On May 19, 2018 more than 60 BMW’s lined their way across Waukesha’s beautiful Frame Park for Badger Bimmer’s 6th Annual E30 Picnic. The day began with partly cloudy conditions and 60 degrees. By the time lunch was served, the temperature had climbed to a comfortable 65 degrees. We had record breaking attendance of nearly 100 participants.
Many E30’s joined us ranging from M3, 318i, 318is, 325i, 325is, 325ix, along with multiple convertibles. A fine group of assorted BMW models also joined in the display area for the group to enjoy. BMW enthusiasts from across the state of Wisconsin and Illinois spent the morning showing off their stock standards and creative modifications.
I’d like to once again thank Badger Bimmers for providing a great lunch “spread” that no doubt added to the success of the event. Congratulations to our raffle recipient, John Straszewski , who won the 2018 Badger Bimmers BMWCCA Blackhawk Farms Raceway Drivers School and Safety Seminar Driving Event Certificate.
Special thanks to TJ Whorley for his event promotion through social media and the WI Bimmers Club. With his expertise and our Badger Bimmer Face Book page, we were able to reach out far and wide to many BMW enthusiasts to insure a very successful gathering.
I enjoyed our collective camaraderie and look forward to the next time we can all get together. Be sure to join us next year when we meet again to show, discuss, appreciate, and admire these incredible driving machines.
