Hi all - I just got back from BMW Festival 2005 at Gaydon - what an excellent day out, highly recommended to any BMW fan. There was some serious machinery present. Car of the show was a 2005 Oxford Green 530d Sport Auto

Here are some pics - quality isn't great (and there aren't many of the E60) as they're taken on my camphone.

Enjoy!

BMW Festival

Hi

SG535d's car was the one with the beautiful Hartge Wheels, and mine was the one with the Alpina wheels. Seems like we missed you there - would have been great to talk with you etc..



All the Best

WOW..your cameraphone takes great photos but didn't the one of the chaved up M3 threaten to break the lens...whats all that about...moving the dash instruments to fit a tv screen in its place....definately the worst car there in my opinion....the 2002's look fantastic, would love one as a sunny day toy!....top photo for me is the interlagos blue M5 rear shot image 30 I think

Good work!

Thanks - it's a nokia 6230i - I'm impressed with it. The chavvy M3 was a tuner's show car - still no excuse to wreck a beautiful car though!

The red e30 Touring in pics 23 and 24 was for sale for ?1600! - It was absolutely mint too. If only I had the room......
