8th Annual M-Car Day @ Griot's Garage, Sept. 7, 2014

M-Car Day
Sunday, September 7
10:30 AM – 2:00 PM
Griot’s Garage, Tacoma, WA

Last year’s M-Car Day was a lot of fun, so we’re doing it again! M Car Day is the one and only day in the year here in the PNW when M Cars owners get together to celebrate and appreciate all of the wonderful BMW M Cars that have thrilled us over the years.

Please mark Sunday, September 7 for a very special day of camaraderie to celebrate all things rated M. Our hosts will be Griot’s Garage at their new flagship facility in Tacoma. Last year saw 200+ M Cars in attendance! This will be the 8th Annual M-Car Day to celebrate all of the wonderful BMW M Cars that have thrilled us over the years.

This event is FREE to attend!

Thanks to our sponsors: BMW Northwest, Griot's Garage and Haury's Lake City Collision, 425 Motorsports and SouthLake Europeans

Please plan to roll in between 10:30 AM – 11:00 AM so we can direct you to the appropriate section to park your M car. We’ll park the M-cars by E chassis type, so owners can compare notes on common maintenance issues and modifications. We’ll also have a section for regular chassis that have had M Power engine transplants. So S52 E30s and S14 2002s are welcome!

Here is a rough agenda for the day:

Griot’s Garage will provide each M Car owner in attendance with a free Car Care Product sample at registration. There will also be discounts in the store, so bring your shopping list.
Around 11:00 AM a Griot’s Garage car care specialist will pick a lucky car from the attendees for a car care demo in their garage.
We’ll have a food vendor on site for lunch. Bring cash and your appetite, yum!
After lunch, we’ll have the always popular raffle for some great prizes!

And for the second year in a row, we'll have a very special commemorative shirt with a unique design for the event. Really cool shirt again this year. Last year, the shirts sold out in about an hour so we printed a few more this year. Still come out early if you want to get one. Price is still a screaming deal at $15.

See you there!
Nicolas

M Car Day doesn't have a feature car. All M Cars are featured :-)

...except it does. Center parking is reserved for a specific model each year

Except it doesn't. Ask me how I know... I'm the co-chair for the event ;-)

We try to rotate each year which cars (typically a couple of different chassis) park on the lawn to mix things up. It's also based on expected turnout for each chassis, i.e. there are too many E46 and E36 to be in the lawn.

Hope to see you out there.

Maybe I will try and make it out. Can't bring my car unless it's on a trailer though.

I'm sure Mason is going. If I still had an M I'd be going. It was great last year.

Hey!

Thanks French Dude for putting this together, and I for one had fun. Also, I'm sorry for those E9x blokes who had to deal with me, I just truly love that generation way more than the one I drive. Pics can be found from the F8x side, and I'll post mine up as soon as I have the time.

Thanks,

Lups

Yep had a good time as well. Cool event.

I was the annoying blond who kept drooling on other people's cars! Peter (I like my cars fast and with stupid as hell names) was in the garages doors with the rest of the F8x fancy boys.

It was indeed a really good gathering, and all the fun was in good spirits, except when the one idiot offered me a ride on his back seat.

There are the pics from our line up, and from a round the others. I lack the skills to post mine again, and I do admit that as a photographer my skills are not something to admire ever.

Sorry bout that.

nah, it's more like I should be sorry. I go into full eminem mode and later bang my head to a wall thinking maybe just killing idiots would be kinder.

The E9x lineup was beautiful. I can not believe anyone with an option of buying those would go soft and get what I have. Also, I was really happy to see most of them were manuals. Maybe there is hope for this country too.

1MOREMOD · 09-08-2014, 10:40 AM

i was kidding. what do you have? bashing e46?

FrenchBoy · 09-08-2014, 11:51 AM

Thanks guys for coming out. It was a great event and awesome turnout. Glad you had a good time as well.

And 1MOREMOD, thanks again for trailering you car to the event. I think it was well worth it and people really enjoyed your car.

See you soon at the track!
