I think the focus of next years Bimmerfest event should be the E36, that will be quite a big deal as there are plenty of them out there and race cars and all. Be good to see some of the M3's battle it out and we will have to pray for fine weather...2015 is the 25th Anniversary of this model, the successor to the E30...what do others think ?

Here are some more photos from the Bimmerfest 2014 - lot's of non 8 pix. Thanks to all that supported this and almost all of us had a really good time. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/…

We have 17 entries to date so there are around 30 spare places... so please register ASAP. It will be good to roll on up and see some unique BMW Cars both Road and Track Cars and enjoy some track time... There will be a lot of fun to be had even if you don't have a car to put on the track... For those who are coming there will be prizes for the three best cars in each category, Road, Race and E31...donated by Jerry Clayton BMW...

Announcing the Inaugural Bimmerfest Weekend 15/16 November 2014. The Kiwi 8’er Group in conjunction with the BMW Car Club of New Zealand announce the following events for the weekend of the 15th and 16th of November.

About 4 to 5 days before the event Playday will send an email to everybody who has paid, with details of the time to be at the Track etc. As the BMW Car Club or no other BMW affiliated business would not sponsor this event the Playday organizers have opened the day to all comers so I would urge you to get in straight away if you want to be part of it otherwise you will miss out ! Following the event there will be a prizegiving and BBQ sponsored by the BMW Car Club and Jerry Clayton BMW at the track… Sunday 16th A BMW Car meeting and day trip down some interesting by roads to the Cheese Factory Cafe at Waharoa in the Waikato for lunch and then a return journey to Auckland and of course for those of you journeying from afar a trip home… This is a no cost event except for your time and petrol, and lunch. We will meet at the Countdown Carpark in the South East Corner by McDonalds at 9.30 for a 10 am start and a route map will be provided to each car. It is hoped that the 8 Series will lead the procession of cars and we will be stopping along the route for photo opportunities and a chance to swap passengers etc… For those returning to Auckland it might be an idea to bring swim wear as we could call into the Miranda Hotsprings and then have an early fish dinner at the Kaiaua Fish and Chip Shop. Please let us know if you will be attending this event by emailing Alan Ferguson ( fearghus@xtra.co.nz ) with the number attending and the expected vehicle… This will help with catering at the Cafe… Please pass on this message to any friends or acquaintances you know who are BMW owners just in case they are not on my list… Thanks Alan Ferguson Organizer PS if you want to be included in the Kiwi 8’er Group on Facebook please send your Facebook name also, or comment here that you do and I will add you...
