///M Invasion. Charlotte, NC. Picture heavy.

Hello guys,

Next event date: June 4th. Fairlawn, NJ

What started out as a small thing, ended up being something really special.

I had the pleasure of being part of the ///M Invasion event and it was an amazing event.

About 10-12 of us drove from NYC, NJ & PA to Charlotte, NC for the weekend. Some just came for the weekend and left, which I thought was insane, but it shows how crazy and passionate we are. There were people who drove from Canada as well. About 300 cars were there.

GMP Performance was a great host. It really was an event about the enthusiasts and each person showcasing their builds. It was truly something special, and proud to be a part of it.

I personally drove from NJ. Left Thursday night and returned Monday morning. About 1300 mile round trip, and enjoyed every mile of it. Car is just unbelievable. I'm on H&R sport springs and 20" wheels, and didn't feel beat up. Pleasantly surprised.

Had a great time with the #mfam - without further ado, enjoy the pictures.

Next event location: still pending

Enjoy.

The intake is made by MSR. m6beast is the guy to contact. Owner and definitely the guy to talk to.

Thanks. It was a great event.

What a blast seeing all this cars in one place at the same time...couldn't have asked for better weather, either!

Blindside_137 · 03-01-2016, 04:15 PM

Unreal turnout.

I've loved atlantis blue ever since iND did their E92 build back in 2010, but it literally blew me away finally seeing it in person.

My personal favorite was getting to ride in an E92 M3 with ACM test pipes and Eisenmann race, that left more of an impression than anything else. Although, every F8x there was a show stopper.

edcvin · 03-01-2016, 04:45 PM

What a great combination of rides. I have been following some of the picture traffic via instagram. Can't wait to have my build done.

The look on your face after that ride

RD1M3 · 03-01-2016, 06:29 PM

Was an amazing turnout. Surreal to stand there watching the seemingly constant flow of cars showing up. I was very impressed with all of the out-of-town guys that came out, especially all of you NY/NJ/PA guys!! Major props to all of you for making the trip, in addition to the quality of your cars!

I'm still hoping a video from one of the drones before people started leaving will get posted somewhere, or some wide shots of the overall turnout.

That's what blew my mind the most.. How many of us from Nj/ny/pa made the trip. Incredible. The south boys showed us a great time.
I will be updating this thread with videos and wider pictures. Still collecting.

It was actually a great day to see all those cars, totally worth the trip out. Here's a picture of literally all the colors that were on my list minus Signal Green. They are great, but now I know what I'll be going with. Ok maybe like 98%

Now to choose the wheels......

It was nice meeting you. Hopefully that helped your decision with the car and exhaust setup
