Bimmer Invasion Orlando

'Cane · 02-18-2023, 03:20 PM

Just wanted to make a little write up of the event. I wasn’t able to attend last year because my G82 was stuck in QC Purgatory, but my friend said it was awesome so I was really looking forward. Unfortunately for him, he had an accident in his (my old) Imola F80, so he was stuck riding with me for the day.

Not really knowing what to expect, and thinking they weren’t opening the gates until 10am, we had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, but when I saw Vishal50028 had already gone in and they put him up front, we headed over. The guy saw us pull in, and he also directed us to park in front, so it was cool to have a prime spot while we walked around.

I can only say one thing, insane. I’ve never been to a meet this large (Cars & Coffee WPB gets big, but not this big), especially with one that was 99% BMW (Quite a few Supras in attendance). A lot of really cool people, tons of great vendors, and the weather was absolutely spectacular. I’ll upload some pics, if anyone was there and has more, feel free to post up.

And I know there were some forum members in the pics, sorry in advance if I don’t tag you.

Looks awesome. Feel like I need a stuffed animal to match my color now.

'Cane · 02-18-2023, 03:27 PM

Also, the amount of G8X cars in attendance, both stock and modified, was amazing. Really cool to see what people are doing with the platform.

This thread is a clear evidence that there is no such thing as too many awesome BMWs per square mile. Nice!
