Some pics from Bimmerfest 2005
 

Literally 100's of BMWs here.....Everything from Classic BMWs to "Pimp My BMWs" here......Lots of vendors, Yokohama with their new ADVAN tires. Brembo, Evosport, B&M, Dinan, Turner motorsports, Umnitza (x5Monkey's favorite), Pelican Parts, etc. Bill Auberlin was there to talk and got a great poster with his sig on it. I'm sure you can read all about it on BF forum.

BTW, I met up with Jon Shafer again! Again, a classy guy. :thumbup: He says "HI!" to everyone here. :) Anyhow, as always, he wanted me to tell you guys that you are always welcome at Bimmerfest and don't let a few rowdy guys keep the X5 guys away. He commented that our X5 group was one of the more entertaining group and was sorry that many of us left. Nevertheless, as Jeff and Kevin know, Jon is a great guy and I applaud him for this HUGELY successful Bimmerfest. :D

Anyhow, lot's of people and lot's BMW, but only 1 really pimped up X5 this year. Oh well, there is always next year.

Here are the Yoko's ADVAN tires for the X5!

More views of the Yoko ADVAN treads and the Brembo stand!

A 330i with a M3 side grill and X5 3.0i badge! :dunno:

Doesn't that 645Ci look like a 911 with the trunk open?

And the X3 with snazzy add-ons.

More X3 pics with aluminum running boards

A sharp looking black Z8! Now where has ArtZ8 been?

M5 with Dinan Supercharger.

Evosport's own supercharger system for the E46 M3.

Umnitza's stand (Matt is behind that crowd of people).

DDE rings from Umnitza

Todd from Phoenix drove his ESS Supercharged 330i performance package from SuperGreg's neighborhood. SG, you could have caravan with him, but then it would push you to your first oil service! :bustingup

AC Schnitzer's toothy smiling 645Ci drop top..... :scared:

:zoom: Okay, finally a X5-related picture!

X5 4.4i with AFE intake. The hood forms the "top" of the airbox. It has solid plastic heat shield. Looks similar to the Dinan air-intake. There is one available for the 3.0i.

Also, this 4.4i has 20" HRE wheels (same front/rear size tires as the 4.6/4.8 is)

X5 with 20" HRE wheels

PNG can add scissors door to his Boxster! :confused:

A bunch of 3-series with DDEs

Race car guys are the celebrity here!

You can see Team Dinan in the blues....

Bill Auberlin was there signing posters!! Great guy to shoot the breeze with re: racing etc. :thumbup:

Bill Auberlin's "Daily Driver!"

He was there on behalf of Stop Tech and Turner motorsports.

This BMW owner really likes the color BLUE!

Team Dinan's race car. I wonder which Dinan S package it has? :dunno:

Also, great place to mount a video cam! :wow:

Classic BMWs in one lot! Wow, before iDrive, xDrive, DSC, ABS, CBC, PDC, DSP, SMG, NAV, etc. :bow:

Also, a Seven butt-lift :rolleyes:

So what do you do get when you cross a S54 engine in a 3-series wagon? A M3-Touring!! :wow:

A 2005 Interlogos Blue M3 with ZCP (Competition Package). The ZCP wheels in the U.S. are virtually the same as the Euro's M3 CSL wheels. The ZCP wheels are a tad narrower for the front and I'm sure the offset is a little different. Not sure if these would fit as well as SteveD's CSL wheels on the X5 :dunno:

Also, better watch out for the BMW Polizei!

Also, a classic E30 M3....wow doesn't that bring back memories PNG? :boogie:

E30 M3 with Evo3 stuff in it.

I have over 100 more pics to share....but you should get the gist that Bimmerfest was very well attended this year! Good night!

Thanks bro, the pics are great!

The owner of the white X5 posts on E46 and Bimmerfest, We should tell him to join if he hasn't already. :)

Post #8

Excellent pics Doc! It looks like you had a fun time.

Thanks for sharing the pics... wish I could've been there.

The guy on the right is Memo Gidley. He is a kart racing champ and raced a champ car for a season. I was lucky enough to race with him at a couple make-a-wish karting events (one he was on my team) and he is a really cool guy.

That's nice, but who are the two on the left and the one second from the right? :D

The other guy was Michael McDowell. Nice guys.

Oops, I didn't even notice there were guys in the pic :confused:

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

Juan
