Successful Technical Morning at Westcoast BMW - Saturday 24 March 2018

Club members enjoying the annual technical morning with the service team at Westcoast BMW at their state of the art facility in Wangara. "Energy" was the topic delivered this year, with Master Technician Marcel discussing the way BMW is advancing efficiency without sacrificing performance and the joy of driving. We were also able to see in detail the engine from the awesome BMW M5 F10.

The F10 M5 uses a 4395 cc variation of the S63 4.4L V8 engine, which produces 412 kW (560 PS; 553 bhp) at 6000 – 7000 rpm and maximum torque of 502 lb-ft (680 Newton metres) from 1500 – 5750 rpm and it was great to be able to see this wonderful piece of engineering up close.

Thanks to Westcoast BMW for a very interesting event, greatly appreciated.

BMW Club WA Show’N’Shine 2017 - Sunday 12 November

The stars aligned on Sunday, literally, when the best display of BMWs ever in Western Australia lined up in the shade of the peppermint trees at Manners Hill Park, by the side of the river in Peppermint Grove.

I’m not sure if anyone counted the cars but at least 60 Club members’ cars were on display, surpassing last year’s Centenary Celebration numbers, and the quality of the display was enhanced by the presence of an i8 and a latest release X3, courtesy of our friends at Auto Classic.

The weather was nearly perfect and the atmosphere was fantastic. The judging tent threatened to blow away with the sea breeze gusting higher as the day went on, but 20 members’ BMWs passed through the tent before we called it quits and added up the points (and dismantled the tent before the wind did it for us).

A full list of cars judged and scores will be published shortly in the club magazine but a simple summary goes like this – every class had a worthy winner and all the cars judged were great examples of the marque. Well done to all the owners – your investment in elbow grease showed up on the score sheets. But in a unique outcome, the Best Car in Show, the Best 5 Series and the People’s Choice award all went to Allan Perry for his superb E34 535iS.It’s not always the case that the people and the judges agree but they did last Sunday. Well done Allan!

Soon there will be a video of the day uploaded on the website, which should give you a clearer view of how good the display was this year, and high resolution images of all the cars will be available from AJ Photography for purchase. If your car was in the line-up at some time throughout the day, then there’ll be a photo of it. In the meantime, take a look at these members’ photos of some of the cars on display.
