Just wondering how many Beasts in the neighborhood. I've only seen two in the last year and I travel the area quite a bit.

Should have mine home by Sunday.

We had taken my beast back in Sept or oct, and havent been back since i had to have my engine replaced.. Shes back up and running now so hopefully we can make it up for the next exotic meet. My other half has an E46 M3 so we may caravan out that way so both cars are there. :D

Not much action in Nashville I see...typical. It's too bad really. Seems like we don't care about the finer things in life. We need to get more going on here in Middle TN. I'm trying to get a couple friends to come with me to the Dragon's tail. Has anyone else been? I haven't yet, but would like to toward the end of this October/November.

Our River City Bimmers chapter of the BMWCCA is making a trip to the tail in Nov. We are passing thru your neck of the woods if you would be interested in linking up with us somewhere, I believe we are taking 840 around Nashville. I think there are 20+ cars from our chapter planning on taking the trip.

Guess I'm out of the loop. I'd definitely like to come with you in November. You will literally be driving right by since I live right off 840.

I just bought my 740i so I haven't been looking around just yet for chapters, but I need to get back into it again. Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into this chapter. Meanwhile how can I find out more about the trip you guys are taking? Who do I need to get in contact with?

Oh to answer the above question. I ordered the USB scanner and disc from ebay. It's pretty difficult to figure out unless you know computers. You need windows 7, so I'm getting my friend to let me use his laptop and see if that works. He tried on his wife's and we had a tough time getting it. And he knows computers and software. I'll let you know when we get it

That's a sweet looking E60! They are really starting to grow on me.. Have any of you guys took your M to a dyno? I'm out of town until early July and have some little maintenance things to freshen up. But I would love to dyno my beast and see where it's at.. I have some minor mods and plan on getting an ESS kit sometime this year. So a baseline would be sweet. Maybe we could set up a meet or like cars n coffee? I think that's still popular with the Nashville enthusiasts.

Hey all. Just moved from SoCal to Knoxville area (Friendsville) this week. Will need to know if/when/where any meets happen, and where to get the Beast worked on. TY. Liking the area a lot so far. Haven't explored much yet. I see there's a hot-rod event at the Foothills Mall from April through summer, so I suspect I'll do that when it starts. Will do Gatlinburg moonshine tasting tomorrow. ;)

glad to see another e39 m5 owner in the area!! The Foothills mall show is pretty good and goes all summer. There is always the European Auto Garage Cars and Coffee events, they have a poker urn coming up the first weekend of April on the first and then the Harpers Cars and Coffee on sunday april 30th at West Town Mall. They both have them going all summer usually at least one a month. Hit them up on facebook and you can keep track of them. I do all my work my self, used to work at Grayson and European Auto Garage and a few others in town. I'm only in town on the weekends and would be more than happy to work on it then at my shop in Lenoir City but i highly recommend European Auto Garage and Kadunza. Have fun in Gburg and just hit me up if you need anything. Don'y know if ill have my m5 back together by the poker run but ill have one of my bimmers or my ctsv wagon out there. Hit up the Dragon, foothills pky and the skyway. you can do a loop that hits all three. Its an awesome drive.
