Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Today was the Ultimate BMW Meeting at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, UK which is the UK's largest BMW gathering.

I popped along this morning and here are some of the photos from the event. A mix of everything from current and recent models, ///M, Alpina, modern classic, group classic and modified so I have tried to capture as many as possible. Hello once again to everyone I met!

Worth noting that there was a huge contingent from the E46 M3 CSL owners and E39 M5 owners.

Hope you enjoy!

My god those Alpinas! And the E39 M5’s….

F80DK · 04-30-2023, 12:17 PM

Thx. Nice shots! Love the E34 Alpina Bi-Turbo!

This must be a record of BMWs per square mile.

It was so nice to see E31 850i cars with (perhaps) V12 engine. These vehicle seem to be in perfect condition despite 3 decades of driving. Thanks for sharing!
