The 10 Year Old ///M Club

[Argenta]

So are you all off to Munich this year the way the M3 CSLS did ? ... i know they weren't built there but its a long way to Spartanburg

Since BMW Museum seemingly don't even aknowledge ANY E85/86 I'd be very surprised to see any official gathering.. A shame, would make a nice summer trip.

 

[ZermattV]

who said you had to make it official... call them and tell them your all coming

May be somebody as 1 of these:

LD39001 Production date 11.08.2005
LD39003 Production date 16.08.2005
LD39006 Production date 23.09.2005

Mines 118, so guess the 118th of the line.

do you guys over there get massive discounts after 10 years for road rego? or is that 20 years for vintage?

Road tax? Neither.

40 years, so way to go yet.

You can never make it as the date is fixed, so in another 10 years it has to be 50 years old etc.

Hello Steve, if you mean me as the Andy I've still got my ///M and I did check a few weeks ago on the build date and I'm 100% sure mine was built in Jan 06 but not registered till 07/06/06, I've had a lot going on in life the last 8 months or so but hopefully getting back on track now, I'm hoping to go to Duxford in May with the forum cheers Andy

Checked my V5 last night: 30 Sept 2006. So I've got a few months yet until it's officially ten. Seems crazy as it still feels new and fresh...
