I have seen what looks like a black M3 running around the north side of Madison recently. Is that you?

I have a Dravit Grey that I get back from detailing next week.

My son and I would love to drive to a M meet somewhere.

Let's do an early lunch. I have to drive downtown to pick up some things from Cermak. We could try taking some pictures with the bridge in the back if you like? Otherwise, we can meet at Kopps or somewhere else. Maybe meet early and go for a short drive? Not often one sees not one but two + G8Xs around here..

How about Kopps at 11? We can park next to each other and have a mini car show. Maybe go for a short drive after if there is time.

That’s very nice, but I literally have no car. Just sold my WRX and am using my wife’s car and son’s car when I absolutely need to get somewhere.

Next weekend I will be ready to rock n roll!

You are shitting me! Road America plates? How did I miss that? I didn’t know they existed! Awesome!

And we can grow this meet by 50% starting next weekend! My son works Sat and Sun, would anyone be up for a Friday afternoon or early evening meet?

Get on that plate request. I may be able to meet Friday afternoon / evening - depending on what the wife says...

I should be good for next Friday actually, for a couple hours in the late afternoon, hopefully more guys can join!

Let me get into the week and see how things are going at work, and talk to my son. Then I can confirm. But I'd bet he would love to drive over to Milwaukee.

MMM.PWR · 08-07-2022, 11:10 PM

I forgot I have to drop off the car at CMG on Friday to get my wheels ceramic coated (if they didn't forget!). Would Thursday work?

No, we are going to see Hamilton Thursday night — and are gonna take the M3. Although in Madison the Volvo is probably the more appropriate ride.

No rush. We will be cruising locally and are going down to Chicago Sunday.

When I get it Tuesday night I have several things to do. Before I do anything I want to install the Tommy Garage mudflaps. Then throw in WeatherTech floor mats (this will be my DD) and recode the active sound and stereo profile.

Dang! Sorry I wasn't able to make it! My M4 is out of commission for a few weeks. But I did just get my Road America plates so I should fit right in

It's quite possible that's me. I have an M4, which can look almost black in certain lighting conditions. I'm usually on the north side although I've also been at the Madison cars and coffee a few times.

It looks like for the next meet-up, we'll have both the colors and the greys covered

Can’t believe I would mix up an M3 and M4. But I don’t think there are a lot of them around Madison.

I look forward to meeting you all.

And if anyone is getting winter tires I would love for some input. I have to start ordering wheels and tires soon.

Always fun starting to mod the car! I really enjoyed Hamilton, saw it in Chicago and Milwaukee.

A couple of us have the BMW winter setup of the 829M wheels with the Alpin 5 tires. I haven't used mine yet as my car arrived in March and I held off. Geektechlive used his though. You could always go a different route, but I was rushing and options were limited.

When's the next meet-up? I also don't mind driving up (I mean, left) to Madison.

I have the Michelins and they performed great but we didn’t have any big blizzards up here in Milwaukee area last winter. I think any winter snow tire will work fine. I went with the winter set up Bmw offers because wheel choices were very limited last year. I think they look good and I didn’t have to worry about fitment, etc.

8262S · 08-08-2022, 08:47 PM

Yeah, I need snow tires that get through anything. I have to make a decision and get something ordered.

8262S · 08-09-2022, 05:46 PM

I bring it home tomorrow morning.
