If you take a quick look on the right side of this site, you’ll find that I’ve started to add links to some photo galleries taken by various attendees of 5erWest. If you have a gallery that you wouldn’t mind sharing with us, post a comment and include the URL of your gallery. OR, contact me at 5erwest@nwbmwclub.com and we’ll get it sorted out together.

I’d also love to create a nice archive of cars that were at the show this year. I’ve sent out an email requesting your favorite pic of YOUR car taken at 5erWest along with your name, username and car info. Please send this info to the email listed above.

Wow! Once again I’m so impressed with the BMW community here on the West Coast. I’m so proud to say that you all made 5erWest another HUGE success this year. Thanks also to our sponsors who helped make this possible for a 2nd year. Tyler and I are already talking about 2012. I’m sorry if you didn’t get a chance to pick up a tee, but I’ll be looking into doing a “late” run. (not as late as last year… sheesh) Check out the Facebook group for announcements, as well. If you took photos, PLEASE post them here or on the Facebook page, or on your favorite forum… I didn’t even pick up my camara.

Hey folks, we’re now in the last stretch before the big day and I know we’re all making our last minute plans. I know that I’m going to be busy next week. I will be printing the official 5erWest 2011 shirts next week and trying to pay “some” attention to getting my car ready for the trip to Oregon.

I know that there are several folks that are organizing drives/caravans from different regions and have posted details on different forums. The CALI guys have a good plan, so if you’re coming North, it might be fun to try and hook up with them to make the drive.

That’s right, registration is now open for 5erWest 2011.

On the right hand side of this blog, you’ll find a link for event info and a place to register.
It’s FREE!! Just our way of trying to help out.

Once you register, I’ll send you a nice confirmation email with some details about the event that I’m too lazy to add to the main site.

July 22-24 is the official weekend!!
I’ve added a Facebook page for all you social networkers. Be sure to help spread the word to all your BMW lovin’ friends.

This year’s 5erWest will again be hosted in Gladstone, OR at the same riverside location that we used last year. The site is very convenient for local accommodations as well as being “off the track” enough to keep secluded feel to the event.  Right now, we’re looking for a new date that we’ll be able to use in years to come.  June is most likely off the table so July or Aug is going to be the best choic

As you can see, we have changed the website to a blog format to encourage more interaction with everybody. I would love to hear what you have to say about the event and any suggestions that might make it better.
