Jay Haas' BMW M apparel

[misterlau]

anyone know where to get em?

I'm always seeing Jay Haas wearing M gear, especially those polos with the 'M' on the collar. Anyone know where to get these? I don't think they're available in the regular BMW catalog.

[Thrillhouse]

I think its just for sponsorship, not available in retail. as far as i know the only BMW stuff available is that BMW golfsport stuff they sell.

unless you have an ///M model, it is pointless to get and wear one..and i won't include an M3 in that category..haha

M3 is by far the fastest M on a track. Not to mention very expensive new. Not sure how it wouldn't be included. The 1M is a fantastic car and a ton of fun to drive.

From a pure driving perspective I'd take an e30 or e36 M3 over any other BMW ever made.

[Ti-Cip]

dunno about that,, i'd take an M6 over an M3 any day of the week..

[MrTitleist2U]

And I will smoke either of you in my Dinan M5...ANY day.

[iteachgolf]

I said on a track and as a pure driver. My daily driver is a E60 and have driven plenty of fast cars. Give me a f355 over an M5 or M6 any day. M6 is slowest car in its class and an R8 would blow it out of the water.

Hate to break it to you but on a road course a $10,000 E36 M3 would dust your dinan m5.

[DigDugDig]

Gotta agree with iteach, great around a track and the S50B30 and S50B32 (DUAL VANOS) are badazz engines to boot.

[freed0m]

I'm down with running my E63 M6 (RPi) with you guys
I'll end up in the back but it'll be fun as h3ll.

Your E63 M will be right in front of my summer car, a Fiero GT (with an L67 swap).

could also try bimmerworld.com

[kitsoasis]

M3 and M5 are clearly the two flagship M models in the BMW lineup.

 

Please do a bit of research about the M3 before you post.

There are 2 camps of people. The BMW purists and the people who lease the latest and most expensive models to show off. M3/M5 are the true M's. I'm not sure about M5 but all you will ever see in touring car races are M3's and the 3 series chassis. So to say that the M3 shouldn't be in that category shows which camp you're in. You probably wouldn't know what an E30 M3 look like.

[iteachgolf]

M5 is slow on a track. An e36 328i with mild suspension would beat an m5. In touring races all you will see are 1 and 3 series, many of which are e30 and e36s. I plan on building an e30 with a s50 or e36 m3 as a track car.

[CosmosMpower]

The Ring Taxi at the Nurburgring uses the E60 M5 and the new F10 M5 will destroy any E30/E36 on an open road course. E30/E36 is better for autocross and short tight road courses.

This coming from a former E36 M3 owner and current E92 335i owner that has raced (road course and autocross) with BMWCCA for 10 years. The fastest BMW's are usually the highly modded E46 M3's (AST shocks, camber plates, 18X10 wheels, 285 tires) and the E36 M3's modified similarly are 1-2 seconds slower a lap. But my supercharged Elise kills them all

[iteachgolf]

Elise is a ton of fun. I almost bought an Evora 2+2. I decided I want to keep my E60 and looking for the perfect F355. For whatever reason that has been my dream car for a long time. Not sure I'd track it though.

Not sure I'd track either to be honest but out of the 2 I'd pick the Evora. F355 is a maintenance nightmare already for street driving and start beating on it on track and it will add up very quickly. I'd save up a few more $ and get a 360 if you go the F car route. Gallardo's are also under 100 now.

355 is more enjoyable to drive than a 360 to me. 360 seems awkwardly wide to me from the drivers position. I know a 355 isn't cheap at all to maintain, but let's face it people don't buy F cars for rational reasons.

I miss my M5.......................

[Ti-Cip]

so besides the fact that most guys on wrx drive it well over 300+ yds on the fly, now a majority drive m5's and m6's??? haha ..........

come on,, before you all start flaming,, can't you take a joke..

[drifter12]

Not sure if you're making this judgement based on price tag, but if so that is not the right measure. The M3 is the M model with the most heritage and cred in terms of racing pedigree. I've had the pleasure of attending the M driving school in South Carolina twice, and drove the M3 (e92), M5 (e60) and M6 (e63). My favorite round the track was the M3, followed by the M5 and then M6. That said they were all great cars in their own right. The M6 left a lot to be desired interior-wise IMO, and we saw a glitch with the traction control a couple time in it which is partly why I put it last.

As of right now the current e92/90 M3 is really the quintessential M. I'm looking forward to driving the F10 M5 next month as it's numbers are very impressive, but which will be more fun round track we'll see.

[mljones99]

How about taking this pissing contest to a BMW forum....

[drifter12]

didn't mean to steer this topic off track, just wanted to clarify potential misconception. Ti-cip, no harm done

to the OP, this isn't exactly what you're looking for but the motorsport apparel in online here:
http://www.shopbmwusa.com/ProductList.aspx?CategoryId=225

polos and other apparel are given/sold at a lot of driving and promo events by BMW and partner sponsors so the Bay would be another place to look.

credentials maybe,, but heritage?? the m6 was originally produced in 1983, m5 in '85 ans the m3 in '86. looks alone, the 2010 m6 is hands down awesome!!

[drifter12]

depends on how you look at it. the M6 had a 16 year hiatus btwn the E24 and E63 and that doesn't convey heritage to me the way the M3's unbroken line does. BMW's decision to put the M5's V10 into 6 and call it a M6 had more to do with reviving a classic just to make money IMO. they'll be doing the same thing again in next year's M6 - but don't get me wrong as the Ms really are all great cars.

[ben w]

as someone who's actually built, raced, and owned many M models, this thread is hysterical!

for the apparel, go to any decent BMW dealership, it's in the parts area.
