thanks 320 ice, luckily in the clubs constitution it is very clearly stated that the club is not influenced by bmw ag, bmw sa or any dealership, but decisions are made by the members.

@320 ice...thx for the feedback...appreciate the encouragement. I remember the beemerz well, my younger brother & brother inlaw hooked up with you guys at one stage...i was living in the highveld at that time...the Club had some of the most beautiful e30 325s and the rare convertible as well....

Your Club has a very popular and well known history, has anyone written up your story yet? Perhaps a newspaper article of those days? Is the Club still around? Do you have any pic that we could upload here on the forum???

As you can see i have many questions.
Would we be able to meet up and discuss your story?

Glad to hear that Freerider, Rowen should be able to tell you all about it. We were a bunch of hooligans. Not for the fainthearted, LOL.

@ Dreamer, we sure had some awesum cars in the Club, which was one of the problems that BMW SA and AG had a problem with. They did not want any Customised cars e.g. airbrushing etc to be part of the club as they felt it would bring the club and therefore the brand into disrepute.
We decided to go it alone and as a result had the fastest growing Car club in the Western Cape at one stage. Good days those were, but at times we did take it a bit too far but I can say with certainty that none of the guys regrets a single moment of that.
I need to go and scratch out all the old pictures but here is one we took at a Technical day we had at Reynolds.
Unfortunately I live in Jo'burg now so meeting won't be possible. But next time i'm in Cape Town and you guys have an event i will definetly come and say HI.
PS: The club is unfortunately no more. Hope i don't get into trouble for saying this but i think Exclusively ///M was born from this club. They just took it to the next level, which is why there are still a few ex Beemerz members that are a part of Exclusive. And they have done some great work in bringing together the ///M chapter in the Western ape and having them with you will just establish what you are doing that much faster, so all i'm saying is BRING THOSE BOYS IN WITH YOU, sooner rather than later.

of course i know those boys...:thumbsup: wish i had known the girls as well...nice picture :thumbsup::thumbsup:...wait, wait i know all three girls...:thumbsup:

well, well...i think we have something here.

@Dreamer...this is a story i would like to write...even though i was not part of the Beemerz club...it will be a very positive story of note...including the wild days as well...it is an essential part of the Club sub culture in the Cape that could go lost if not captured and retold...

@i320ice...i will drop you some names via PM and let me know if you still remember them...and don't think you will get away with only 1 pic...:)

ooooohhhh can't wait to start research & write....okay only after 3 weeks from now...

Ja, got an offer I couldn't refuse and after 6 months i'm moving to another company. Don't like politics, work is stressful enough. Quite liking JoBurg, so i'll probably be here for a while.

@Shiraz, thx for the welcome.
You are very welcome to join. I think we will run a thread in due course asking forum members to share ideas for the first big event to have fun but also to attract new members. :thumbsup:

We will have a couple of BMW dealers participating as well & most importantly they HAVE to sponsor the event. Did you see how freerider look lately; muscle man; no one can refuse his requests:)

Are you intent on stirring?

I can show you 2lt citi golfs that whip the pants off of M3s, does that mean that they are better than an M3? I dont think so, it just means that someone has spent the time and money to build a very fast car.

This thread was meant as an introduction to the newly formed club, not a baiting thread to get people to go and waste petrol trying to be faster than a heavily modded nissan. If anyone wants to go then so be it, but please dont hijack this thread, make a new one in the TLGP forum.

EDIT TO ADD: I see you only have 10 posts so cant access the TLGP forum, maybe you should stick around for a while and learn how people actually communicate here on the forum.

I was so hoping that when i decided to stay out of the tlgp section, that i wouldn't have to read this "my balls are bigger than yours" crap in non-tlgp threads. I'm sorry guys.. I just don't get it. Maybe i am getting too old.
