Well, I'm just a couple of hours away from going to the L.A. Autoshow. Seeing the new cars , spokesmodels etc. I'm looking forward to the new BMW 1 series premiere along with all the other new BMW's too. Anyone else around here going to the show? 
Also MUST go to the accessory building and see about a little something for the BMW stable here. Its going to be great.

Just went yesterday. Definitely a good idea to check out the aftermarket parts downstairs.
They had the M3(coupe and sedan) and the 135 coupe. Wished they would let you actually get inside those cars.
I'm sure you'll have a great time at the show. Enjoy.

When I used to live in LA couple of years ago I always went to the show at least once - absolutely 'must see' at this time in LA!! However, be aware it's tough to see it all in one day !
before that I also have had a chance to see Detroit Autoshow few times (I lived in Great Lakes State for a while
.
It's true: both are great shows, I highly recommend to see it if you're around. It's a pity we don't see so much US cars in EU these days... :thumbsdown:
So, I will appreciate posting your pics guys somewhere online afterwards!
For "exchange" I can try to post somewhere "tons of pics" I took during the last Frankfurt Auto Show over here, incl. for example all new BMWs, also the magnificent CS...

So I went to the show, and it was great. I saw all the new BMW's (new M3 coupe and sedan, 1 series etc) I just don't understand why most of their cars were white? Its an autoshow after all, they should be a LITTLE dramatic. Still they were mighty impressive. Fell in love with an Aston Martin DBS, sat in it and marvelled at what a truly handmade car is like, absolutely nothing was made of plastic in this car, but when you shell out over 200 large, thats the way it should be. I just wondered when I got back to my beloved 545i, did it know? Oh the guilt!! 
ha ha! BTW..... Chang...... nice "F"ing picture man, she's amazing!Oh well, now back to my guilt....should I buy my car something pretty to get over the guilt? I suppose! Its as good an excuse as I really need.
