If anyone is looking I have a BUNCH of OEM BMW toolkit tools. If anyone needs something to fill theirs with I probably have it! 

Im asking 5$ a pop + shipping. If you buy more then one I give a discount and you can save on shipping!

Do you have any of the tubes? there is one on the far left and two on the right side, one inside of each other.

It looks amazingly terrible.

Idk what you all are smoking. It looks light-years better then the old site. Although they could used a different theme on Vbulletin.  The original site wasn't updated since 2004 if I remember correctly. Generally a website should be updated every couple of years.

Coming from a guy that designs UI's and products all day long, its very hard to follow and is not easy on the eyes. I can all out about 4 error in 2 seconds. They literally improved nothing, just changed some colors and left everything floating in space. Its pretty bad.

Fair enough. I do agree you get "Lost" in the design of the site. A night mode would be far better. But I cant pick it apart to much because at the end of the day. It is better then the old one. What do these old E30 owners know anyways lol

I wanted to go but had other plans already. I haven't been there in a few years, how was it?

Quieter than in past years. I think the rain scared a lot of people off, still a decent show though. I think the only bmw present was an orange isetta.
