Bay Area - End of Season / Summer Meet - October 14th

[AquilaBMW]

A lot of people have been asking that we organize another Bay Area Meet - something like we did August of last year.

So... Let's Git 'Er Done!!!!

After watching all the other more recent meets, it seems at the end of it, Saturday is actually turning out to be a challenge. Seems folks have more activities to do that day than initially thought.

So... we are back to Sunday for a meet. And this time, we have TONS of advance notice. I have selected October because Northern California experiences an Indian Summer in this month. So, it will our last chance this year to get some driving done in the Sun!

I hope everyone can attend and make this another successful meet. All models are welcome as it seems to be more fun that way and people can compare notes.If misswin want to fly down, she can drive Dirty Diana to the meet :D.

Only choices here are the location and we can vote in advance. Either we meet at Peter Pan BMW again, or we meet in San Rafael. The most popular / most voted location will decide the route. Voting will end September 30th.

EDIT AS OF SEPTEMBER 25th, 2012 - PLEASE READ:

After talking with a number of attendees and realizing we may have to split the group due to age differences, I decided that I can forgo the NFL for one Sunday to hang out with friends of similar interest - BMWs! :D

While this may not jive with everyone, I think it is better for the group as a whole and that we all stick together. I have enjoyed all BMW meets regardless of the age of the attendees and I think part of the fun of these meets is to be able to share some time together and share stories and projects, etc.

Also, some people want to bring their kids, significant others and friends to the meet and how welcoming will we be if we decide to say adios to the "younger" members of our community.

With that said, the Blah Food 'N Football part will be deleted - sorry. We can still do that afterwards to catch the afternoon games if anyone is interested.

Please read the revised itinerary. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING !!!

Based on the votes received, we seem to be leaning towards Peter Pan in Burlingame as our location, I am going to move ahead with Peter Pan for now....

Date: Sunday October 14th, 2012 @ 09:00 AM

Locations:

Peter Pan BMW Service Center - 1625 Adrian Road, Burlingame, CA. We will provide some refreshments at this meeting venue.

After a very brief Meet and Greet, we will commence the drive no later than 9:00 AM.

The drive will be circular to end back up at the same location in time for a quick roll call, check in and gathering. We will have a meet and greet, Swap meet, Chat Meet, Hugs and Kumbaya and all that.

After the meet, we will have the Meet 'N Greet Lunch BBQ at Peter Pan with what I can only describe as some of the best darn BBQ this side of Texas. We will have it here so that EVERYONE can be a part of this.

Please note the BBQ will be $20 Per plate, including gratuity. This is to cover most of the cost of the Caterers.

So, the schedule for Burlingame will look something like this:

08:30 AM - For Meet & Greet.

9:00 AM - Drive Time

12:00 PM - Return Meet & Greet / Swap Meet / Kumbaya Group Time

1:00 PM - Lunch at Peter Pan Location.

5:00 PM - (This can happen sooner) Disperse, wave good byes, hugs and all that stuff.

Night Time - Party in ????? (Wherever we decide!), time to get your groove on.


Any questions, let me know. Here is what we did last year:

Thanks Michael, you always come through with planning these very well. I'm down. Should I unbend my MK2's for this meet or just roll on the M-Systems? Decisions...

Thanks Nate! I think it would be interesting to see your car back in T-Stars, but knowing you, there might be newer wheels ready by then.:D

So... let's start a list shall we:

1. AquilaBMW
2. Cddallara
3. BruinBimmer


Don't forget to vote on location folks.

[BruinBimmer]

Thanks Nate! I think it would be interesting to see your car back in T-Stars, but knowing you, there might be newer wheels ready by then.:D

Nah, I don't have money for another set. Bought a DD a few months ago so I'm low on fun money. But aren't we all?

Voted for the place that gets food in my belly faster. The BMW Service center was a nice treat last time, but a little crowded for the usual turnout we have IMO.

[PorscheH6]

Paging mpaganr34, MaxSteel, SC David, motatti, greg540, Keith, xkaharianx, screwbiedoo...

I'm down. But 50/50 on location.

i'm pretty confident i can make this, and could go either way on location as well.

[calaurion]

Sweet, Michael came through again. This should be a good turn out.

[misswin]

hm. plane tickets are under $300 for that weekend..... could use a couple days on the west coast again.

[PorscheH6]

Yes, you could. Imagine being picked up from SFO in an E34 M5!

[misswin]

SFO is around $250 as opposed to SJC's $4-500 range........................

[PorscheH6]

While I live much closer to SJC, SFO is en route to Larkspur, and Peter Pan is just 10 miles south of SFO. Do ittttttttt

[misswin]

If someone can guarantee I'll get to see the Pacific ocean and a few drinks........

[PorscheH6]

I can guarantee the former (I am leaning towards Larkspur because we can easily hop onto HWY1 and get a GREAT view of the Pacific.) However Half Moon Bay, just west of Peter Pan, is quite the sight as well. But I still have a few months to go before I can enter any bar... :shifty

[M5 Jed]

The date should work for me.

The Pt. Reyes/Drakes beach drive was awesome but the roads were bumpy. The Half Moon Bay drive was equally twisty but much smoother, so I prefer HMB. I'm also partial to meet up in Burlingame as that gives me 1 hour head start in the drive back home.

We are already starting to look good. Awesome! I hope we can make it epic again this year. I will try to add more to the event as we get closer. Also, since the drive is earlier, we might be able to take some more fun roads deeper in the canyons.

Let's keep it going folks. Thanks!

Michael

[BruinBimmer]

I'm glad that we'll start the drive earlier. Traffic was always a [syn: ex-gf] in the past meets, especially with the larger groups.

Love the turnout so far, and this thread has only been up for ~12 hours

Conspiracy at its finest! I'm going to plan a meet when my car is finished and I'll make sure you are all out of town that day!!! Seriously though, so pissed I can't be there. I cant find another direct flight that day at a later time, either. Have fun everyone.. knowing my car... it won't be done by then anyway :(

[dohcdoh]

alright, ill tentatively say yes. october should be plenty of time to get the car situation in order. Cant wait to meet the e34 crowd!

[AquilaBMW]

So... how we coming along here?

Marc - So sorry buddy. Maybe you should fake a sick day that date man... just sayin... :dunno

I'm down for either place, but I guess I'm leaning toward Peter Pan.

I would, but I usually leave on Fridays after work to visit family in Sac, so I'll probably be driving from there.

[AquilaBMW]

BUMP! Countdown has started.... let's see more hands up. Come on people. :D

[axel foley]

I think i will be able to go. Not sure if i will be driving the E34 though, depends if i start taking off the current supercharger setup by then to build the new setup.
I vote Peter Pan. I'll be heading from the Sacramento area.

[BruinBimmer]

I say keep it on for one more meet! I would like to check it out, I missed your car at the last meet. And at the Berkeley Marina Meet (that was you that rolled up as I left, right?) earlier this year.

Okay.... so, since it seems Peter Pan is going to be the location we are using, I am upping the ante a little bit.

Sunday is of course Football day, and I am a football myself. So, with this in mind. I am going to open up my buddy's Bar in Redwood City and will be arranging catering with my neighbour who is a professional caterer who does barbeque / smoked stuff.

So..... after the drive and a brief Meet and Greet at Peter Pan, we shall mosey on down to Redwood City and meet up at 2411 Broadway where we will open up the Bar and show the games. We have a HUGE SCREEN for the main game.

We will also provide a BBQ Catered Lunch. For those interested in the lunch, it will be $20 Including gratuity and you can pay when you get there and EAT! I tested the ribs today and they are DO DIE FOR!

Let me know what you guys think. I am going to edit the first page with this plan.

Cheers,

Michael

At this point, this is truly a BMW All Family meet, bring the E30. I am sure guys would love to see that and other models at the meet. I am also reaching out to the ///M community so Jed doesn't feel lonely and the only noise maker there!

LOL!



SWAP MEET / MEET & GREET:

Also guys, if you need to bring something with you maybe the day / night before but would like to store it so you can drive around un-hindered, my garage is available for storage. So, if you want to bring items for someone who will be there and want to deliver later in the day or overnight store it - let me know.

Also, you can update the thread with what you have available or would like to offer so people know what will be available at the meet.

Host the picture on a site (picasa, photobucket, even facebook). Right click the picture, and click 'copy image URL.' Paste that in the signature box. But more than likely you will have to crop or resize your picture. You can use various editing software or even Paint to do that.

You? Lame? With an M5T? Impossible.

[AquilaBMW]

Yesssss! You have a +1?

14. Weksos

YES! I concur with that. Be great to see the car in person.


You? Lame? With an M5T? Impossible.

We are both lame I guess, he no longer has the M5T and I no longer have the 540iT. :(



Not sure where we are on attendance right now.... the list has been growing on different sub forums, so it's anybody's guess right now. However, it is looking to be a GREAT turnout for this event.

I am going to confirm the lunch BBQ this week - so that is SO gonna happen.

IMPORTANT: For the Food 'N Football lunch, please note that anyone that is going has to be 21 or Over. If there are a large number of attendees who are not, I need to make different arrangements now. If you are under 21 - just PM and let me know.

[cddallara]

Don't worry about me for lunch Michael. I'll meet in the AM and tailgun the drive being the slowest car, but gotta head back North fairly early.

Are you the only one bringing a Touring? Hmmmm. Even though the 535 is a lot more fun to drive, I may need to convince the wife to trade for the weekend so I can represent. Especially cause Michael and Jed are sooo lame and don't have Tourings anymore.

I'd love to check out some others, as well as other series...

Sorry man, it'll happen eventually :/

's all good. I'd rather have it on a Saturday, but obviously I'm in the minority. What if we have a service in the morning, can you call it church? ;)

I'll be flying home from the east coast while this is happening :(

[BruinBimmer]

Hey guys, I know that Michael has been talking to a few of you (including myself) who are under 21, making the lunch after the meet an issue. I was quite suprised, I thought PorscheH6 and I were the only ones.

I just wanted to throw this out there to relieve some of the pressure off of Michael, and thought this would be best decided as a group. I propose that all of the under 21 people split off and grab lunch elsewhere. My reasoning behind this:

1) I'm assuming the vast majority of the group is over 21, so I wouldn't want us to spoil their fun
2) We won't be under 21 forever; PorscheH6 and I could even join you guys as soon as December if we have another meet then
3) There will always be forum members under 21 on here (though not quite as much as all the 3er kiddos), so I don't want this issue to come up every year and ruin the fun (especially after we start drinking legally)
4) We will splend plenty of time with you guys beforehand, and it's not like we go to bars every meet, so it's not like we're being permanently excluded

Let me know what everyone thinks.

Hi Nate -

That is very big of you man. This is one day, one Sunday out of the year for all of us to meet and have a great time. I personally don't like the idea of splitting the group up just because of age difference. It has never been a problem in the past and should not be a problem now.

I have always enjoyed these meet regardless of age and part of the fun of the meet is to be able to hang out and share stories after the drive and catch up. Sometimes, we don't see each other for a year or so. Also.... we got guys from WA joining us and other distant locations.

I am willing to give up Football Sunday for ONE DAY. I am sure the NFL Gods will forgive me for this... :D

SO ... with that said. The BBQ will take place at Peter Pan - out in the open like traditional BBQ's should be anyway. That way we can all stay together till we disperse.

Cheers,

Michael

[garageV]

can we bring beer? lol kidding.....

[M5 Jed]

lol, thanks for the precise tips. will try it this way.

[quote=demike535i;25141940]Are you the only one bringing a Touring? Hmmmm. Even though the 535 is a lot more fun to drive, I may need to convince the wife to trade for the weekend so I can represent. Especially cause Michael and Jed are sooo lame and don't have Tourings anymore.

I'm only semi-lame, lol. I'm currently building an E39 M5T in the garage.


's all good. I'd rather have it on a Saturday, but obviously I'm in the minority. What if we have a service in the morning, can you call it church? ;)

Anytime a group of BMWs and enthusiasts come together to woo and swoon is considered a religious experience. But I'll go to mass the following Sunday to make it up.

[demike535i]

Host the picture on a site (picasa, photobucket, even facebook). Right click the picture, and click 'copy image URL.' Paste that in the signature box. But more than likely you will have to crop or resize your picture. You can use various editing software or even Paint to do that.

You? Lame? With an M5T? Impossible.

WHOA! Boys, I had first dibs on driving that monster. I have paid my dues to earn this one! Tell you what, I will go meet Jed down in So.Cal and I will drive it up while he battles... opps... I means drive my DINAN 5 up here.

Cool... just update the thread with (+ Lunch) by your name so I know. Like I said, the plan is we will have a caterer on site so no ones need to go off anywhere and we can all spend time hanging out.

Nate is an old friend and it doesn't make sense for us to split up after the drive - the whole purpose of the meet is for people to all get together and talk cars and such. No worries, plans have been made so that everyone can enjoy the meet.

Here is our menu:



BBQ Items from the Smoker


Mesquite Smoked Pork Ribs served with Award Winning BBQ Sauce


or



Southwestern Marinated Chicken grilled to perfection



All Lunches are served with the following side orders:

Longhorn Potato Salad

Corn on the Cob

Motorcycle or bicycle? I've got a buddy who rides fixed gear all the time in sf, keeps getting hit by cars(third time now). Sold his s50 swapped super modded e30 to buy a carbon fiber super nice bike only to get hit by cars. The world is telling him something, he just isn't listening.

[e34west]

I'm putting the word out to the local Bimmers here in BC to see if anyone else wants to come down with me. When's the latest you need a confirmation for lunch? The ribs sound amazing!

[BruinBimmer]

Tossed off the motorcycle. Spranged wrist, sore neck, shoulder, knee, and various roadrash. I wanna make it, but it's hard enough to even type now.

Yep. That's why I stick to four wheels and a crumple zone.

Sorry to hear that man! Take 2 advils with each meal for the next few days, it should help. Maybe have your +1 drive you if you don't mind someone else driving your beast.

Nate - As a former rider, I can only imagine what you went through and are still dealing with. Sorry to hear that man.

Guys... if you never came off a bike before, you cannot imagine what road rash feels like. OUCH! I hope you can still make it buddy, but either way, keep us posted and heal well.


UPDATE ON EVENT!

Today, I did a dry run of the course for the BimmerCon drive. Oh My My My !!!!

The course will be HWY 92 to HWY 35 (Skyline). We will then head south on HWY 84, and then we turn off at Pescadero highway and head to PCH / HWY 1 from there.

At the early time of day, the roads should be relatively empty, this should be fun. We will take a quick break at Pescadero State Beach, the come up North on PCH (By the Ocean) for a few miles and take HWY 84 North back to Alice's and then take HWY 35 back. We will be heading in the opposite direction, so traffic will be on our side.

GUYS - SERIOUS NOTES HERE! HWY 35 going south is pretty smooth, however these are all wooded areas so there might be wet spots or damp areas. BE CAREFUL. You are also up in the hills, so little room for errors. HWY 35 is a pretty smooth road with undulating turns, but some of them are Double Apex Turns and decreasing radius turns which might catch you by surprise.

Driver carefully. I know we want to have fun, but I do not want anyone wrecking. Remember, it's not a race or a rally, it's a fun drive with fellow Bimmerheads! HWY 35 will test your suspension and brakes, and then the game goes up on Pescadero Highway. This highway climbs up and has sheer drops. On the way up, it is very curvy and VERY tight. Don't go crazy here. Remember, your friends are in front and behind you. Once again, there are double apex turns - some very tight and some even off camber.

As it descends, it does open up and about 10 miles from the coast there is a great run you can blast through outside Pescadero itself.

Please... remember to respect the road and people in residential areas. Have fun, but be safe so we can all share HAPPY stories!

I will tell you one thing, you will SO WANT LUNCH after the run. It is a great work out!

Here are a few pictures of my dry run.


Intersection of HWY 92 and HWY 35, be cautious when turning as it is at the top of a hill.

Yep. That's why I stick to four wheels and a crumple zone.

We all have our urges... I'll stop riding once I settle down and am more valuable to a family than myself.


Sorry to hear that man! Take 2 advils with each meal for the next few days, it should help. Maybe have your +1 drive you if you don't mind someone else driving your beast.

Thanks for your concern, but nah, she doesn't know how to drive manual. But she does [insert dirty stickshift joke here].


Nate - As a former rider, I can only imagine what you went through and are still dealing with. Sorry to hear that man.

Guys... if you never came off a bike before, you cannot imagine what road rash feels like. OUCH! I hope you can still make it buddy, but either way, keep us posted and heal well.

Thanks Michael. It's not as bad as the last time I messed myself up snowboarding, so I'm hoping for a shorter recovery time than last time.

[silverE39]

Aquila,

Nice post of dry-run. BTW, Did you stop at Chevron gas off Crystal Springs Road? I thought I saw your ride as I was waiting in line for the Touchless carwash. If it was you, then I should've went with you :)

Nate - Glad it's not too bad. Come on down with the girl and you guys can hang out or ride out with one of the other people there for the run.

[mottati]

put me down for lunch (x2)

[demike535i]

Question... Is there going to be a group of less spirited/casual drivers? I'm probably bringing my son and I won't be breaking any speed laws with him in the car

[AquilaBMW]

You got it. No worries, there will be more than enough food... unless we have a HUMOUNGOUS turnout and everyone suddenly gets hungry. :rolleyes :D

Hey Mike - Look forward to meeting your son. Not to worry, at the rate this is going we will probably have three groups. So, yes there will be a cruising group on this run as well.

[mottati]

i'm in the same boat. My son is coming, 16, just got his drivers license so ive got to set a decent example.

[garageV]

I don't think we broke any speed limit laws last time, did we Michael?

:shifty

Afterall, we were being led by the Burger King Mobile, and being held up by a tired ol' wagon...

My boys (16, 11) had a great time :D

[BruinBimmer]

I don't think we broke any speed limit laws last time, did we Michael?

That depends if you were following me and the e28 M535 last time.

FWIW I still can't use the left hand for driving at all right now... And using the clutch leg isn't exactly comfortable either. Wish I could stream live coverage of this event or something :rolleyes

That is awesome! Do me a favour will ya. Stop by in Eugene and kick E34Croak (Dan) outta bed and drag him down!

[cddallara]

I doubt I'll be there in the AM. Seems silly to drive all the way down there and cut the "drive" portion short. I'll bring My son with me and cruise down after church for lunch.

Should be 4 cars coming down from BC now...
E34 M5
E38 740IL
E39 540i
E60 M5

We plan to stay in Portland on Friday night and cruise into SF sometime Saturday evening after a cruise down the coast. First stop will be a car wash.

[Gary e36]

Knock on wood, but weather's been pretty shitty lately in SF huh? Planning to wash my baby later today so she'll look better for Sunday. Was planning on buying new wheels/tires from my neighbor but he fell through so I'll be riding on stock :/ Whatevss

so where should we park at the dealer?

[richinvan]

That should have been my E32 740iL, not E38.

I got hit with a double-whammy this morning: a surprise east-coast business trip and a coolant leak. Sadly I won't be making the trip. :(

See ya guys for lunch, don't think I can make the drive. In case anyone cares, I just saw on the news that the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin festival starts this weekend, so watch out for those Pumpkin shoppers Hwy 92 & Hwy 1.

Gonna be a nice day. :redspot

[e34west]

Lol, sorry Richard... derp moment.

sadly nobody could join me today, so I am flying solo. Almost in Portland, will tackle the 101 tomorrow!

[mottati]

I'm also going to miss the drive but will be at peter pan by noon.

[garageV]

so where do we park at the dealership?

[mottati]

we're actually meeting at the peter pan service dept. It's a stand alone building away from the dealership. It'll be obvious when you see it. Not sure if the actual address is posted in this thread.

here's what google says:
1625 Adrian Road
Burlingame
http://www.peterpanbmw.com/service-department.aspx

Someone please chime in if that's not correct!

I read that it's at the Sevice Dept. building too, the actual dealership is South a few miles in San Mateo. So unless someone tells me different, I'll be heading to 1625 Adrian Rd. :thumbup: (it's right up the street from Gokart Racer :eek:)

[mottati]

This is where it was last year. Nice location really.

[cddallara]

Just painting the roof now. Have to finish the shadowline and install the front bumper before church tomorrow :D

[axel foley]

I'll probably just meet you guys at Peter Pan around noon, dont think I can make the morning drive

[e34west]

Anyone having a morning car wash party? I wiped out a few bugs on the way down.

Coming to you from PP BMW, come on down. We're waiting for the driving group to get here.

Great time with all of you guys.

Here's an album I took with my phone. Nothing special

Missed the drive, but Ryan and I still had a good time.

The food was great (had three helpings!), so were the people and cars.

Michael's e38, and my POS wagon:

Great turnout.....loved that touring^.......nice to meet some of you guys. Who was the guy filming? I would like to see the video of this meet.

[BMRrobi]

Looks like you all had a great time! I wish I could have come, just couldn't get my baby road ready in time... I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next one.. =)

[silverE39]

I apologize for stopping and letting the rest of the caravan go ahead of me on Skyline 35.....car was in limp mode. Pulled a code P1351 (misfire cylinder 5 with fuel cutoff). Great turnout with lots of E38s, E39s, tourings, etc. Thanks to AquilaBMW for setting it up.

I believe that was Mpower101.

[axel foley]

Ended up not being able to make it in time. Had business to handle late morning and it took really long. Funny thing was, it was in Burlingame, so I thought I was gonna be good to go...

[AquilaBMW]

WOW! What an incredible day it was. Before I get to far, let me start by saying quite a few BIG THANK YOU’s to a bunch of people.

First and foremost, THANK YOU ALL for attending this event. It was awesome to hang out with everyone – from the drive to the BBQ lunch. Everyone was truly on their best behavior and I think we represented the BMW community very well.

It was amazing to meet members of the forums that I had only talked to via the boards or even on the phone occasionally. A Big SALUTE to all the travelers that showed up from as far as Vancouver – Paul, and our good ole friends from the PNW – Jeff, Artur, Mac, Zac, and a number of others, not forgetting Mac’s son who even joined us on the drive. There were other travelers as well who made brave journeys through the night like my men Bill and Jed. And of course, not to take away from friends who had to wake up at the crack of dawn on a football Sunday from places like the East Bay, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and the North Bay like San Rafael, etc.

I am bad with names and I met more people than my short memory can handle, so I ask your forgiveness if I don’t remember your name. But please, drop me a line and let’s shake hands all over again. It is a great community and I hope we all stick together – which we proved we could do on the drive.

A BIG THANKS to the staff of Peter Pan BMW as well. It turns out there was a small group of staff members there on Sunday and they welcomed us with no problems. David the Parts Manager even let us use the restrooms inside the showroom and come hang out for a bit before our drive down to Pescadero Beach. If you haven’t been to Peter Pan, you should check out their new Ultra Modern Service and Parts Center in Burlingame. I usually get my parts from Tom Dechaine who is very helpful and quite knowledgeable – he is a true enthusiast actually.

Many Many Thanks to Texas BBQ as well, thanks to Frank, his son Austen and Tony who served up the delicious BBQ meal we had for lunch. I am still licking my fingers. Hopefully next time around, more of us can stay for lunch.

It was incredible how many people actually showed up for the drive that early. I got there with Jed and Bill around 8:45 AM and there were a number of people there already. We had about 30 cars on the drive and to keep it simple, we split into two groups. The Churn and Burn group as we call those fast and furious drivers, and then the Cruiser Group for those of us that like to see the sights without fast blur! LOL!

We set off at about 9:40 AM, and both groups got through the drive with no mishaps, no issues – it was a beautiful thing. Funny thing is both groups rejoined at Alice’s right where HWY 35 and HWY 84 meet. It became one beautiful big rally crows of multi-model BMWs. It was quite a sight to see. It was quite the sight to see Danny and his 750iL taking those sweepers and a nice pace and being very composed – right there alongside E30’s and M3’s. Nicely Done!

We cruised through HWY 35, turned onto HWY 84 and had a brisk run down through La Honda to Pescadero Highway. We climbed up past the YMCA camp grounds and made our way through some very nice country roads with turns and sweepers that probably tears of joy to our cars’ eyes. We then made our way through Pescadero and down the Beach right by HWY 1. Holy Cow! It was pretty cold there, but we hung out for a bit and gave the car’s a rest.

One of our attendees’ E34 developed an issue with the ignition switch / barrel. We all crowed around the car like a bunch of mechanical Geniuses trying to fix this car. HATS OFF to Nick who got the steering unlocked and was able to get the car running. What an incredible community. No one for a moment even suggested leaving one member behind, it was instant support and everyone pitched in to make it happen. Thank You Guys, I felt proud to be a member of this community.

The local Sheriff was a little perturbed about how many of us were there and we were kind of spilling onto the highway. We got the car moving, pushed it back off the road (It’s amazing how fast a BMW can move backwards with like 20 people pushing!), and then the experts in our group got to work. Tools came out from everywhere. It was finally BigBoysBMW’s tool and Nick’s hands that made the magic happen.

We took photos at Pescadero Beach and it was a time to shake hands with everyone again, or meet new people. We hung out a bit more then set off – heading north on PCH / HWY 1 to turn East again at HWY 84 and head back up towards Burlingame. There was a Pumpkin Festival going on in Half Moon Bay, so we avoided that. We took HWY 84 all the way down to 280 FWY. It was a great drive. HWY 84 at the coast starts with some fast paced sweepers and everyone was able to get through it at a brisk pace. It was sometimes obstacle course getting around the bicycles, but we all made it through okay – we “shared the road”.

We were all back at Peter Pan BMW around 1 PM in the afternoon. I think everyone enjoyed the drive, I most certainly loved it. It was fun to experience it with a bunch of friends. Nothing like seeing 30 cars in your mirror.

Back at Peter Pan, we all got together again. Some of the group took off after the drive – some had long trips or other plans. I believe Jeff and Artur had to go back to find Jeff’s GoPro camera which fell off the car – I hope the camera is okay. I already heard you found it – GOOD! Mac took off sometime soon, sorry I didn’t get a chance to say good bye. Zack had family plans, as I think Danny did too.

After lunch it was just time to talk shop and hang out with others that did not make the drive. My old friend Gilbert showed up with his Touring. In fact, we have at least four tourings there, Mottati and his Black E34 touring, Gilbert and his Red E34 Touring, and Corey with his freshly painted touring that he drove up with his son. We also had two fresh looking E39 tourings present. They were seriously FRESH looking, cars were absolutely beautiful.

To top it off, we were joined by a BMW Alpina B12 5.7 Bi-Turbo (Was it actually a Bi-Turbo?). The car was simply gorgeous. You could tell you were around a group of true BMW die-hards. A beautiful White V10 Audi R8 showed up, and most of use just glanced at it, I think we spent more time ogling the Alpina. LOL! Kinda funny, it seems the owner of the Audi was a genuine car nut like us too though and he hung out with the group for a bit.

And before I forget, thanks to all who helped with this event – either as a pack leader, giving directions, spreading good will, fixing cars, etc. You all made this one great event. Ready for the next one yet ?!?!

Special thanks to Peter (M5Board) and Paul (Bimmerforums) who hung out till 10:30 helping me try to figure out why my silly DINAN 5 would not run. You guys rock! http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/beerchug.gif http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/bigok.gif

If you like, you can catch up and share your photos on Facebook – the page is BimmerCon on facebook. Cheers!

Ugh. Want that 8 series. Want right now.

[PorscheH6]

How many E34 M5s showed up?


Could not make this one. :(

The only e34 M5 at the 'after drive' part of the even i remember was a euro car from british columbia! I drove my newly manual trans swapped touring for some variety.

The alpina is a 5.7L v12, but no turbos.

The guy in the Audi is a former e39/e60 M5 owner, haven't seen him in years.

[TGreene]

That Alpina.... wow. E31s are so good looking.

Sounds good, Gilbert is giving you my #.

[weksos]

Sorry for missing most of you! I showed up around 12:15 hoping to catch all of you back from the drive. I then had to leave shortly after for a dimsum Lunch appt in Cupertino. :(

Finally made it back home and got some sleep! Here's a few pics:

This picture truly shows why BFC is one of if not the best BMW community in the world. Michael's car developed an ignition problem just as we were getting ready to leave Pescadero. Everyone pitched in to help get it moving again, pushing the car off the road, getting tools, surfing the web for solutions - even checking on BFC while we were there. Not one person chose to leave the group. That is awesome! You guys are all rock stars!

Here are the Rock Stars, except for some weird Black Guy who kept telling everyone where to go... :rolleyes Sheesh! Who was that guy anyway?!?!

[Ruffian]

Looks like a good group and a good drive. One of these days I'll make it down for a cruise.

[AquilaBMW]

Don't forget to join / like / friend the facebook page - BimmerCon. A website will be up soon with more details on a few others things being developed.

And when you consider that it's Kashmirbeige to boot... well, what more can you say!

Great pics everyone!!! I took some with my phone, only one came out decent, the rest were an absolute fail, lol. Great job organizing Michael!!! Awesome run too, good group to run with, nobody got dead.

This is what was left over from the meet, 4 guys at a brewery for some wings and beer. M5 owners represent!!!

[M5 Jed]

This is my favorite pic - I wish we had an E28 M5 to complete the lineage.

Hmmmm..... wasn't this the slow group? :evil2

Guys..... if you can, please add to the BimmerCon facebook. Cheers!

[Gary e36]

Anything this year?

[M5 Jed]

Doesn't look like AquilaBMW will be organizing one this year. Maybe someone else should take on the torch? I'm sure there are a few of us here in the SoCal area that will make the trek north to attend a meet and run.

I'll go, but I ain't organizing. It's a sure fire way to get people to not show up.

I don't even think I should say I'll go :shifty
