BMW Club WA (Inc) 2019 Show'N'Shine

Once again the Club held its annual display of members' BMWs, together with those of other BMW enthusiasts, under the shade of the peppermint trees at Manners Hill Park on a sunny but cool spring day. Almost 70 cars were on display and 14 of them went up for judging in the tent to compete for the prizes on offer.

As ever, the judges had their work cut out separating the good from the very good and the point scores were very close. In the end, the E28 528i of John C had a narrow victory (again) to win Best in Show from John S's E46 M3 Convertible and Kelvin B's E46 3 Series Coupe.

Meanwhile, back in the paddock, hundreds of passers-by were admiring and voting on all the BMWs on display and chose Wayne H's classic E24 635CSi as the People's Choice. There must be something about shiny red cars.

Thanks go to BMW Australia, Westcoast BMW and AutoFX for the support to once again make it a great day for Club members.

Some of the fantastic examples of Club members' BMWs can be seen below, and in the slide shows above.

Thunder and Lightning - BMW Club Night at the Motorplex

It was Whoop Ass Wednesday at the Motorplex drag strip with special discounts for BMWs and Club members turned out to try their cars on the track. The day was hot and, as the cloud built up, there was thunder and lightning, both in the sky and on the ground. The street-standard BMWs were matched against each other and against other road cars to see who has bragging rights over the standing 400 metres, and sometimes the pairings included some pretty serious drag cars.

The pairings went pretty much as you might expect: The M5 just held off the M4,

the M4 put the AMG Mercedes hot hatch back into its proper place

and the M650i calmly wooshed its way past all comers, until they brought out The Charger.

As might be expected the drag strip special beat the road car but he had to pull a wheelstand to do it.

Back in the queue, an E30 3-Series had fun against a more modern 1-Series.

A different type of sheer driving pleasure, but still a fun day (evening) for those who gave it a go.
