Week 1: BMW of the Week

Last week we launched our most recent innitiative on bringing the BMW and BMWBLOG community even closer. To accomplish this, we setup a BMWBLOG Group page on the popular photo sharing site, Flickr.com, and we asked you, our readers, to submit your BMW photos. Despite the fact that it was a soft launch and without much buzz around it, our group received over 130 photos from people all over the world and most important, with so many distinctive BMW models, from old school bimmers to the more modern ones.

As we promised back then, every week, we will choose one car to be featured in our articles and the criteria will be very diversified, one week we might focus on BMW history, other week on the best photo and so on and so forth. In my opinion, everyone will have a chance to have their  car featured at one point since we will be going back each week and scan through all the photos. Yes yes, we know, lots of work, but I believe it is worth it. As far as we’re concern, we can already see the benefit of this BMWBLOG photo group since we have had the opportunity to see some great cars out there.

So…..the BMW of this week….is actually a whole group of bimmers who belong to Christiaan Conover and Chris Wilkinson. He shared with us his collection of BMWs and it was a tough call to choose the best one, from the classy and still beautiful 1974 BMW 2002, to one of the most amazing Ms ever built, 1987 E24 M6 and 1992 E36 325iS.

Next week, we’ll go back to the pool and pick another bimmer, so feel free to keep submitting the photos. We also hope that you appreciate this initiative of bringing our readers together and most important, to share the beauty of our cars.
