Dont bring your POS non-BMW to the fest, its a disgrace.
Just kidding, my friend brought an audi last year without a problem. There will be plenty of non-bmw's there. So long as you are interested in the cars, go ahead and come.
So if we drive up from Burbank in a Sentra mocked up like an E30, ariving with a group of BMWs, we would not be allowed to park with the E30s? You wouldn't make an exception?
Well the person who would be bringing it has been the the past 5 or 6 years of the 'fest and has owned 5 Bimmers. A long time member of the community doesn't currently have a BMW but wants to come in the closest thing he has to one at the time... a sentra dressed as an e30. It will be great for some laughs at the least.
So you guys will let Porsches and Mercedes in, but a Nissan with a sense of humor isn't allowed? That is a nice double standard there. :rolleyes didnt' anyone look around last year at the amount of non BMWs on lot? IMO if you can't get there before the lot fills up, tough! You know what you are getting yourself into.
Vroomer: I know the cost of E30s has fallen, but has it seriously gone below the cost of a cardboard box and black spraypaint?
Now the coast of ownership, that's a totally different story. :rofl:
Story for you. The weekend before I purchased my Coupe, I went up to Fresno with a friend to check it out and a 1988 4-Door 325. Aside from it needing a new timing belt (a $100 part + $??? in labor for that job.. about $1000), it didn't need anything. He paid $1500 for it.
It's all about knowing where to look and who to turn to. Some deals aren't advertised.
Finally, the cardboard body kit was MY idea. and it is a Z4 mod. :rofl:
sorry for coming off as a little harsh, but you guys need to understand. Aren, my boyfriend with the Sentra, and myself, have been coming to bimmerfest for the past 5 years. He has always brought a BMW to the event. This year he doesn't have one but still wants to bring his little E30 want to be. He sold E30 #4 to buy the Sentra, and Vroomer: it is worth twice as much as your friend's E30. The car is not a hooptie, and I feel that some of you guys need to get off your BMW pedestal and realize that not every BMW enthusiast drives a BMW.
Having the Sentra parked with the E30s would be great for a laugh. We know this as a fact, we have crashed plenty of E30 meets with the car. If you can***8217;t have a sense of humor and allow this car in, fine. Just another example of Bimmerfest becoming less and less about the community and more and more about show cars.
Seriously, with less than 3 days to go and being swamped I have more important things to worry about than a psuedo-bimmer Nissan wanting to park on the lot. I'll tell you one thing, though, it would have been much nicer for you to contact us in private rather than dis the event in public in dramatic fashion.
This will be my 4th Bimmerfest, and I'd like to just say that I've always really liked the idea of "Bimmers only" for this event. I don't care if you have a Ferrari, a Mercedes SLR, or a pimped out Lambo Gallardo (bleh).... if you park in the main lot, you're taking a space reserved for the '95 328si who was turned away. It's BIMMERSFEST! We're celebrating a particular marque and the cameraderie and common interests that goes with a huge group of Bimmers all gathered in one place at one time. There are plenty of "Euro" meets and other car events where anybody can go... Bimmerfest is unique!
Where could I have found that information in order to simply contact you privately instead of causing drama? I looked and couldn't find it anywhere on the event page.
I don't think there was too much drama... it's seems that every year there is a discussion on the same topic in at least one thread anyway. BTW, I think that your particular car (if it were completed with the full effect of the kidney grills, etc.) would be very interesting at Bimmerfest... and probably wouldn't get turned away just for the fact that no one would notice at the gate with the cars pouring in. I certainly think you qualify as a BMW enthusiast! So, just FYI I wasn't directing my post at you...
Thanks Johnathan. Aren still wants to take the Sentra. I seriously didn't mean to start anything when I asked. I couldn't find an email, and I thought that the discussion forum for bimmerfest would be the best place to find the answer. I simply wanted an answer, not rolleyes or insults.
If the lot is full when I arrive and there are NON-BMWs on the lot/in the mix, I will turn right around and leave the Fest. You'll never have to worry about me tainting the Fest with any of my cars again.
Hopefully some of the E9s make it on to the lot.
The admission price of NON-BMWs should be TWICE the price of BMWs. Sponsors aren't there for NON-BMWs.
No. It'll save you $15 though...along with being less likely to be ticketed on the way up. :eeps:
