Day 3. BMW Museum
 

At the M - Chappel :notworthy: of BMW Motor Sport greatest hits :drool::drool::drool:
Apologies for no E30 M3 contents :smt053 Totally smitten with the E9 CSL :smt055 & the E46 GTR :supz:

Super photos - dont apologise, I have an E9 fetish too - amongst others :whistle:

Nice pics Matt :supz:

Day 3. BMW Museum
 

THANX John... your pix aren't too bad either :wink: :hahaha: Dare I ask about others ? :-D
Right, back to pix... some random :whistle: engines scattered about the place :wink:

so Alexk did pop the bonnet of the GTR :)

Day 4. M-Studio outside Munich
 

Was it just me ? ...or did anyone else NOT see our beloved CSL mentioned much (at all) during the M-Video presentation :smt017
I, for one had high hopes of seeing an actual Prototype Cecil in 1:1 scale there in metal :whistle:
The E9X M3 UTE with a one off removable tow bar (no less) was V. COOL though :thumbs:

He most certainly did... :smokin:

Day 4. BMW Driving Academy, Maisach, near Munich
 

The Original Cecil :smt055 :drool: :notworthy:

Day 4. BMW Driving Academy, Maisach, near Munich
 

If only BMW ignored the case study from the US market :banghead: and listened to it's UK/EURO clients instead :banghead:
What initially appeared to be an E46 CSL concept from a distance, turned out to be this !!!
Beg, steal or borrow, I would have bought this in a heart beat :thumbs: E46 M3 Sports Wagon anyone ? :smt055

Cheers Robster :beer: more pix to follow tomorrow... :whistle:

Can't believe you guys managed to open the M3 GTR bonnet! :hahaha:

Thank you for the pictures Matt; it was nice meeting you.

Cheers,
Alex

Of course we opened the GTR bonnet !
I found a person from the museum, I explained him the addiction to the M3 GTR and he helped me to open it :beer:
Finally a cool guy working for BMW !

You and me both Matt, I've even contemplated building one myself, but my lack of practical knowledge and the necessary expertise tells me otherwise.
There is however a UK company that does an M3 Touring Conversion, but it isn't cheap. After seeing the pics, I'll have to look it up again.:thumbs:

Was Louis Spence on the trip ? :wink:

We did ask one of the staff @ the Museum nicely ;)

You're welcome :-D good to meet you too Alex :thumbs:

:thumbs: ...but lets not forget Roland ;)

Yes... he was asking about you :whistle:

Day 4. On route to Salzburg
 

Right... back to the pix :-D
How do you go about emptying a fuel station ? I hear you all ask ;)

Day 4. On route to Salzburg
 

Here's a great shot :thumbs: by James from Munich Legends of my old Cecil, heading for the Alps :supz:

Ha ha - love the CSL fuel station !

Move along :whistle: nothing to see here :wink:

Day 5. AC Schnitzer RACE cars
 

McLaren F1 GTR :supz:

Great pics matt.well published

Day 5. AC Schnitzer RACE cars
 

As if 6,000,000 EURO worth of McLaren F1 GTR wasn't enough, the ACS guys rolled out this La Mans winning car just for us :beer: BMW V12 LMR :smokin:

Day 5. AC Schnitzer RACE cars
 

The BMW V12 LMRs CF air box is an indirect relative of out Cecil's CF air box. BMW did a case study of this race car's air box after the car won La Mans :thumbs:
Incidentally, both Cecil's & the V12 LMR's CF air boxes are made by the one and the very same manufacturer, for BMW :smokin:

Day 5. Still @ AC Schnitzer RACE cars
 

THANX mate... here's the final instalment for tonight... more tomorrow :-D

Pix of the main man himself, Charly Lamm, chatting away with CSLR members :thumbs:

I love that. Pretty much every engine I saw over the weekend was naturally aspirated and had a stonking great carbon airbox attached. If you were ever in doubt of the engineering pedigree....not now. No gimmicks here.

:thumbs: :supz: :notworthy:

Day 5. Kehlsteinhaus aka Eagle's Nest
 

Slightly off the beaten track ;) but the drive up there & back via Rossfeld was worth it alone :smokin:

Cracking photos there Matt! Love the one in my glasses! may have pinched a few as desktops!

Good pics there Matt:thumbs:
