Hi all,

Not sure if this is the correct place for this topic so apologies in advance.
I was at the BMW CC National Festival yesterday and took a few shots so thought I would share with you. A mix of new car launches (well the G21), all other series and of course lots of Zeds.

This is not 56k friendly

Wow ! You took a lot of photos !

Excellent variety of models on show but personally there is nothing in the first 18 photos that interests me in the slightest

I worked for a BMW dealer group for almost 10 years up to 2005, I've owned 4 different BMW cars and have always been a huge fan of the marque, its history and heritage etc so it pains me to say this but when are they going to drop this current awful, grotesque and OTT styling ? It just highlights how individual looking each model in the range used to be whilst remaining restrained, smart and classy.
They all look hideously the same now. It's such a shame

Wow, what a lot of BMWs. Love the purple 5 Series. Thanks for posting, must have taken ages to upload that lot.

Thanks all!

Yeah it took a bit of time to get all the img coding done for the forum but it's a 1 time exercise that works on all forums

Regarding below, completely agree! Unfortunately, I feel BMW are chasing the Chinese market where big grills are a requirement

Have you seen the new X6 illuminated grills?

Thanks and sorry! Could you tell me a few more details about your E46 Touring and I might have a photo of it. I took over 700 shots on the day but after final editing, the count was about 300 so I might have it!

Great pics, thanks for posting them..!

Nice to see that red kitted E89 is still knocking about, used to be, or might still be, a member on here. That step between the door and wing though...horrendous fit, seen it on a another black car in the states exactly the same, rest of the kit looks great if you like kits but this particular bit, what we’re they thinking letting it go into production...
