its free beating on a brand new car … i wont complain.

they had a few 650CiC’s but they got snagged before i could get in ☹  
he 750Li was tempting just to see what a boat feels like on the 90 going 100 MPH, but i resisted.

i agree about the bitching out though. it used to be nice.

doubtful. no new BMWs have the feel or personality of an E30.

eh, what the hell

Reservation 1: 11:00AM - Z4 3.0Si  
Reservation 2: 2:00PM - 530xiT

although I wish I could have chosen the cars in the opposite order. The wagon is gonna feel like a school bus after driving the z4. it should be fun either way :tup:

Dude… I went to this at 9:00am… didn’t sign up for shit. I drove basically everything I was able to. Couldn’t drive the 550 or the 650i because you had to be 25.

I drove a Z4 (110 with top down is sweet), 530, 530 wagon(not bad at all for a wagon), also was riding in a X5. By the time I was done with those there were more people there and I didn’t feel like waiting around instead of just jumping in another one like I was.

The best part is that no one came with you. So ya, beating on the Z4 in “manual” (automatic with manual option) was amazing. I’ve never had so much fun in a car.

:tup::tup: I’m doing it again next year for sure.

I drove up in a Jeep. I had a Sabres hat on. Was with a kid with a hat on too… don’t remember the color. Were you the one that did 120 in 650Ci and was telling me about it from of the lady that worked there?
