Thanks to all that showed, we had some inclement weather scare off a few guys, but we had good turn out in what turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. I have a few pics, but the thread is mostly dedicated to the complilation video being put together by Migs (Mike). It should be something to see. It was nice seeing & meeting you all today & big props to Troy (xtc4us) for making the trip up from Houston. :beer:

I glad to see that you guys/gals had fun. Sorry I couldnt make it. I left church at 1:30. Since the sun decided to make an unexpected appearance I decided to wash/wax/polish my car.

I will see you guys next time.

If so can you post some more pics of the front as I am contemplating not painting mine either.

Yeah this meet was much better then the last one. All I have to say is, you guys drive crazy!!! :eek: Today was a good day (Other then stumbling out of bed due to still having a slight hangover :D)...Dayoff from work (Which happens once in a blue moon on Sunday's), saw & talked to other M3 enthusiasts, drooling at the ACS style front lip & angel eyes in person now made me finalized my decision to purchase both items (I got the angel eyes installed by bimmerfreak.com right after the meet :D thx Jude!).

100% Pure fun!!!! I was so glad I made the long trip to see the D-Town crew. I was very welcomed and I thank all the guys that showed. The drive through downtown Dallas was straight out the movies. I still can't wipe the smile off my face from the ride to the park. Having a pack of M3s humming down the road in a group was pure enjoyment. ThXXX Adam for being a great host and leader. Uber thanks to all the guys that showed up.

Can't wait for the vid of us running through DT. I hope some of you guys can make a Houston meet. You have a place to stay at my home if you need it.

1 word! AWSOME! :dance:

ThXXX

Well, thank you everybody that was a great meet and a lot of fun... :clap:

I especially liked the encounter with that ferocious State Park Trooper :tongue: (I kind of feel sorry for the guy because all this action probaly woke him up from his afternoon nap..., but on the other hand, thanks to us he'll have something to talk about around the dinner table for a change, "Honey, somethin' really crazy happened at the park today, there was this bunch of weird people from the city with those foreign cars......")
By the way I hope somebody has a picture of that guy. :ha: :ha:

Anyway that was a fun meet and the weather turned out to be great ! ( I have got that really bad sunburn on my left arm and my neck, I guess I get to be a RedNeck for real... Yeeehaaaa !!! :gun: )

I agree with the part about driving crazy! Imagine me trying to keep up in my 'lowly' little A4. I barely managed to do it, but the poor thing was spitting and sputtering on the way back...

But, it was fun nonetheless - trying to follow a pack of M3s in a much slower car. The next time we do this, I should have an M of my own :D

Yeah this meet was much better then the last one. All I have to say is, you guys drive crazy!!! :eek: Today was a good day (Other then stumbling out of bed due to still having a slight hangover :D)...Dayoff from work (Which happens once in a blue moon on Sunday's), saw & talked to other M3 enthusiasts, drooling at the ACS style front lip & angel eyes in person now made me finalized my decision to purchase both items (I got the angel eyes installed by bimmerfreak.com right after the meet :D thx Jude!).

Yea, the meet was good fun. That highway drive was crazy to say the least! Seeing my car next to yalls makes me want to hurry up and drop mine. Looks like Im driving a friggin SUV! Cant wait for the next meet. Hopefully we have a bigger turnout when the weather gets better. It was nice to meet other M3 owners who share the same passion for the M3.

Lets get together and have a beer:beer: ! I'm buying! :whistle:

That must of been a vivid dream last night Troy. :D

I will say this -- your car sounds great from behind it....the exhaust note is sweet, and I must admit that it sounds very cool when you down shift because I can hear the perfect blip from the SMG....even cooler when you keep downshifting to grab lower gears...once, twice, etc..

You are just lucky that I decided to let you keep the glory up front... you know i was all over your a$$ out there in my lightweight stick beast.... :-)

I live down the street from Cedar Hill state park I use to enjoy driving down 1382 reminded me of the area near Austin,TX. Now its become so crowded.

I have a 318 but my father has a supercharged M3. We were both gone on a Texas Hill drive the same weekend you all had a M3 met.

Looked like a big turn out from the pics.

I had mine installed with the splitters and its pretty damn low already.
Makes me kinda nervous to drop the car :cry:

Thx! :thumbsup: No need to roll the fenders as they do not rub at all. You probably can't tell from the pics but it's slammed all the way in the front & I still have a couple notches left to go in the rear (Even one-finger gap front/rear). I have Bilstein PSS9's set on the softest setting front/rear.

bee0818, sure I'll post a new thread w/pics & also measure ground clearance before/after. How about some pics of yours (PM me if you don't want to post here)? :D
