That sucks soc_fans. Just curious, where's HIN this year? JJ going wit you as well? I finally saw his car at CarLab the other day....nice!
Looks like we still have a very impressive list of attendees. There are others that should be coming but are not on the shirt's list.
If anyone has other friends with other types of cars that would like to come, I think we should welcome them also. I wouldn't mind looking at other cars. I'll just need a better headcount closer to the date.

Unfortunately I didn't hear his sound system but I got a good look at everything. Very impressive (and expensive) set up! I wish I can have his Brembos. I also heard he wants to paint his wheels black again.. hahaha

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
O.K. Guys,
I sent a PM to those below regarding us moving the Meet & Greet to March 11th (Some of you had another commitment with the February 25th date, and some of you preferred this extra time to get your mods done!
).
So far, I've received 9 replies and everyone thus far has agreed to the March 11th date. As Merzbow pointed out, hopefully the weather will be better too!
EuroCarFan:
If it's O.K. with you, let's move the E60 Silicon Valley Chapter Meet & Greet to March 11th. Oh and if you're planning to join us and are not on the list below for a shirt, let me know if you want one, and what size!
Cheers!

Okay, I'm fine with moving the Meet to Mar 11th. Maybe Dinan would have the MAF and ECU tuning done by then. 
Besides for the list above, here are some others that will hopefully attend but have not requested Polo shirts:
from E60.net:
Prodigal545i
SFBimmer
kosta157
Wheelzplus
Yet_Another_Paul
Granman
Stream
from Bimmerfest:
RolandKelly
Roots
Yan_745Li
Cliff3
Keith
So we're looking at potentially about 30+ people when all's said and done. NICE!
I think he's gonna sell his Front brembos pretty soon. Interested?
Why don't you join us for the show too, tony? I'm sure it's gonna be a great experience for you.. plus you can take pics of some hot models with your E60! (make sure your wife isn't around you first )
[/quote]
Why is he just selling the fronts?
And if I'm gonna take pictures of hot models, I'll have them around me, forget the E60. hahaha

Hopefully we can get an M5 or two out there also.

Happy New Year to my fellow E60 fanatics!
As some of you may be aware, CoolTones and I discussed having the next meet some time in February. A few of us from the last meet are traveling in January so February seemed more ideal. This will also give CoolTones some time to get our E60.net polo shirts ready. Those of you who don't know, CoolTones is hooking us up with some customized E60 shirts that'll specifically identify us as the Silicon Valley Chapter. If you're interested, you should PM him with the request...he might still be able to put in your order.
As a refresher, our last meet was at the side parking lot of Santana Row in San Jose. I thought the place was great, plenty of parking and lots of good restaurants/bars/shops to check out afterwards. We could do it there again or try the two other suggestions I got from you guys....winery, maybe Wente Vineyards in Livermore or bbq potluck at a park. I really like the winery idea...Wente is beautiful and they have a great restaurant. The park sounds good also, maybe Vasona Park in Los Gatos. I'm just a little worried about the weather in February...but I guess we can't really do anything about that.
So those are the suggestions but I'm opened to others. Please also suggest a date in February.
Looking forward to your inputs. Please pass along this message to other Bay Area E60ers...hell, tell all your friends, the more the merrier.

I just heard about your group and would like to participate. Long time BMW owner (my current 2006 e60 is # 7 in a row) living in Danville. Once a date and location (I heard you had decided on Wente) is set, let me know. cbrenner@odonnell.com

Welcome to the forum cbren007!
The date is Mar 11th and it'll be at Wente. Once we get closer to the date, we'll finalize actual meeting time, meeting location at Wente, and activities.

Glad to have you Kosta!
Okay guys, I talked to Keith from Bimmerfest and his wife actually runs the tasting rooms at Wente. Keith said she might be able to set us up for a group wine tasting and tour at the Estate Room and possible discount on wines. I might hook up with Keith one of these days to go out there and scope out the facilities prior to our Meet.
My plans for that day will hopefully include Meet&Greet, lunch, wine tasting, a drive....not necessarily in that order. Actually, not so sure about wine tasting and then taking a drive....so here's my disclaimer: Don't drink and drive or do so at your own risk.
Again, any suggestions?
