"meh"
I mean the exotics were nice and all, but to be honest something called "bimmerstock" really didnt seem to be all about bmw's to me.. We (majority) of the bimmers were in a lot, that when we pulled in, it seemed cool, but then as you walk around you realize the action and music and food, etc, sponsers are all only in the exotic section(down the street!) lol... It seemed like all the bimmers were in the back lot, that noone really went to unless you needed to grab your umbrella or something. Idk, it is my opinion, but I personally thought it would be different. It sounded better then it was. First time for everything though right... and to top it off some members of this forum got to the lot later, and they ended being put in the 3 level parking garage along with spectators, my sister parked her acura truck in there too.. so for those of us who spent countless hours cleaning, washing, claying and waxing our cars.. your work was useless..lol..
i enjoyed seeing e60 friends, meeting new ones and my sister, nephew and kerrys m3 cause i cant wait for mine too.lol.. best part was the kids and kerrys son saying "bye mel!" that was adorable..
aside from that i was exhausted, tired, my eyes were swollen from being out the 3 previous nights, drinking at block parties and not slowing down.. and i wished i would have slept all day... so that about sums it up.. anyone else want to comment? lol..

I agree with your assessment of the event. Meh summed it up nicely lol. Its tough to set something up in a small town with so many attending. Either way I enjoyed seeing some very unique rides and hangin out til I left to go watch the giants game.

Damn that sucks the BMW section was in a "back lot." I thought all the cars would be lined up on the street along with the exotics. Damn if I went, I'd be in the level 3 parking lot too. I wouldn't be rolling in at 8am for a show.

I think Mel nailed it .. It seemed like it was more catered to the exotics than bimmers considering it was called bimmerstock.
I got there @ 10:15 and I had to park in the garage although it wasn't bad since my car stayed dry.

So You guys waxed, clayed and made your cars shine to park in a car garage. Bad Idea... Gotta suck, after all it was Calton who bragged the most about this meet.

Mel is right. Don't get me wrong it was nice to see some exotics, but it was kind of lame. I'm glad I went down there the day before to visit friends. I would have been pissed if "bimmer stock" was the only reason why I went.
It was good to see some of you again though .
