I haven't had the chance to go, can someone be so kind to post pics from the show?

I believe the 1M coupe is being shown there as well.
Anyone planning to go Sunday?

We went yesterday, huge disappointment overall. The 1 M was there and I was not very impressed, like a one series with some M badges stuck on it. Not saying I wouldn't want to drive one, I'm sure it's a fun car, just doesn't do anything for me.....it was locked and behind ropes so didn't get to see the interior so no comment on that. One thing I was really surprised with was no HID's. Ruins the whole front end IMO.

Most impressive car I saw was the CTS-V coupe and wagon. That should tell you something about how it went.

You know there was a CTS-V test drive there right? They actually let you drive the vehicles as hard as you wanted too.

I enjoyed seeing the new 1 M , especially after all the internet hype. Agree that I wish the 1 M had HIDs for headlights though, but thought overall the car looked fantastic. The new 6 series coupe/convertible was there as well, but I wasn't that impressed w/ it.

The Washington DC car show overall was "ok", but it was better than last year.

I have to agree, the show was a let down. The 1M did not get the appropriate showing it should. First impression of the 1M -

The red m3 was zcp with a sun roof, they couldn't even muster up some kind of special M3, I think it's more a reflection on the dc auto show - the bike show sucked too.

Ford brought their A game though. Great engine display nested in the back.
