I didn't see an E30 M3.

Did it arrive very late or was it hidden somewhere ?
It was hidden in one of the side car parks, not the multi storey. It was debadged and sprayed in a kind of Porsche Riviera blue so I wasn't actually sure if it was an M3!

Hi All,

Echoing the others thanking PH and BMW for a well organised event, hospitality was spot on and the array of cars made it an epic start to 2016's Sunday Services. I missed a few cars that left quite early, but found some time to take a stroll with the camera. Short snippets can be found below:

Great Morning out! big thank you to Ollie and the others from PH - the Staff at BMW were very friendly, helpful and didn't seem worried about the amount of people clambering over their cars!

the noise of the GTS was very impressive - one of the best ive heard.

good to put some faces to names.

Santorini blue I think? Looks good, although prefer the wheels in a darker shade myself.

Really enjoyable morning, been waiting to go back to BMW HQ for a while, great hospitality, many thanks PH & BMW. A few of my pics, noticed that the Z3M was conspicuous by it's absence, a bit of a shame. Waiting for some long sleeve T-shirts to go in the PH shop too!

Really enjoyed Yesterday. Surprisingly so did the GF. She's not the biggest fan of cars. She's a right embarrassment walking straight in to a sign and stumbling on the floor next to the 7 series rofl

Thanks to BMW for having a great display of cars to view and to PH for organising it.

Sorry, I took my old nail of a 205 GTI instead of the Z3M! It is still hibernating until March and is Sorn. I can confirm that 50 "motorway" miles is hard work in a stripped out, old french turd, I forgot my earplugs too!

It really was a great morning, the grub, the cars, the people, the access BMW provided, the weather. As someone mentioned earlier, the bar is set pretty high now.

Great event yesterday. Well worth the trip.

Shame the i8 wrapped in red was not in the main display (assume it was a BMW not customer car) as it looked amazing.

Well done BMW..

Great.
Thank you PH and BMW.
Nicely put, sir.

Have to admit whilst I liked the M2, it didn't do anything for me, especially when up against a Ferrari red M3. The interior is a bit of let down too, in particular the seats.

Just wow to the M4 GTS though, what a car!

Was it Ferrari red or Imola red?

I thought it was Imola.

Some short vids of the (I think) M4 GTS revving up:

And the Mini race car which sounded like a massive vacuum cleaner:
