I am new to the board and am looking for an M5.( Have 330 now) I was wondering if there are any bimmer people in western colorado-utah. Are there ever any group drives etc?. It would be great to meet some fellow BMW enthusiasts. Thanks, Jim

Is there anyone in Colorado??

I guess just me?? This is a lonely area to be in!!

Yes - I don't like that they moved these posts to a different area...it makes sense I suppose but few visit them.

I'm in Springs and we had an amazing 600 mile fall drive up and around Rocky Mountain National Park. There is a road up there newly paved that feeds mostly camp groudn areas and therefore is barely travelled. I'm hoping we set up a Springs drive when things thaw out real good and I can put the Pilot Sports back on.

My buddy in the office just picked up his new M5 last week so we now have 2 in the parking lot

.

Hopefully we can hook up for a drive in a few weeks.

Cheers!

M5CCIE also lives in Highlands Ranch. I bought my winter rims and tires from him and we enjoyed a great fall drive together. He has already mentioned a spring drive so we should use this thread to start organizing something.

Congrats on the recent purchases. This board is phenomenal for info.

How many miles on your cars?

Just tipped over 47,000.

Got mine at 52. Clutch had to be replaced...50k seems to be pretty common.

Plugs got replaced which uncovered valve cover gasket leak. Runs much smoother though with new plugs.

Just last week changed Transmission, differential, oil and power steering. Shifting is smoother now.

Previous owner had MAFs replaced and a break job at 46k.

The 40k to 60k range seems to be a bit expensive but all is well now so hopefully I can cruise to 100k with nothing but optional expenses.

Performed brake flush and coolant flush.
Replaced AC belt.
Clutch and flywheel replaced at 38,000 miles.

Oil change tomorrow.
