I'm almost in Iowa: my house is 10 miles north of the border, in Fairmont, Minnesota. I get down to DSM every now and then.

NE Des Moines, almost Altoona.

I won't take a picture of mine right now, it's filthy. All of my other pictures are on a different computer. I'll try and post 1 later.

that was the problem when I had my bimmer, no one on e46fanatics lived in iowa, the closest guy live in council bluffs I believe. So there was no opportunity really for a meet.

But there is definitely potential here we got a good 4 guys that live within probably a 20 mile radius of each other, and some that are just a short drive away. A meet would be nice, even nicer if we had pro 0' temperatures more frequently.

lol was Great Lakes the closest category?

I used to live in polk city, saylorville was my back yard basically. A photoshoot wouldnt be a bad idea, my digicam wouldnt cut it tho. A BBQ would be pretty sweet, weather would have to allow it tho. Especially since all our cars are RWD, dont know how good the roads out to saylorville get cleaned.

Cruise would be cool if we can get a good sized group together, is there a midwest thread that Chicago, and KC, St. Paul, all those other cities post in?

ok so after many brain things inside my head here are my ideas... we could have a meet this spring sometime when its nicer out, say march or april, so weather shouldnt be a problem, at a saylorville rec area, a photoshoot on top of the damn or something cool like that, a cruise somewhere we will all be seen, and maybe later on this summer it would be friggin' sweet if we could all meet up again then cruise to chi-town and meet up with chi-town CL members and we could invade h.i.n or battle of the imports there, what are everyones thoughts on that?

Im down for whatever- I do think meeting out at saylorville for some pics and to hang would be pretty fun- and im always down for a cruze to chicago- have a blast everytime im there- but yea when the weather warms up in the next month or two we are most defenatly gonna have to meet up- im not sure really of any for sure dates yet but i can work around whatever is best for everyone else- but i know last minute stuff comes up all the time- so i mean whatever dates people have open - we can set something up - maybe rent a shelter- ill go buy some steaks and some brews(or soda) whatever- cruze to the dam and take some pics by the spill way- whatever people want to do but yea we should try to set something up as far as a cruze to HIN and rent some hotel rooms or something- i know alot of chi-town, KC CL members are gonna be there -
