Hey everyone - my car's almost (relatively speaking) done with production and should be coming home soon - was thinking it would be great to have a little thread to bring together the 1M'ers who are interested so we can schedule track days etc. etc. or just talk about our 1M's and vent out our overflowing love for our cars lol.

Aleks from Alekshop in Fremont where I'm located has already mentioned organizing a little get-together with people interested for a run at Laguna Seca *droooooool*

EDIT: Tuned 135 owners and other M owners are welcome to PM me as well - but if we pick on you that's your fault (j/k....kinda :-p)

Also, this is first and foremost a 1M owners "club" for the bay area / NorCal region. There will inevitably be meets exclusive to 1M's, but depending on the general interest, I will try to make as many open meets as possible.

IF INTERESTED, PLEASE PM ME THE FOLLOWING DETAILS - IF YOU DO NOT PM ME WITH THE BELOW MENTIONED DETAILS, YOU WILL NOT BE ADDED TO THE LIST (effective 7/20/2011) sorry - I'm busy as is and it helps to read PM's rather than sift through every single new post.

Required information: Color of 1M, Preferred contact info (not your 1addicts/bimmerpost message system), Actual Name, Location, Whether you're interested in Track events or just "normal" driving events

Preferred and Helpful Information: Occupation, Hobbies, Interests, Age. THE MORE INFORMATION THE EASIER IT IS TO ORGANIZE THE OPTIMAL GROUPINGS OF PEOPLE AND MOST ENJOYABLE EVENTS

FOR NON 1M'ERS, MODEL, MODEL YEAR, MODIFICATIONS LIST, AND COLOR REQUIRED IN ADDITION

LIST AS OF 7/20/2011 (I'm in Korea at the moment so that would be 13 hours ahead of EST):

woojae2001 (1M VO delivered by 8/2011)
dsharpie (1M VO)
mrk (1M VO)
trad (1M AW)
alekshop (1M AW)
KELLZIR (Tuned 135i) ***NEWLY ADDED***
JAYPARRY (Tuned 135i BLACK) ***NEWLY ADDED***
ilikebmxbikes (Tuned 135i)
1swift1 (Tentative 1M)

Look forward to meeting everyone! YAYYYYY haha

Congrats! I'm moving to CA the 22nd of July but my car won't get to me probably until the end of August :-( wanna give me a ride and tour of my future baby? lol (semi-kinda-half-joking)

Also I see you're in Palo Alto - not an engineer by any chance, are you?

Starting my life from scratch having lived over in the east coast (Boston) with only a handful of friends here in NorCal - look forward to making some new friends and acquaintances

Send me a PM if you wanna swap contact info - at minimum Aleks, you and I make a trio - good enough for me!

If I get a car...

I'll absolutely be up for group meetings, etc. If my allocation ever comes (September as of now). EuroSunday is a great way to meet other car fanatics, as well.

Add me to the list.

I just took the temporary NY tags off and replaced them with CA plates. My 1M was being chased and photographed by some dealer-plated 3-series on 101 the other week while I was stuck in traffic heading back up to the city. I haven't seen anyone else out-and-about driving a 1M.

Are you the black 1M or the White 1M? I've seen only one 1M around SF and it was black. The only other i know of locally is a white one already dropped on black wheels.

I'll gladly join you guys ... once I eventually get the darn car! ): (still a few months to wait I'm told, and still not absolutely certain I will get one...).

They are exceedingly rare here in the Bay Area, I'm yet to see one in the street/on the road... and I'm looking!

When mine does arrive next week, I'll add a pic in this thread. It is going to be VO - so it sounds like no one else on the boards has a VO in Nor Cal yet? it would be cool to get an AW, BSM and VO all in one place for the first meet.

Aleks, I think you and I will get along very well lmao - Drive, Sushi, GT - perfect. Should I bring my Logitech G25 Racing Wheel?

Also, could you PM me the details for the Targa event? I'll send out e-mails to everyone on my list and see who's interested. ALSO PEOPLE WHO HAVE YET TO SEND ME PREFERRED CONTACT INFO DO SO NOW BEFORE YOU ARE EXCLUDED FROM ANY UPCOMING MEETS (either e-mail or phone or both)

I'm down to meet up to do a track day if I ever get my allocation. I'm suppose to get my car in September. But, I still have not received anything from BMW stating that my order has been processed.

Where did everyone buy their cars/allocations?

I've got a VO that I picked up in NY a couple of weeks ago. I gave up waiting for my third-place slot to get an allocation number from the dealer in San Mateo and stumbled across a car that was in a dealer's inventory for a day or two.

Hey everyone - so it looks like (so far) there are six "official" members, five 1M's and one tuned 135. The others are welcome to join as well once they receive their cars, as it's probably a little pointless to go to a 1M track day or such without a car - but if you wish to join PM me - I still haven't gotten PM's from all people who said they're interested.

mrk, alekshop, and ilikebmxbikes - you three need to PM me with contact info along with the other info I mentioned (if you want).

I'll be sending out e-mail (or texts) soon once I'm in CA (arrive tomorrow) to figure out people's schedules and what they're interested in doing. Most likely, I'll talk to Aleks first about meeting at his shop and we can do the whole drive, sushi, GT party.
