Reminder and maybe first time knowledge for many

Wish I could come! Sounds like a great event.

Caerus · 10-12-2022, 09:54 AM

Thanks TUD for reminder. I will be there Saturday afternoon.

How does one find out where the G87 will be on display? I'd love to take a look but not sure it is coming to my area.

To-date the only place it is going to be on display is for the 50th M anniversary event at the Performance Center in South Carolina. That may change as the car approaches production in December.

Dammit, I don't think I can squeeze this in on such short notice. (Short notice on my part, I'm the one that didn't pay attention to these announcements, and I did get them in email.)

JustinHEMI · 10-12-2022, 11:00 AM

I am, however, looking forward to all of your reports of seeing it in person.

T_U_D · 10-13-2022, 08:14 AM

Bump. FYI, if you are within 3-4 hours of Spartanburg County, more specifically Greer, South Carolina then you should consider making the trip for this event. More than likely this will be your only opportunity to see a G87 in person prior to taking delivery, especially for early deposit holders.

Caerus · 10-13-2022, 05:33 PM

Ditto bump. This M event will have many vintage and recent BMW cars on the track and on display as well as the new M2. The afternoon 12-5 pm event is only $35, food trucks will be there as well. Next door the ultimate driving museum with cars on display is part of admission. I am fortunate to be only 87 miles a way, so a very easy journey. It will be good to be back at the Performance Center after picking up my M240ix in April. Should be a great time.

ESB · 10-13-2022, 06:45 PM

That's so far away

Friendly FYI, but The BMW CCA foundation will be closed this weekend.

I have read conflicting information about that. First I read Friday and Monday, then I read that it would be open 2-5pm on Saturday during the M fest. I also heard that parking would be open at the foundation and a shuttle to the Performance Center. Oh well.

See Facebook post. Where I got my info from.

Caerus · 10-13-2022, 09:54 PM

Thanks TUD, that certainly answers the question; straight from the source. The previous information about Saturday 2-5pm either changed or was incorrect. The M fest ticket to include the museum on Friday and Monday is not much use to most people that are only attending the Saturday event. Now I question the parking and shuttle information. Any ways, Saturday will be a great event at the Performance Center.

LivingInSalt · 10-14-2022, 07:12 AM

Any guesses on how many/what colors will be on display? Maybe ZB, AW, and TR?
