Hi

My name is Alan, i joined the club  just a couple of weeks ago and this is my first 
time as a car club member, although i have been tinkering and enjoying driving cars
since i was a teenager ( a very long time ago, remember FTO, GEN 5 Celica , 300ZX ETC), 
i have now found myself semi retired, no more pets, and kids are at Uni or  working , 
so thought i should now  join a club and as i recently acquired an E63 645CI and a
E64  645 AC Schnitzer, 
this seemed the right move to make, 
so now  look forward to meeting some fellow club members
at the south east region meets and national car shows.

(i will post a couple of pics once the sun comes out )

Cheers

Al

Hi all

I'm Sean, originally from Kent but now living in South Shields. 

I recently bought a G20 M340i in Tanzanite blue with sunroof, comfort plus and tech plus packs - so pretty much fully loaded which is how I generally buy nee cars if I can. 

Picked it up in September after a very long delivery as it got stuck in Mexico for some time! 

Previously I owned a 2019 AMG C43 and 3 Focus STs.

Good evening everyone. My name is Andy and I joined the club today. Sadly my beloved low mileage 3 Series GT 330i was stolen off my drive last week. I’ve had a few cars in my life but I’ve never been as emotionally attached as I was with this car. It was perfect for our family and we enjoyed many happy road trips with it. I cleaned and polished it every weekend and now it’s been taken away from me by I suspect individuals who are now ripping it apart to sell as parts. To that end, I now need to find a replacement. If anyone has or knows someone who is interested in selling the same car I would be very grateful to hear from them - thanks in advance. Keep safe and keep your car safe. Thanks for reading

Hi I'm Rhys...

Blast from the past... If you remember the old forum then you'll remember me.Thumbs Up
Got rid of the last BMW years ago (E36 318ti) in favour of a Volvo T5, then another T5, then a Merc, Focus, Saab 900i classic (my late father's), Jaguar XFs for 5 years until it was going to cost more to repair than it was worth and now back to a BMW... Just bought a 2005 E53 3.0D 

So, debating whether to join up or not. Probably just hang around for a while and see how it goes.

Big smile

Unfortunately no. It was a lovely car but at the time we just did not have the need and it made way for a SWB G Wagen of all cars.

Looks like a lovely cared for example. 

I had a few E93’s and would happily have another in a heartbeat. 

Do you plan on doing anything to it or simply use it and enjoy?

Evening all, 

My name is Michael, I was born across the channel, and somehow made my way into the Black Country where you will now find me enjoying my 2008 3.0 E92 325i. 

The car has only covered 40k miles from new, and is my 2nd ever vehicle and a BMW - the first being a 320Ci E46.

I'm a big fan of schwarz leather, wooden trim, and a sporty but a smooth ride. I can get extremely nerdy about the technical aspects of this car as well as its history, there is something about the E92's that just hits the spot for me! 

I hope to meet a lot of likeminded BMW owners and witness some amazing machinesHandshake

I’m from Birmingham hopefully will be at some meets this year, so will hopefully meet some of you.
I brought this as a drift car that had been abused and have cleaner her up so she’s a bit more respectable.
Of course there’s still plenty to be done.

Hi all,

I have just joined the club as I now own a couple of BMW’s for fun rather than as daily cars. I come from a long line of BMW’s since my late teens owning nine 3 series, two 7 series, three 5 series, one 8 series, and a 6 series GC which was a pre release press car with all the bells and whistles and spent 7 years at the Munich museum before I bought it from BMW UK.

Over the last year I have imported a couple of BMW’s from Japan since these cars have no rust on them and are generally very well looked after cars. The first was back in February 2022 which was a 1 owner 540i E39 with 19k miles on the clock. This car was a mint car and needed nothing doing other than a couple of suspension bushes which were duly sorted before the first MOT. The second car arrived last week (although bought in June!) and again is a one owner car and this time with 13k miles on the clock; a 735i E38. This one needs a little work to be carried out, namely the headliner as well as a bushing and some rubber seals on the exterior (all ordered in anticipation of next week’s MOT). 

Looking forward to catching up at some events sometime and will no doubt have questions to ask as I try my hand as some maintenance along the way.

Some photos for those who are interested.
