The 8 Series Parking Lot Pic Thread!!

Tenac · 11-20-2022, 07:23 PM

So a few of us BMW guys here in the West Valley been working on getting a cars a coffee going. I say today we finally got it going well!!!! Here are some pics of it and well I only got one of my M8 not a great shot.....

We are also planning our next one and a half day drive. We will have professional car photographers and video guys there as well for it. So far looks like our next line up might be larger than this one with a few more exotics and about handful more BMW's.... It was a blast so we are hoping for this to become a full blown meetup every month.

Looks like a fantastic morning. Love the tag on the Lambo....
I go a similar group here. it's fun and not an all day event (maybe 2 hours). Haven't done a drive yet. But that sounds like something fun too!

Consistenly horrible at parking--- just stop, get out and walk away with a soft glance back...

Parked in the loading dock - took a pic.

SmokieRiver · 11-23-2022, 03:52 PM

Safely away from possible runaway shopping carts at Home Depot.

bloozemanAZ · 11-23-2022, 09:39 PM

Late night fuel run to get ready for tomorrow's Turkey Day dinner with friends up north. Quality time with friends a plus, turkey dinner who cares, but 2 hour drive in the M850i on some twisty turns and mountain climbs/decents the total win!

Cookae · 11-24-2022, 06:21 AM

Continuing the theme of not so great parking took a few photos looking all menacing with the new splitter and diffuser.

MrRX34 · 11-24-2022, 05:19 PM

Only if parking were always this easy

Verrado out in Buckeye on mainstream. I myself live in Goodyear so not a far drive for me. You are more than welcome to come.

We are meeting again on the 27th at 7am till 9am ish... If you wanna stop by, also a half day cruise on the 12/4 start at 7am off by 8am. I know it's early but we have everyone vote and seems to be the best time for people to be out and be back home for the day.

Although a lowly M850i I'm game for the meetup. Send me the details in a PM and hopefully I can make it work in my schedule.

These cars are AWD. You just need some winter tires and you can throw a plow on the front. Nice winter side business.

Not really - but both Ametrin Metallic.
I have to admit this X6 50iM looks pretty cool, but have heard others refer it to a Pontiac Aztec!

I like the looks of the X4 and X6. I can see where people could see some Aztec in it, but they are far better looking cars. They look more sporty compared to the X3 and 5. I might consider an X4 whenever I finally sell my X3 (that I've only had for 4 months

)
