pics from BMW VDC in Oxnard, Ca.

Damn there were a lot of BMWs there. Must have seen at least 8 Z8s, 30-40 M3s, 20 M5s, 300 X5s, and a thousand other BMWs.

that's a 275/40/20 stock, the rear has 315/35/20s

would you like a ziploc bag for your car?

Z8s all come in to the US like this.

lots of BMWs

M34ever- It is BMW's Vehicle Distribution Center in Oxnard. This is where all BMW's bound for west coast dealers go first.

Every M car has its oil changed before going on to the dealer.

another shot of Tuna Canyon

For those who don't know, Tuna canyon is small stretch of road in the Malibu canyons. It is One way for the last two miles, all downhill. When it goes one way it is only a car and a half width wide. There are cement barriers on the outside of increasing radius turns that drop 10-15 feet within the corner. The barriers are there to keep you from going off the road and down a steep hillside. If you ever have the chance, take a run down it, just make sure your brakes are up to the challenge. They will be smoking and you will smell them at the end of the run. Some of the staights you can reach 65 before having to stomp on them to take a 10-15 mph corner.
