I saw a "Turner" BMW race car on a trailer heading north on I93 this morning while heading to work.

I'm setting up a gtg at Sugar & Ice Creamery in Barrington, NH.

What day and time would work for everyone so I can let the owners know that we are coming?

I was thinking weekend would work the best. How about next weekend? The owners love Minis. Having a meet here would also draw seacoast Minis as well.

Looks kinda similar. So when is the CM arriving? Do you know any other MINI drivers?

I've always thought that too. You'll just have to stay to the end for pictures so you don't block out all the Minis.

Alrighty, need some thoughts here... On a very rare occasion, my car will throw the CEL that's yellow and half-lit in my tach, and it goes into limp mode. It won't throw a legitimate CEL in the speedo, and it's not throwing codes, so I'm completely stumped. I have to think that it's a very small vacuum leak somewhere, or a bad gasket someplace, but I honestly have no idea. Needing to get it inspected shortly, but I think this little hiccup isn't a big enough deal yet to bring up to someone that'll charge me for asking questions.

Thoughts?

Edit - Some threads that I read through are leaning toward an overboost issue, and some even goes as far as mentioning the diverter valve. I do have and upgraded WMW DV that was "never used" by the guy that I bought it from... Ryan - let me know if you have any issues with yours during hot days on tough drives, and I'll keep watching the problem...

Sorry to hear your having issues Nick. I feel your pain. My airbag light is on... again. Third time. Same issue I bet as the past two times. I'm calling the dealer this morning to talk to the service manger.

Hey guys,
So of course 3 days before i leave for bimmerfest. We were working on my exhaust and realized there was a coolant oder come from it. Smelled like fresh coolant. No smoke though and couldnt find any moisture on the block or the turbo. The coolant overflow was about half full ( not sure where thats usually at) we couldnt pinpoint any issues but do you guys have any ideas??

When we pulled off the last pipe on the exhaust there was a small amout of moisture. Leaking. Not sure if that was coolant or not. But the smell is pungent

Hope its a none issue Dave!

Any luck with your issue Nick?

Mines at the dealer and I'm sporting a c-man for now. Airbag light and seatbelt alarm issue. Third time its in to be fixed for the same issue. Oh and today my sat radio got stuck on channel 2. Electrical problem? Engines running good though.

We could do an informal meetup for whoever could make it. The problem is most of us can not meet up until after 7:30pm or later during the week. Thats why we meet at 7:30pm to 8pm.
