Gauging interest in a Z 2016 Calendar

Cyclops · 11-22-2015, 07:56 PM

Putting together a 2016 E85/E86 calendar for myself has been on my mind for awhile now so I thought and see if there is community interest to make one for the group. My thought was to have everyone submit their favorite photos (ones you took) similar to Picture of the Month, I'd set up a poll and the 12 shots with the highest counts get printed. Now to make it fair we'd have to come up with some rules, categories and criteria but before I get ahead of myself I'd like to gauge interest and see how many people would actually want one so that I don't waste my time if there's no interest, I know 12 would sell for sure LOL. Maybe it doesn't have to be a big production run and we can use those online calendar makers and everyone just orders their own.

Added a Poll.... Yes answer assumes reasonable cost $10-$20+shipping.

Just to be clear, there is no money to be made here on my part, whatever it costs that's what we pay.

I would be down. The 3000GT/Stealth community still does one every year based on user submissions, I still get emails about it. The big problem is trying to put it together this short notice. Another is I'm pretty sure this forum wont allow a poll big enough so it would have to be hosted on another site.

tiltmode43 · 11-22-2015, 11:44 PM

Count me in as long as it is a reasonable price!

Vanne · 11-23-2015, 03:29 AM

Yup, in too

Digs · 11-23-2015, 08:16 AM

Great idea. The gift that gives all year long. I'm in.

Pheonix · 11-23-2015, 10:24 AM

rockstar93 · 11-23-2015, 11:03 AM

I'm definitely in, for 2015 I bought an E46 M3 calendar put together by M3Forum and it turned out great

They use a few threads each year, one for submissions, voting, and ordering I believe. They're working on submissions now:

http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=538003

I'd love to be in for two, or one of each, but I work for a 'competing' (no comparison really) car company and they don't take a liking to my BMW obsession.

Cyclops · 11-28-2015, 07:59 PM

OK get your photos ready, I'll have details tomorrow.

Finnegan · 11-28-2015, 08:38 PM

Great idea.

Vanne · 11-29-2015, 12:11 AM

Darn it, ill have to go wash the car..

Cyclops · 11-30-2015, 09:44 PM

OK start digging for those photos..... submissions open.

I don't think what will be a problem. Once you purchase the calendar it would be printed and mailed from Germany.

Books & Calendars are printed on demand at printing facilities around the world. This process is very efficient and environmentally friendly, but it can take just a bit more time. Here are the countries that have printing facilities.

United States
United Kingdom
Deutschland
France
Italia
Nederland
España
Canada
Australia
Ireland
Schweiz

Yes. Please count me in. Thanks for taking this on..
