E36 M3: Best Handling Car in America Poster.. called BMW NA...

[M3 Zealot Mike]

I called BMW NA this afternoon to see if i could get this poster at BMW's branch in Westwood,NJ ((201)-307-4000)

After i talked with the woman, she said she would check and call me back, but she forgot to do so. During our conversation she said that there is another BMW office in NJ that could be of more help to me. I will call again tomorrow morning.

My question to you guys who have had success by calling BMW NA is... which branch did you call, and what was the number?

TIA

[Kevlar]

If I remember correctly, I believe it was the one in NJ that I called.

[C.Yang]

can you guys post a pic of that poster. I think I wanted to get it a while back, but forgot what it looks like. thanks.

[M3 Zealot Mike]

There we go!

[Ben H]

I don't know which number I called, but it was the customer service number. The operator looked for the poster and called me back and mailed it to my house. I haven't seen it yet since I'm away at college, but I'm pretty sure I got the right poster. I gave the number to my friend and he said they were out of them or couldn't find them.

Good Luck

I haven't had time to get a proper frame yet... this is the ghetto frame edition from the corner store for $15.

[C.Yang]

All I can say is that poster is sick. How much it cost?

I got two (one for me... one for the GF) free of charge.

[M3 Zealot Mike]

Yea i agree - that poster is awesome!
I'll let you guys know inventory status when i call back tomorrow.

[jww///95]

Just tell bmw na that we probally have a great enough interest to put these posters back into print....

too bad it will never happen...

[SlickM3]

I have a cool poster of a tit silver E36 M3... below the car it says:
<b>"BFGoodrich when you're ready to get serious".</b>

I'd been asking for it at the WalMart service center for several weeks. (No, I don't have the M3 "serviced" there... just the land barge minivan).

My girlfriend just went in on my birthday, and nicely asked to speak to the store mgr... then brought the poster to me.

[C.Yang]

maybe we can do a group buy on the poster! lol

[mrclam]

i tried calling the number on the poster several different times and each time the person tells me they don't have it in stock. anyone have a phone number i can use to call? thanks =)

[Andrew in Atlanta]

Called BMW NA Customer Service. They said they would look. They called back the next day and told me they didn't know what I was talking about (WTF? How hard can it be). They told me to check with my local dealerships (HA!). Oh well. If anyone has any luck please email me the number and person you talked to. If you've got the picture how about trying a HI res pic with your digital camera (take the flask off or you'll get glare).

Thanks,
Andrew

[M3 Pete]

They don't make the E36 any more (yes, i know you all know that), but for that reason, they have no incentive to pay someone to print more posters.

But if you find one, I'll take one.

[MrDaVinci]

...5 years later BUMP, Whats with this poster anybody has a picture????

[m3j0n]

if you find them, ill take at least one :).

[mobil1]

Holy old thread batman...

But here you go:

[95DinanM3]

OMG, thats a sick fool poster. If someone could find one, I would be eternally grateful.

[Bav///Man]

anyone have a high res?

[mr12v]

I'll take two

[Vrooom]

LOL I don't have the poster, but I actually have the issue of Car and Driver in which it got the greatest handling car at any price title.

Which was cool until your first autocross and you found out the car had significant terminal understeer! (BTW, I don't believe the car won any of the comparison handling tests, but it won the overall handling comparison on the overall manner in which it handled).

[ComBIRDable]

If I remember correctly, the M3 won because it is so forgiving that any fool could drive it fast. (I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it.)

Still, I enjoy my M3, understeer and all.

[TboneM3]

Word.

[SleepRM3]

Wow and this rave review is with the stock staggered wheel/tire fitment. The E36 M3 ('96 to '99) handles MUCH BETTER with 8.5s and 235/40-17s all around!

[GUINNESS]

What I would love is if someone could find the e36 M3 GTR pic where the phrase is, To our fans it's [something] To the competition, it's the same story. Then it lists all the wins for the past years.

[TheM3nsah]

[dawgeatdawg]

I would also love a high res version for my desktop.

I searched for a while to find it. It had some wear around the edges, but after the professional framing job, I think it looks great!! :buttrock

[gelb3]

I like this one myself.....

[GreenBeem93]

One went on ebay 6 months ago for 140 dollars....booya!!!

[jdehaan]

Is BMW the only place that would have these posters, or could a private poster retailer maybe have them? Anyone look there?

That is how I found the M3 GTR picture above. I searched on the internet, found it, ordered it, and payed to have it professionally framed.

Took a little while to find, but it was worth it!!

[Xiphos]

It also says "New for 97" on the poster haha.

[shellback]

Nice! But those posters shoud be framed, not tacked on the wall.

[bmwaddicted49]

man, if someone has a hi res version of ANY of these... you better now be holding out on us!!

i would love to have some cool posters like that, but not for 140 bucks!

Meh... It's a bargain at $140... :D

[DoTheEvolutionM]

by far the best saying from any ad that bmw has done (even though it was a z3 ad) is "happiness is not around the corner, happiness is the corner"

[jerseyAMD]

More than 4yrs later, I still like this thread ...lol

[tejawxyz]

Does anyone have this one?

[Reprisal]

Holy old thread....

http://www.autotrend.com/pic/9435.jpg

I'd probably call, but this place apparently has it for sale...

http://www.autotrend.com/bmwlist.html

Anyone have a good scan of the 'Best Handling' E36 poster? I doubt there's any place that would have it.

[AngryWhopper]

Wow old thread indeed..

I would love to have a few of those posters. I have the original Car and Driver magazine where the E36 M3 was called the best handling car... I wish i had this poster on my wall :(

Don't know what the odds of him replying are.

This is back when Kevlar was active in the E36 forum.

[KimoSabe]

I have a few reprints. PM or email me. 35"x26" in poster stock paper. 40.00 shipped.

Note defect: Fog light image is doubled up on M3.

I'd be all over it if it wasn't screwed up.

[Powermidget]

I tried to buy the one hanging in my local dealership and they said no. I would totally get one of these if you still have any....tried to PM but dont have sufficient status. Let me know!

A dealership that won't take your money? I don't believe that for a second :stickoutt

[Powermidget]

They have all the sick posters since the 70's. Said they moved them all from their old location so they wanted to keep them. They did give me a free E46 4-door poster with the M3 comp wheels.

Honda prelude SH got better score than Porsche 911 s? no way...sounds like so much bias in that review. I love my E36 M3, but that poster is unrealistic :)
