M Car Day at Griot's Garage, Sunday August 19, 2012

[FrenchBoy]

There was only one 1M Coupe last year. We're hoping for more this year. Please reply here if you think you can make it so I have an idea of how big the 1M section should be.

Thanks,

In what has now become a tradition, August is the month of the BMWCCA M-Car Day at Griot’s Garage. This year, it’ll be on Sunday August 19th and the wonderful folks at Griot’s Garage will once again be our hosts. Their new facility is perfect for such an event as it provides ample space to park and display our beautiful M Cars. In addition their flagship store is worth the trip alone.

M Car Day is the one and only day in the year when M Cars owners get together to celebrate and appreciate all of the wonderful BMW M Cars that have thrilled us over the years. Last year, we had 175 cars. About every M Car type ever produced was present: From the original M1 to the recently introduced 1M Coupe, along with some special and unique M Cars. Let’s try to break the record this year. Bring your M Car and park alongside fellow members to compare notes on modifications and common maintenance items. M Car day is typically one of the largest events at Griot’s Garage. Let’s make it THE largest!

Please plan to roll in between 10:30 and 11 am so we can direct you to the appropriate section to park your car. Like years past, we’ll park M cars by chassis type. We’ll also have a section for regular chassis that have had M Power engine transplants.

Here is a rough agenda for the day:

• Griot’s Garage will provide each M Car owner in attendance with a free Car Care Product sample at registration. There will also be special discounts in their on-site store, so bring your shopping list.
• Around 11 am, Griot’s Garage car care specialists will pick a lucky car from the attendees for a car care demo in their garage.
• Haury’s Lake City Collision will have their Ultimate Loaner Car (2011 M3) on hand for you to take for a test drive around the neighborhood.
• We’re mixing up the food format this year: We will have BUNS (gourmet natural burgers) and Las Margaritas Mexican Cuisine on site to provide delicious for-pay lunch options.
• So bring a few bucks if you’d like to eat.
• After lunch, we’ll have the always-popular raffle for some great prizes to win. And much more!

You do not have to be a BMWCCA member to attend. The event is free to attend and there’s no need to RSVP. Just come out, bring your M Car and join the fun. Bimmerpost members without an M Car are of course welcome to attend the event and enjoy the day.

The event typically runs until 2pm.

Raffle items are offered by our generous sponsors: Griot’s Garage, Broad Strokes Associates, Haury’s Lake City Collision & Cohesive Garage

I am extremely interested, just need to check my schedule. I'll post back later in the week with a confirmation.

[MechE]

I will be there.

[Dee Pee]

Oh dang. I will be out of town. However, I use Groits products on all of my cars because they're fantastic.

[FrenchBoy]

Exciting news about your chances to win some of the awesome raffle items! Like years past, each person that comes to the registration booth in the morning gets a free raffle ticket.

However, BMWCCA members will get 2 tickets whereas non-members will only get 1! YEAH!

Perfect occasion to become a member!

[FrenchBoy]

Count down starts! 2 more weeks!

BTW, there will be an M3 Track Taxi ride at Pacific Raceways to win at the raffle. Cool stuff!

[PunjabiM3]

If I were still in Seattle I would not miss it that's for sure! Has been 2+ years since I moved from there...

[ZCP M3]

Damn, I want to go to that!

[andrews]

I will be there too!

[Amnizu]

Okay I'm confirmed attending.

[FrenchBoy]

How many 1M's do we think we'll have?

So far, I am counting at least 4 (including Max who told me he was coming). I am trying to figure out where to put you guys and I may have a cool spot.

[Hobbe]

A bit too far away for me, but good luck with the event

[Amnizu]

It was nice meeting three other 1M owners there and the Griot's faciltiy is pretty freaking awesome.

Also, I won some free tire cleaner in the raffle! Cannot complain about that!

[FrenchBoy]

Glad you had a good time!
