    Yeah, we meet up every once in awhile, pretty informal like that. There is a group that just started not that long ago: http://groups.google.com/group/river...ociation?hl=en

    Yeah we did.

    There hasnt been a big meet for a while though. I assume everyone is just busy and at school. BMW CCA still gets together if you are looking for club stuff, but I don't know when or where, I don't keep track of them.

    Once we get closer to spring I am sure we will do something.

    Thank you bimmerboy. I am currently in the process of fixing up my car. I should have the car lowered very soon, and i have some other ideas in the works too. I hope i can get up with you all, i really enjoy haning out with car guys that enjoy the same cars as me. I work at a Toyota dealership and yes i am around a shop and cars all day im not much into Toyota, i find them boring.
    You profile says your a bmw tech what dealership do you work at. I know some peeps at Crown on Broad st.

    There's a BMWCCA region serving Richmond??? I thought we just had Tidewater (east) and Blue Ridge (west)...

    Dunno,

    Define "enthusiast"... show or go? Waxer or roller?

    There's a euro gathering every Tuesday night at the BP station by Three Chopt and Parham. Sometimes there are some BMW's.

    There's an import gathering every Friday night at the Starbucks by the Huguenot bridge. Usually there are some BMW's.

    There are gatherings every once in a while at VMP for autocrosses (this Sunday 1/20 in particular.) Often there are some BMW's.

    It really depends upon what you wanna do/who you wanna meet...

    Thanks John. Enthusiast to me is anybody who has a love for BMW's. Where its show or go. What kind of euro gathering, my car is stock except for some 3 series wheels (which im not fond of but they came on the car when i bought it. John we sorta know each other, I use to work along side Zach at mechville toyota and at mcgeorge, all though i still work for mcgeorge in the parts dept. I was trying to get him to get me some eibach springs, however he said his contact said they are out of stock.

    Well I know Tom dailey the parts manager and I was getting my parts from jeff till he quit or got fired. Now i get my parts from Leiah. The guys i know now work at toyota that use to work there. One was in parts the other was a mechanic. Ive been up there alot since i just put a new gas tank in last weekend, I get a better price than aftermarket so i just buy factory parts!

    Tom is great to deal with, so is/was Jeff. Steve is horrible....he sits in that chair and refuses to get up....ever. I hate having to deal with him. I will PM you next time Phil (mad skilz) puts together a meet.

    I dealt with a guy in the parts department named Kirby who I hadn't seen before. He was a good guy and really courteous.

    Man I wish I had that luxury. Everything I have priced at RBMW has been cheaper elsewhere ($114 wholesale for an E36 M3 Lemforder OEM tie rod? Riiiiight, Worldpac sells the *exact* same thing for $75.) No wonder these cars have a reputation for being expensive. Or maybe Leah just doesn't like me, hahaha...

    Jon, I didnt mean serving Richmond, should have stated that. I meant the tidewater group.

    Tom is the man. Jeff quit by the way.

    Steve is steve and you have already explained it, haha .

    Kirby is from the southside, he is good as well.

    Sorry, I was at training in New Jersey for BMW. And by the way, the new M3's are going to be insane! .

    Anyway, I will be ordering a technique tuning stage 2 kit soon as well as clutch and doing some other things here real soon, so my car will be down for a little bit. Hopefully have everything done before the end of March. I have a lot of training this quarter, so it is going to be hectic.
