snap 3,826 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 This is a scavenger hunt of sorts. Your task is to find an E34 on google street view. It can be any country, any color, just needs to be an E34 you find on Google Street View. Post a screenshot or link (preferably both). First one to find it decides what to find next (LSB M3, ghetto looking BMW, BMW with visible rust, BMW parked the wrong direction, BMW with the top down, BMW within a certain city or state etc etc etc). It can be your own car if it fits the criteria and its on Street View (aerial images dont count, a Lada looks the same as an M3 from that vantage point) You can feel free to make choices non-BMW related, but I think there are probably plenty of variations of things to find when you lock yourself down to one near and dear manufacturer. If you do decide to lock the game down to a certain region/area, check to make sure street view is available there (it isnt available for the Nurburgring for example) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

straight6pwr 1,344 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 yeah, this could be pretty challenging and definitely fun. Ben needs to pick the follow up search. my e34s didnt show up at any of my residences in street view. i did find some images where there is clearly a leaf stuck on the street view camera blocking the view lol. 1 snap reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took the mini dealer route starting in cali but couldnt get to any back lots. here was my path: mini dealers in milwaukee, chicago, los angeles than gave up on dealerships. then to the mini plant, which was was in oxford which reminded me i should probably look in london, 3 dealerships later had the mini in the window!

m42b32 687 Report post Posted February 13, 2016 Damn!! I've been wandering the virtual streets of Munich for like 2 hours with no luck. I did see an e30 touring, a couple e30 verts, an e36 touring, and a million 318ti's so it wasn't necessarily time wasted... Edit: I should add I wasn't doing just this for 2 hours, but... I should also say I really want to go back to Munich now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
