

Anyways.. about the wear bars. The more worn your tire, (not bald) the better your car will respond and handle. If you have a relatively new tire with a lot of tread, you may have a bigger flex response in your tire slowing you down. People there race with slicks too.

Ditto on the hope that all 12 show up.

By the way, which part of the parking lot at Jordan's do you want to meet? Just a suggestion, but how about the farthest area to the right of the entrance, where the IMAX is located?

[spunshi]

Make that all 13 :D . Man the posts go up quickly.

[newenegue]

i might drop by as well.
is this the jordans at natick?

[spunshi]

That's the one :D .

[meem]

chip, i went and did the install tonight, just for you :-)

so, here's one for the books: i started with the passenger side just because it was easier to work on in the garage. finally i get the damned thing done (ask me about the hell involved in swapping the guts at the meet :eek: ), go to test it out, and both the mirrors go up! that's right, looks like the body shop screwed up when they replaced my driver's side mirror, and installed the euro one for me, free of charge! friggin awesome!

[carguy84]

wait.....for real???

[carguy84]

So now you're going to give me an even better deal on your old mirrors, right :)

[speedracerE46Ci]

hey guys...jus makin' sure...i know that jordan's is on route 9, but what's the exit number off of 128 south...i'll mos def be there...jus forget the exit number....thanks in advance!

[meem]

umm, you want to get a better deal on a brand new euro mirror than on a used u.s. mirror? nice try there chip ;)

seriously though, i gotta think about the whole thing, since as it stands i can return one of the euro mirrors i bought for a full refund.

exit 20, if memory serves. you'll want route 9 west of course. alternatively, you can take the exit for the mass pike and then take the natick exit off of the mass pike, which is usually quicker but a bit more complicated.

anyway, seeya there tomorrow! :thumbup:

[spunshi]

Check out my post on the second page. There's a link for directions from Jordan's.

[spunshi]

Meem , I may be interested in the extra one you got. I'll talk to you about it at the meet :D .

[speedracerE46Ci]

thanks you

[carguy84]

haha, meem, I was just playin ;)

If anyone wants to meet at my house before the meet and then caravan over, I would be more then willing to do something like that...

meem, I wanna see the mirrors NOW damnit!
Chip-

[speedracerE46Ci]

chip...i might be down for somethin' like that...how far from jordan's do you live?

[carguy84]

I live in Waltham, it takes about 20 minutes from my house, door to door. I'm one exit from the Pike, exit 26 off of 95/128. I can have pizza or something ready and for those that need to wash their car, I got hose/supplies if you come early enough :)

Chip-

[323iguy]

chip i will come

[speedracerE46Ci]

Noone with any decent I.C.E. installs tho :(
Beantown is slacking!@!

[speedracerE46Ci]

no one asked to see my ice!....jk....my ice is slackin' hardcore!

[spunshi]

Great turnout guys :D ! It was nice to finally see you all and put a face on all your handles. I'm working on the pics I took that day. I'll post them when I get the time this week.

For those of you that missed the cruisin' at the end of the meet, those pics will be up soon as well.

If anyone is interested in a similar drive, let's get one together. Doesn't have to be hours long. A simple rip through beantown :) .

Peace....... (Leonard)

[DarkXer878]

Meem tried to start a bmw meet picture thread..
I totaly forget which forum section it was in, but I suppose it would be easier to post there...This thread is getting big.


Also I'm down for cruising through boston anytime..

Hey, nice meeting you all.... very nice rides, I'm definetly envious... can't wait to get another E46 myself (unless I find something I like better, doubt it). :)
I had a party to go, so I had to skip out early.
