Bimmerfest '09. Where were you guys?

Shameful.

Hundreds upon hundreds of BMW's. I think I saw maybe 10 1'ers. And about half of them were used by vendors to showcase various aftermarket products- the rest were attendees who drove out to the event (nice job guys! Way to represent!)

Overall, it was a great time. Lots of old 2002's and a bazillion M3's. I did meet the guys who make the SSTT and also Terry from the Juice Box crew. I begged Vorsteiner to give us a front lip for our 1 series. Saw about 20 jackasses get pulled over by the CHP. Fun stuff!

But alas... overall the 1'er presence was very underwhelming. What's your excuse?

I was there, parked near the East dirt auxillary exit on the row near the main road. AW, Coral Red with M Package and Rusnak plates. I also expected to see a few more 1'ers, but, it is a fairly low volume car for BMW. In a way that's good and keeps ownership a bit exclusive, particularly versus a model like the E46 M3. Dime a dozen.

to my first Bimmerfest!

Great show, but you're right.... not nearly enough 1er there.

I was there too. Was a busy day and I didn't sleep for 2 days. Forgot to take pictures. Anyone got any of our car?

Scott, saw you pulled over by the cops. I stopped going 90 MPH with the trailer after that. 60MPH crawl.

It's a total BS ticket (I actually think he got us confused with a pair of red and silver M3s that passed us in the left lane). I may actually fight it. Long story, but appears he didn't decide I was speeding and come up with a number (no radar or lidar) until he saw that I didn't have a front plate.
