How about a general 325i sport meet as it would get better attendance figures?

I had thought about this before, a "bracknel special" meet at bracknel before BMW move from there?

Would be good to get all the different colours available together in one place.

If I've got the sport back on the road in time then I'd be interested.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Depending on date I could make it to Bracknell, But would a iS be welcome at a 325 meet? the ace cafe meet is easiest for me but as I work nights its a PITA and and normally like to relax before work.

Hardly, we are talking about a posse of council types and their 'Tupperware turdz' in Bracknell. Pebble Beach it is not :)

Come on, the M42 deserves more than that! more of a comparison to an F40. The sheer agression and rarity of the chin spoiler let alone the power to weight to easily eat the cossie for breakfast! Not to mention if you chip the engine. Everybody knows this right?

Too bad, 3 years probably isn't enough time to get a zone meet organised.
