% chance I would end up stranded on the side of the highway?

Pretty low. 
I gotta do another shakedown run soon before feeling 100% confident in my above statement.

What is this thing like to drive on the highway? I'll probably just take the fields instead.

Are you guys pumped? I know I am. 

Who's still in a mad dash to finish things? I'm trying to do my sunroof delete tonight to make my compact light as possible just in case some M42 e30 sucka wants to throw down for pinks.

I am also pump 

I just need to rinse the pollen off so that new pollen has a place to land

[Jdesign]

Im pumped!

 But what's life if you don't bounce off the limiter ever now and again. I will be installing a waterpump and thermostat tonight. I hope I have all the parts and don't find any surprises. If so, I will be driving a NON-BMW with BMW badges.

Picnic or Bust! Is life.

My fiance is driving her Volvo 850 out there, so I may need to zip tie some kidneys on it

Very pumped! My mad dash has slowed down, just gotta finish cleaning it up tonight!

I was hoping I'd make it but this weekend is starting to get complicated. Hope to still make it.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I did just buy tickets / camping for Road America Vintage weekend. @wasnt m3 i reserved site 104, are you in the carousel this year?

We have a total of 4 or 5 sites between @wasnt m3 and myself. All together this year! We'll start a RA vintage thread soon.

Wish this was on Sunday so I could go. Take lots of pics!

All the good spots got taken super early this year. Got 3 sites in the low 200's this year, right before you go over the bridge.

Ahh crap! Picnic Eve catastrophe!

The E30 Gods are not well appeased

my friend (not an active poster here) got into an accident today, not his fault. Subaru driver in background was either playing Crossword Jam or reloading their vape while driving.

[YoungCR]

Ughh that’s a heavy hit too people suck

[Boris3]

Hope he's ok.

[Ryan...]

I'm trying to make it out yet today! Obviously won't be there from the start, trying to convince teh lady fren that this is more importanter than what she had planned today...

Biggest showing ever? Best weather ever?

I counted over 50 cars but estimate close to 70-75 were there.

@HipMF @m42b32 and @P_Roloff met up at Qdoba beforehand and drove to the picnic together. We lost Joe and Peter at the freeway offramp due to traffic mixing in and obscuring their view of us. I get a text a minute later from joe “we missed the exit, see you there” okay. There were only 3 cars when we arrived, one was a white e30 coupe, another was a white e30 vert. 

Now how did Joe and Peter beat us to the picnic when I was on the fastest route?!?!

it turns out it wasn’t them, it @wasnt m3

They ended up arriving a few minutes later. It was one of those “had to be there” sort of things but it was a total mindf*** 

Who won the raffle?
