I was invited to see the "official debut" the new M3 and 135i. There will be test driving, food, drinks. I am definitely looking forward to driving the 135i and the M3 if I can. I just need to show my license and proof of insurance. All I need to do now is whip out the suit and put on a good smile!! Anyone else been invited to Stevens Creek BMW?

Haha, thats down the street from me.

I just went to the official M3 and 135i test drive event and it was great the only bad side was I was half the age of most people there I am only 21. It was funny because alot of the people at the event were saying that the 1 series was sometimes more fun to drive than the M3. I am waiting for my 135i to come in this month and let me tell you the M3 is a beast in its own but I am not sure if I would like it for every day driving. Tell me how you like it. I am located in Edmonton, Alberta Canada buy the way.

Heinzftw · 05-12-2008, 02:04 AM

I will be there strictly for fun. But, I don't know what to roll up in!! There's the 72 Volvo coupe or my honda accord... Maybe I can borrow my teachers viper again?

WhiteOne · 05-12-2008, 11:09 AM

I test drove the X6. I was surpised how well a 2.5 ton vehicle ran with our N54 for power. Wierd vehicle though.
The only vehicles in BMW's entire lineup I like are the M3 and 135i.
Everything else thay make seems wierd to me. Strange consoles and joystick shifters. Maybe I'm just getting old.....YOMV

I got the same invite from East Bay........however, mine says "Appointments will be taken" rather than test drives.

nordique14 · 05-12-2008, 01:42 PM

When is the event at SCBMW? My car is supposed to be in sometime this week. I want o make sure it does not become part of the test drive.

ROFL.

Now wouldn't that be slightly bothersome if it was.

Heinzftw · 05-26-2008, 05:23 PM

Just got back from the event at Stevens Creek BMW. Boy was it fun and extremely interesting! Took a few pictures. Unfortunately the SLR camera had a dead battery. Took lots of 2 megapixel shots from the camera phone. Along with a 4 megapixel Cybershot. Will post pics as soon as possible!!

And hopefully in that order :smile: Wouldn't want to see the toys wrapped around any nearby trees at 150Mph

Heinzftw · 05-27-2008, 12:12 AM

Alright so these were all taken from the Motorola Z6M 2MP camera phone. So don't be expecting much. I did forget to take pics of the AMAZING catering they had going. I enjoyed ribs, chicken (baked or grilled), garlic bread, fruit, sausages, creme puffs, cookies, and even 31 Flavors Baskin Robins was there!

There were around 20+ 1 series there. Along with that a truck came in carrying in another 9!! I was sad to see soo many verts though.. Price tags were around 50k just for a vert.

Will have more higher res photos up within a day or so. Enjoy! :thumbup:

Being a former computer builder I know my way around most things. My machine is running at a very slight O/C of .1ghz on each core bringing the machine to 10ghz. By any means I didn't mean to put my computer in the shot. I just set the card there. Sorry!
