Picture of your M5 stuck in your driveway contest!

RPiM5 · 09-24-2012, 01:17 PM

Ok everybody in an effort to lift the spirits of everyone who now can't drive their M5 because of the bad oil pump issue, I have decided that I am starting an official contest of who can post the best picture of their M5 stuck in their driveway or at the lot in their dealership or for those people who did European Delivery and can't drive their M5's anyway because it is stuck on the boat, post your best picture of the M5 while on Euro Delivery.

Here's the contest rules and requirements:

1. Picture must be of your M5 stuck in your driveway or garage.
2. Or picture must be of your M5 stuck in the lot at the dealership.
3. Or picture must be of your M5 standing still during your European Delivery Trip.
4. You can't vote for your own picture.
5. Only 1 picture submission per member.
6. Extra consideration will be given to those who come up with some imaginative shots. Like putting girls with bikini's, pets, funny objects, funny signs, or whatever, in the shot with your M5.

The contest will end when BMW gives us the OK to drive our M5's again, that is when the oil pumps have been replaced. So this should last for about a month I guess.

The voting will be done by all Bimmerpost members in this thread. If you are voting for a particular picture, just quote the post that you would like to vote on and put a +1 as a response.

Towards the end of the contest, I will pick the top 10 pictures and start another thread called "Final M5 stuck in your driveway picture contest voting POLL" with 10 POLL Options for final community voting. (I think we can do 10 Poll Options right? Maybe the Moderators can help on this.) The community will then be able to use the POLL system to vote for their favorite picture out of the top 10.

At the end of the contest when BMW finally fixes our M5's, we will determine a winner by the results of the final voting polls by bimmerpost members themselves. I will then contact the winner and get their email address and personally paypal them $100 dollars. So yes there is a real prize involved here. You can use the money to buy that first mod for your M5 or to buy cleaning supplies or whatever you want!

The point of the contest is to take our mind off of this unfortunate oil pump situation and show that we are a good community who can have fun with our M5's even though we can't drive them.

I will post the first picture, but it is of a rolling shot and won't count. It is a picture I found thanks to another Bimmerpost member of me driving my M5 during Euro Delivery on the Nurburgring.

Let's get this started people and lets have some fun here!

Glad you have a sense of humor about it

So what is happening for those who did euro delivery today? Do they even bring the M5's up to the 2nd floor for you to look at?

Oh come on....
I was just kidding.

Front bumper says it is, I was going for the humor points.
Funny thing is I think this car probably has a good oil pump.

Just trying to lighten the mood and thank you for your effort in doing the same.

Dam - I didn't know you could get the vinyl roof option on the M5!
