WTF, you too were there?

Remember the hornet and the blond? Yeah, me. next time come and tell me you are one of us bimmer freaks. I'll just kill your car with one look.

What type of driving activities did they have for the M cars?

trippparks · 09-23-2014, 02:00 AM

The M Cars were used for Autocross. The 6's and 7's were used for lead/follow.

GregW / Oregon · 09-23-2014, 08:20 AM

Going today - was hoping for M3 & 4 on the track.

I stopped by PIR yesterday and the cars were sitting in the parking lot. There was one Orange M4 and one YMB M3. The outside front tires were worn down indicating someone was driving them hard. Autocross with the M cars would be good. That is worth the visit.

Just got back. Laps in the big 6 & 7 (640i, 650i, 650iGC, 740iL 750i 760i, 740iD) cars was fun, but autocross in the Ms was better (M3, M4, M5, M6 Convertible, M6 GC)! Pics later.

Hum, we didn't get to drive an M5. But the M6s are so big, after the event I would never buy one. I instantly got 15 years older sitting in those boats

Here are my (very few) pics: http://greg-w.smugmug.com/BMW-track-day-92314/n-K68Nh/. M5 was Frozen Blue.

Was at the event. I was a bit underwhelmed by the M4, which kinda sucks because my M4 has been sitting at the dealership for some time awaiting pickup. Absolutely loved the M5 though.

M4 in MG available starting today!

We both were!

I get the power and the delivery of it, but I didn't want to kick it to life like I do with Peter every time.

Each to his own. M5, especially for autocross, is too big, IMO.

LOL I connected the dots and kinda figured out who you were, but I'm shy and didn't want to make an ass out of myself. Next time though....

Jealous future sessions got to drive the M5!

Trust me, making an ass out of yourself is the way to go, you'll always have a person to laugh at near! Haha, yeah, it was a busy day, but I do love most of the local M/ car crew. Idiots are rarer than expected
