    Any active SF Bay Area members?

    I've been seeing a caged, lowered E21 on 280 and it made me realize that I NEVER see E21s on the road anymore! I know Tom is still around but his E21 is not, anybody else??

    Hey there. We met like a year ago when I bought that oil filter housing from you. Alas no E21 with me here.

    Sacramento is pretty drivable for me, so bay-ish

    I see a few around, at least one I see regularly in Petaluma, and this one here can be seen on Google maps street view at 27080 Main Street, Tomales

    I passed it all the time driving to work in the morning, but on the drive home it'd be gone, so it is being used as a daily driver.

    See a few in Santa Rosa, but they tend to be one time only drive by.

    Check this Google street view, you can see this one -

    The one in Petaluma, next time I see it maybe I can get a pic. A few times it's been in the park-n-ride lot near the Petaluma Library. It's a very nice condition original cream color/light tan.

    I can't really say I'm active but I "actively" own an e21 and drive around once in a while. Half cage, gray e21. If you guys ever get together, I'd be up for a meet.

    I commute 280 every day, but in my very yellow Porsche Cayman not an e21. That's in the garage in pieces. Occasionally I drive my fjord 74 tii. It's been a long time since I've seen an e21 on 280.......

    I live in Auburn, east of Sacramento, and drive my E21 quite a bit. Just a few weeks ago I joined a few 2002's and E30's in Novato for a Sunday morning C&C.

    Cool

    I use to see quite a few 320i's here in Sacratomato,thru the years the numbers have dwindled,,I use mine as DD, work and so forth, they getting rarer and rarer.

    Tom, where'd you go?? What happened to that project up Mt. Hamilton Road?

    Years ago we used to have all kinds of meets, fun drives, camping trips, BBQs. I miss it, I'd be down to do another one if someone wanted to put it together. My car has been parked for way too long, and it has a fresh M42 in it just begging to be pushed around...

    Joee21 are you caged? The car I keep seeing has a half cage.
