Hey everyone, I’m excited and I have a feeling once you hear about the project that’s underway you’ll be just as excited as me, too. About 2 months ago an idea sparked up in my head - and I acted on it. But before I go into more detail I want one thing to be clear: we are here for you - the enthusiast and all around car lover.
One thing that has always been clear to me is ‘car guys’ (and girls) in general are a tight knit group. When it comes to me, I don’t care what kind of vehicle we’re talking about but if it has 4 wheels, makes cool noises, and puts a smile on my face, it moves me (literally and figuratively)…isn’t that what’s it’s all about?
That’s why I put together this blog. In a joint effort between Germain BMW and BimmerSchwag this has become a reality and I couldn’t be happier to see it brought to life.
My vision for the site goes something like this: I want the community to have a resource for all sorts of various information and entertainment. Everything from tech specs to awesome videos. This site shouldn’t be confused with a forum, though - as it’s not intended to be - if anything it’s here to both compliment them and organize the information (all of which is cited directly to the source). Think of it like a collectively assembled comprehensive resource established for your needs and wants. You know all of those golden threads tucked away in the archives that we inevitably search for when we need to do an install or need to find a bit of reliable information? I’m tired of searching Google and multiple forums only to find broken links and outdated posts. I want this to be the solution to that. Yeah, that’s what I hope this can become (with your help)! That’s what I love about our community. We’re always willing to help out another car guy/girl…especially a bimmerphile.
How we’re going to do this: between myself, the community, and a few very knowledgeable friends (a whole shop full of BMW master technicians), the site will start to take form. But here’s the thing - I want your help. I want you to be a part of this. I want this site to ooze BMW and the camaraderie that we all know and love. I’m just one small piece to this blue and white puzzle…
What you can look forward to: Photoshoots, DIYs, Technical Specs (for as many models as possible), part number compilations for projects, BMW related news (that’s worth reading), exclusive prices on parts and many more things (hopefully plenty of your ideas, too)…really a general hub for you guys.
Over the next few weeks there will be TONS of content added. If you’d like to be part of this process, big or small, please feel free to email me anytime - my email address is david@bimmerschwag.com. I frequent a few forums and we all know the talent and wit that is exchanged daily…so I know what this website can be. Excited yet?
-David A
