ANY UK BMW SHOWS?

Post by dallantan »

Preferrably midlands but seriously, is there any good ones worth attending?

Does zroadster.net have a stand anywhere in the UK?

I think most BMW shows really let the side down last year. Gaydon was poor and Santa Pod wasn't great either so we're steering clear this year and going for some general car meets.

There doesn't seem to be much imagination out there at the moment.

Don't know where you are geographically, but The Ace Cafe (north London) has German car nights (BMW +merc). Never been, but they are meant to be quite good. Details on Ace Cafe website.

If you don't mind lots of different makes of cars, then the Pistonheads Sunday Service meets might be worth a try. Very informal meet, with everything from a boyracer Corsa to a McLaren, but usually lots of M3's. Details on the Pistonheads website.

Even though I'm in the midlands, I've managed to make the last 2 Ace Cafe meetings and am doing the BMW day in May too, they always put on a good meet :)

Classic and Performance Car Spectacular - From 1 June 2013 to 2 June 2013

The 27th year for one of Britain's best and most popular classic car events. Around 2,000 classic, vintage and performance cars are on show and around 80 of Britain's top club displays including Jaguar, Lotus, Mercedes Benz and a special Italian car club feature. Massive 3-day Cheshire autojumble with classic car-mart. General trade stands, children's rides and refreshments. Call Cheshire Auto Promotions on 01565 723 863 for more information

Does this now include the Northern BMW show?
That was normally a BMW only event at Tatton,...... the above isn't...

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Just to confirm, the 1st and 2nd of June are the Tatton Classic Car Show (see here), which normally has a BMW stand.

The 17th and 18th of August are the other Tatton Classic Car Show (see here) and I don't think this has a BMW stand, at least not in recent years.

I see nothing is listed for what is usually called "The Northern BMW Festival", which is a BMW only event, and the one that we used to run a cruise and meal after. It has usually been the week before the RHS Flower Show.

Cheers R.

Perhaps I should have clarified that the NW Region have secured 20 places at Tatton for this show, it's NOT the Northern BMW Show. Apologies for any confusion caused.
