About this event
M Car Day
Saturday, September 11
9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Griot’s Garage, Tacoma, WA
Are you ready to show off your M-car? Then I have good news for you…M-Car Day at Griot’s in Tacoma is back this year! If you have an M-Car, you can reserve a spot on the Griot’s lot and show off your car and mingle with other M-car owners. Registration will be via MotorsportReg and only costs $1 (for your included raffle ticket). There are only 200 spots, so sign up early!
The purpose of the registration process is to ensure those with M-Cars who want a spot on the field can get one. If we do not get enough M-Cars to fill the 200 spots, we will open the field to other “M-ish” (e.g. M-Performance models) cars of interest several days before the actual event so watch your email for a subsequent Around-the-Sound if we get to that point.
For those of us without M-Cars, it’s a good day to come out and see some very cool, and some very rare, M-cars owned by our friends and neighbors, as well as participate in our traditional raffle for BMW M-swag and car care items from Griots, BMW of Seattle, and BMW Northwest. We expect some new M-Cars to look at from BMW of Seattle and BMW Northwest as well. Griots also has a great facility to check out while you are there.
Please plan to roll in between 9:00 am–10:00 am so we can direct you to the appropriate section to park your M car. We’ll park the M cars by chassis type, so owners can compare notes.
Here is a rough agenda for the day:
- Griot’s Garage will provide each M car owner in attendance with a free Car Care Product sample at registration. There will also be discounts in the store, so bring your shopping list.
- There will be some morning refreshments.
- Around 11:00 am a Griot’s Garage car care specialist will pick a lucky car from the attendees for a car care demo in their garage.
- Around Noon, we’ll have the always popular raffle for some great prizes!
The event will run until about 1:00 pm. Club members without an M car are also welcome to attend the event to enjoy the day. There will be additional parking for non-M BMWs. Special thanks to BMW Northwest, BMW Seattle, and Griot’s Garage for their continued support of this event!
We will comply with whatever the current COVID-19 rules for the state are, so prepare accordingly. If you feel ill, please stay home and get well!
