A drive through Missouri will just end with us all having cracked subframes, you can contest to that Kevin. Just playing, but for real though. If someone puts something together I'm down for enjoying some nice weather.

wassup, from KC too. Prairie Village to be more specific.

Anyone ever been to saddlers?

http://www.sadlersindoorracing.com/

There are some good roads out near Lawrence, but I dont know where exactly. I went on a Porsche Club of America drive out in that direction. I think we topped out at around 115 :eeps:
The local KC club puts on an event at Saddlers every year and always has a great time. This wouldn't be a bad idea for a meet. Meet, go garts, and then move on to something else.

The highway near Lawrence you speak of is highway 4 I believe. We take this route on bike sometimes. It's a very twisty road but has varrying road conditions.

Agreed! I think perk might be a poser:thanks:

I know there are some bmw guys from m3forum, e90post and stl e46 guys going :rofl:

Lets have the KC e46 guys meet up in like blue springs then drive over ;)
Very funny Kev, you know me just another poser. Atleast this poser has a car to drive, lol.

I thought Columbia was farther away, 1.5 hours isn't to bad but I have a softball tourny that weekend.

To bad you can't make it to MAM this Friday, should be a good time.

I imagine the swap would be easy (maybe not easy but........) but I have no clue about the ecu. Depending on the year I know that the ecu become integrated into everything and cam become a pain to deal with.

Why not just sell the car and find the same car in a manual? This would be much easier and probably cheaper.

I love how everyone wants to meet and hang out with fellow fanatics but no one listens when I say we meet every month on the third Thursday at Zarda's BBQ in Shawnee and every first Saturday of the month at Panera Bread just down the road from Baron. The next Saturday meet is May 1st anytime after 8 am.

PM me if you want more details. The local KC chapter has our own dedicated website at kcbmwclub.com where you can view events and our forum. As it stands right now only members can post but we are working on opening it up to everyone.

Peace,
Perk

Brad, I will start going to stuff when I move back this summer. Gotta fill out the application and stuff still. I think its good that all the Fanatics would like to get together because we have a rather weak showing compared to other states.
True that, compared to other states are stuff is weak but you don't have to be a member to come to the stuff. I wasn't a member when I first started going. Just show up, chill, and then leave.

I feel as if that would be awkward. You said there are a lot of older members. I know 20Ducks was pretty cool, but I just don't know how comfortable I would be showing up to these things without being a member after you told me the old balls guys are gonna give me crap haha. I am really interested in joining though, and I hope you are ready to start that project when I get back from school. Brad, actually do some work today...
Do some work, yeah that's funny.

I know I said give you crap but I didn't mean it in a way as give you a hard time for being young. There are always anywhere from 5-10 of us younger guys at most of the meets (that's why I want more). I meant it more in the way that they will try and convince new people to join the club which by no means do you have to.

I hope that makes since.

Ya I know, Ryan and I will probablly show up at something once I am back in town. You should probablly remember to invite me next time...
You will get a text from now on for everything I go to. Actually, KC Trends is having a get-to-gether Friday night (you might still be in Manhattan) but for anyone else who would like to go.

KC Trends at 6:30. Eat, hang out, and then drive as a group to fuel around 9:30. You will be given a wristband at KC Trends that will get you free intrance into Fuel and cheap food and drinks. Fuel is for the 21 and up crowd but KC Trends is for whoever. Me and a few other BMW enthusiest will be there rain or shine.

That is a HUGE turnout! I was going to go, but the rain kept me away...
I'm sorry sir but the title of this thread says KANSAS fanatics listen up and I do believe that you live in Misourri. Could you please stay out of our thread.

I appreciate it, thank you.

You forget Brad is whipped, or so I am told... Something about he couldn't have a facebook because of her
Hahahahahahahahah, whipped. I run my sh1t son. The facebook thing is another story, my dumb ass got caught messageing someone I shouldn't have been so "I" and there is a large emphasis on I decided to delete my account.

Kevin - her brother and I have to go help her dad work on their house, and they live on Grand lake so I have no problem visiting.

Heartland Parks upcoming schedule looks like this.

May 12 - Not attending
June 16 - Attending
July 7 - Attending
July 21 - Attending
August 1 - Attending

The only thing for the inspection 2 that we will not be able to do ourselves is the valve adjustment which isn't cheap. Baron charges like 800 bucks for it.

Who else does it and do you know of anyone that can hook me up? Also should I bu that kit from turner or should I try to find everything elsewhere
A couple months back we got a group of guys together and had an indy shop in Shawnee (one of Kevins buddies) do about 5 M3's. He gave us a great group rate but that's because Kevin rented the shim kit and special BMW tool. I know the shop owner talked about buying a shim kit but I'm not sure if he ever did. I will call him on Monday and ask what he can do, the more people you can get to confirm getting it done at one time the better the price.

Other than that I would just by the Turner kit, it keeps everything together so you don't forget about anything.

You don't adjust the valves on a 325...ever, lucky guys
I was hoping you would chime in Kev. I wasn't sure what models required the valve job.

Jacob - buy the kit from turner, it should include everything you need.

Im saying screw turner, ill get like 70 bucks cheaper if I buy individually. I can help with the clutch if you tell me what to do. If you have the DIY it should be pretty easy to walk through. Hey are you guys up for meeting up Sunday the 16th if its a nice day. I would like to hang out and maybe go for a drive if its good weather. Meet for lunch then go driving? I know the BMW club does it brad, but why not get everyone else together too. And panara is for old people and women...
You never know what Panera is like if you have never been and I’m not apposed to doing things outside of the club seeing I’ve met up with you and Ryan a couple of times. I’m down for whatever whenever as long as I’m not playing ball.

I use Turner cause they give me good prices when I call because I have an account and have spent so much damn money there.
