Bimmer INVASION 2023 Car Show | We Filmed (Almost) Every Car!
Almost two weeks later and I finally finished compiling all of the footage from Bimmer Invasion 2023. It really was an awe-inspiring show of beautiful cars, amazing builds, and I am already excited for next year's event. Surprisingly, the drive back home from Orlando, completed in one go; not as grueling as I thought it would be.
Besides seeing all of the wild builds, we met some truly remarkable people. Among them was Rusty Johnson, and his incredible E46 M3 built by Craig Lieberman. I'm saving that story for this Sunday's Talk & Drive, along with other stories from the trip and show. On a side note, it was crazy seeing the Kies G80 in person. I've watched so many videos of that car and Kies Motorsports videos in general, it was like meeting a celebrity (the car I mean, we didn't meet Bryan or Zach).
As for this video.. yeah it's a bit long. Here's the thing, I wanted to shoot as many cars as possible and I think I got most of them, but then figured: who am I to decide which cars should be shown in the video? Why not show them all? Granted it's pretty much what I've done with the other car shows I've filmed, but this is probably the biggest one yet next to Shades of the Past.
Speaking of which, I wanted to include more audio from the show as I think it gives the viewer a more realistic idea of what it's like to be there with the crowds and music, but last time I did that (with Shades of the Past) I got copyright strikes because of the music coming over the PA systems so, thanks douchebag litigious bots - ruin it for everyone.
I also wanted to make it a little more vlog style and include parts from before and after show. There were some missed opportunities; I wish we'd mounted to GoPro to the outside of the car and maybe got a bit more random footage, but I'm happy with how this all came out thoroughly enjoyed the experience of Bimmer Invasion.
The timeline for the cars is a little out of order, but I tried to group it by sections of the park instead of a linear flow so there's the outside cars, cars up front and near the vendor tents, inside Dezerland Park and then in the VIP room (I guess that's what it was called).
Also, a MAJOR thank you to Carely and her daughter Lilly for generously providing the footage from the exhaust and burnout competitions. I couldn't get a good spot by the time the events were happening, but they were right up front and were nice enough to share the videos they took.
Pretty cool quick note on that: we were simultaneously filming the exhaust competition (unbeknownst to either of us since we were strangers - her right up front and me from behind a bunch of people) so I spliced the footage together and matched the audio so it looks like we were able to switch camera angles for a moment.
Anyway, hell of a trip and a huge thank you to the Invasion crew for a very well organized show. Hope you enjoy the footage.

Went viral with this video. Congrats. I guess we can count on you coming next year. Lol. Thanks for the good comments team Bimmer Invasion
Thanks man.. you guys put on a model show. See you next year indeed 🍻
When you see an F8x next to the G8x it’s when you can really appreciate older BMW designs
I'll admit I loved the G8X way more when I saw it in person, but I'm still more of an F8X guy.
@@jgo.m3 ă
You did the hard work and here we are enjoying it. All subs to you man!
Really appreciate that bro. Glad you enjoyed 👍
Well done mate
Thanks so much bro; I'm pretty floored by the positive responses to this video. Appreciate you checking it out 🙏
Love the movie man, spotted my car @ 52:20 :)
LOVE your E46 brother! Especially love the vanity plate 🍻
@@jgo.m3 Thanks bro, gotta love Seinfeld! 🍻
One in a million shot, doc. One in a million.
My Red E36 M3! Love the Video
Thanks! That you at @ 18:05 ? If so, love it 🙌
Props to you dude, killer video.
Thanks brother, appreciate you checking it out 🙏
thanks for the 48:18 !
Haha anytime brother. Nice car! 🍻
Great video and quality man!! Ty for showing the cars specially mine!! Regards from FL dr.dm3 ✌🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🏻👊🏻
Thanks brother! Really enjoyed meeting you and getting a close up of your car. Absolutely beautiful build. 🙌🙌
@@jgo.m3 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻
Sic. Excellent job, yo. Every whip was unique. Bimmerheads, THE best car culture 2nd to none.🙌🏽 (E36,E46,E60)
Thanks brother, really appreciate that and 100% agree the BImmer community is the best. 👍
Hope the v10 win that Rev contest. Great sounding engine . BMW for life !😂
That car was a beast! Pretty sure the E30 won though (which was also pretty wild).
All the videos that I watched on bimmer invasion 2023 your video is by far the best and most detailed, well done 💯🤘🏻❤️
Thanks so much, I really appreciate the comment. Wasn't sure anyone was going to be into such a long video but I'm glad you enjoyed! 👍
@@jgo.m3 it was amazing, by the way the music choice in video was on point … well done 💯🤘🏼❤️
@@Top_g80comp Thanks again brother! Yeah I figured for this long of a segment of cars, the music needed to have some variety. It took awhile, but I’m happy with how it came out. Glad you liked it. 🙏
definitely iam going next year and good video excellent
Thank you! It's well worth the trip brother.
lol spotted myself parking you! haha
Haha nice! Appreciate you getting us in place 🍻
Not enough SUVs. Not enough Alpina's. Not enough 7 Series. Not enough time spent videoing that BMW pickup. Interesting video still 😎👍.
haha thanks man. I'll admit, I regret not getting a full 360 around that DinMann pickup.
Cool video , really love the filming of the several parked BMWs . Improve on your music though, it could be more interesting with better selection of instrumentals playing in the background
Thanks for checking it out man; I appreciate the feedback 🙏
Good video bro, I caught my car at 1:01:14
My brother in Christ that is one insanely beautiful M5 you have 🙌 appreciate you checking out the video! 👍
@@jgo.m3 Thank you, not quite done with it but its getting there
Hay can please upload this video in 4k🙏
Sorry man, shot this one in 1080p; my camera crops 4k video. Might try a wider lens for future shots to get 4k though until I upgrade cameras.
Most of the cars look stock. There's not really much modifications going on except for new wheels and lowering springs. This may sound cruel but it seems as though the Florida folks did not have enough money to spend on mods and customization. No comparison to the Los Angeles Beamer invasion cars
You are looking for F80 or G80 with 30inch spinning wheels, paint job with 20 different colors and glitter? In FL we not go that way.. 😂😂 sorry…!
What’s the song/best name @ 16:00

13:09 these rims looks not good on this
Too many f80 need more 5 series and x3m
There were a lot of F80s but I didn't mind.. although I might be biased, lol. The M5 in the rev competition was a monster.
Nice, but they all look the same. Give me 70’s 2002 any day.
The dedication! I’m in the market for an f80 m3 now and recently stumbled across your channel! Lovin the content from what I’ve watched thus far🫱🏾🫲🏼
Thanks so much man, really appreciate that! Lots more coming soon 🤘 I can’t recommend the F80 enough; it’s such a fantastic machine. Hope you find yours bro 🍻
