Bay area BMW enthusiasts

Looking to get involved with some fellow enthusiasts when i take delivery of my M4. Just checking to see whats out there in my area. Weekend drives, cannonball runs a lil street racing or track time. I don't have enough friends with this level of cars unfortunately. When I bought my E92 kinda sucked not being able to know many other BMW car people. Thanks

Yea forget Bay Area BMW dealers bunch of scums. I called every dealer in the Bay Area none were willing to do ED I had the #3 spot at Stevens creek BMW and Dave Parker never gave me a call when allocations were released even though my mom just bought a 4 series from him last Christmas. And now that I have a good dealer in NJ hooking me up w/ED none of them are trying to allow me to pick up my car from their dealership via courtesy delivery. Oh and Weatherford BMW has the nerve to charge a 10k premium and mark up the MF lol BMW NA really needs to audit some of their dealers who are really giving BMW a bad name

But yea back on topic, most def count me in for meets and canyon runs. I work in Novato which is 20 mins away from Infineon so I'd be down to go there for some track fun (once I get some tyre money )

I live in Los Angeles, but I'm moving to the East Bay next week. My M3 is scheduled for week 23 production so I should receive it in mid to late July. I'd love to take part in meet ups, weekend drives, etc. and a trip to Infineon would be fun!

Of course I will, no way I'm renting a car again, and flying is boring. You can show me the roads then. I promise to play nice.

I'm in for that too! Well, as a rule, if it takes me away for a weekend (or longer) from this serene place, I'm in.

Wow that stinks!!! I'm going through stevens creek also but a dif. dealer. I always try to deal with Steve Hill down there he's a good guy. I wanted to be first on the orders and they didn't call me either when allocations became available. So I'm sitting pretty fourth. No mark ups at least. First time I'm ordering a car so we'll see show it goes..

Man, this is the only thing holding me back. A m3 equipped out to my needs is about 76k as well. At that point you ask yourself, its not much cheaper than a pimped out m5..

Yes, I am. My guards are the botox crew in the parks, my parole officers are the Prius neighbors, and my ankle monitor is the unbelievable boring environment I'm stuck in for two years. So yeah, I'm doing time.

I'm too used to be free and not having to censure my thoughts or words, and these guys run away when they realize, that I have no intention ever to find myself having a meaningless small talk session, and I don't give a flying fuck about political correctness, as long as racism doesn't play a part. And I can't stand the whole "Oh your husband works there, well maybe then you are interesting and European, and not difficult and quite bitchy" look these guys do so well.

WEll that's what you get if you you really want me to answer one more time to the question how do you like it here? Yeah, I like it here. I just don't ever want to go to a park again.

Sorry, rant was due to the lack of coffee.
