Bimmerfest was great. I have never seen that many BMW's together. The drive was well over 300 cars strong. We backed up the 101 fwy. getting off for Hwy 154. 2 6er's got rolled for doing over a buck on the freeway. I got some pictures that I will post as soon as I get a chance.

I also got to meet Mendi3 another TI forum member. So at least I was not the
only one.

The only thing I could say is: Awesome!

It was great meeting you Chad. I love your ride. The DASC you have it's impresive!

I won a set of new TOYO tires! What else can I ask for? Not sure what the final count was but I've heard close to 300 cars.

That was me. I wasn't sure if you saw me. I saw another nice silver one when we took off but I was not able to talk to him. You have a nice ride.

ZeroG · 04-25-2005, 06:47 PM

Mendi3 awesome HIDS... I dig the color. I have 4300K ones on mine and they don't look like yours. Do you have HID fogs as well?

-Chad

Mendi3 · 04-25-2005, 07:59 PM

Hey Chad,

Yes, I have the headlights and the fog lights HID set up with 5000K. Very happy with them. Lots of compliments on them.

Was it hard to get the D2S bulbs in the H1 Fog light? I was told that the install is kind of difficult. Did you get them from umnitza?

Haha, I did see you. I was in my car yelling "YEAH TI!!!!!" but my windows were closed. When i opened them you were gone already haha.
Thanks for the complement

Yours is cool too.
I also saw that silver one, I've met that guy before but i didn't see him on Saturday.

Mendi3 · 04-25-2005, 08:53 PM

It's not that bad. You have to drill a hole into the Fog light housing (side)and then slide the bulb. I saw Matt from Umnitza do it. I'm about 30 minutes from him so it was easier for me to take to him, but now I know how to do it.

Mendi3 · 04-25-2005, 09:27 PM

lkwd318ti,

I was trying to call your attention. I'm glad you saw me. Here is the picture of that silver ti.

Diego(SP?),

I hopt I got one right. Just wanted to throw you a congrats for the tires. If I recall correctly you got the Yokohama's.

I bet that made the trip all the way down to SB worth while.

Did you go party on State St? Or did you just learn how crappy it is to drive on it.

-Chad

Mendi3 · 04-26-2005, 12:16 AM

Chad,

Yeah man, I got a set of Toyo Tires (Proxes). I have the following choices: T1-S, RA-1 or 4. I have to decide which model. Any suggestions?

The cool thing is that I can choose any size up to 18". Great prize! I won't be needing tires for another 6 months, but the voucher is good for a year. Maybe I'll get the new set right before the next bimmerfest.

I did go party for a little bit but you are right, it was crappy driving on State St.

Hey Chris, don't feel bad. You can still look at pictures from the bimmerfest. Here is a good link.
