👋 new member here (kind of). I first joined in 2019 with my E90 318d, I let that go after a years ownership, I did enjoy that car so recently been lusting after another one. So this is my recent purchase, an E92 330d, I would've preferred the petrol but as I'm using it daily then I needed the diesel for work, but still love it regardless! It is an Individual spec with Atlantis Blue exterior and with I believe the Champagne Interior? ( Correct me if i'm wrong on that)

Cheers guys, hope you like it 👍

Hi to all BMWCCGB members

I have just relocated from South Africa Cape Town.

I joined the BMW Car Club a few days ago, ex Cape Town member and hoping to meet you all at some of the events.

I just bought a X5 4.0d and my 135i is in a container at the port in Cape Town ready to ship.

If you would like to see a bit more on the car:



Thanks



If you have the power you will have the glory

Hi everyone, I’m a new paid up member. 

Looking forward to the SE meets either in Kent or Surrey/Sussex as I’m near Gatwick. 

I have an X3 G01 M40i in Brooklyn grey with quite a few cosmetic mods since getting it. My first proper BMW having come from a R56 Mini Cooper s for the last few years and a Mini one before that. Apparently mine was the first 22 model in the UK last September (2021!)

Here’s a video of my car being unloaded at the dealers 




Can’t post any pictures unfortunately as I’m not on any photo hosting sites or any social media so the forum is where I’ll keep checking for news and meets. 

All the best 

Shaun.

Hi all

Newbie here. I’ve been meaning to join the page for some time due to the multitude of BMW’s I’ve had over the years but I’ve finally settled with just two.

Currently own an 2011 E91 330d as a daily and a 1997 E36 M3 Evo coupe (better referred to as the money pit)

Hopefully I’ll be at a few shows next year so come say hi 👋

Good evening all, I'm Pete and I've just joined. I'm a carpenter from Capel-le-Ferne near Folkestone.
I don't yet own a BMW but I'm looking for a low mileage Z3 preferably a 2.0 or 2.2.  The car is to replace my beautiful Triumph Daytona T595 which was written off last year when I was pulled out on at 40mph. I suffered  bi-lateral pelvis fractures and a broken right knee. That was last August and I'm still struggling with the knee.
Anyway, enough of my woes! I've joined the club hoping to glean some knowledge from existing owners. While trying to work out what car I'd like to replace the bike I'd not even considered the Z3 but since going to look at one and having a drive I'm smitten! It's going to be a Z3 !
Follow up: Just bagged myself a 2000 2ltr in Topaz Blue with just 67k miles. Can't wait to pick it up!

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.

Hi all, bit of a marmite car had it for a couple of years mainly a track car but using it daily at the moment.
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.

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

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?

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.
