We started planning our open house months in advance — gathering a killer assortment of cars from our friends in the area, preparing some of our newly refurbished buildings for guests, and lining up food trucks. We thought we had everything covered. Mother Nature, of course, had other plans.
Rain or shine, the faithful showed up
Despite some early-morning rain, the BMW community turned out in force. By 10 AM the lot was packed, and the weather became little more than a footnote to a day that reminded us exactly why we do this. There is nothing quite like a few hundred enthusiasts and their cars sharing the same space for an afternoon.
What made the day
- Over 150 BMWs in attendance, from pristine E30 M3s to the latest G8X models
- Food trucks keeping everyone fed throughout the day
- Behind-the-scenes tours of our restoration and rejuvenation facility
- Special displays of the current projects on our shop floor
- Hours of conversation between owners, builders, and first-time visitors
Why we open our doors
EAG is, at its core, a community. The open house is our chance to step out from behind the shop doors and spend time with the people who make this hobby what it is. Seeing a young enthusiast light up next to a car they have only ever seen online — that is the whole point.
Walking the rows of cars, you could trace four decades of BMW history in a single parking lot. Every generation was represented, and every owner had a story about how they found their car, what they have done to it, and where they plan to take it next.
Thank you
Events like this are the reason we do what we do. To everyone who braved the weather to join us — thank you.
We cannot wait to do it again next year. In the meantime, if you would like to see what we are working on, take a look at our services or stop by the shop in Cincinnati.
