You'll feel it soon or atleast at the age of 21 you'll experience more. I feel most of us are older. Hence, sometimes our weekends are spent with family. But I'm always open for Sunday if anybody is down to put it together

Yeah I feel you. Everyone is so busy in California, I doubt anyone will put it together. There used to be a ton of meets in Fremont and Milpitas, but there aren't as many now as Cops have stopped them.

There's usually a euro meet out in Concord every first Monday of every month. But I take it most of you guys are in south bay and Monday nights are kinda hard to get to

1edyson · 03-17-2015, 11:41 PM

Is there still a EuroSunday meet San Jose?

Anyone recommend any good and trusted shops around sunnyvale to get an oil change? Would love to do it myself, but don't have the time.

Thanks

Hey guys. New to the bay area with a 335i e92, Space Gray. Hope to see some of you around! I am an industrial designer and motorsport engineer and Live in Oakland and work in Fremont.

Ive been having injector issues and while my car is out of warranty, it technically qualifies for the injector service/recall. I am looking to get some advice as to what dealer to visit - one that is sensible and would be pro-active in helping resolve this issue, getting it warrantied though BMW (as I think any car with such defects should be). Injectors ought to not fail as such rates - I am sure this will catch up sometime, just as the horrid valve cover design.

Thank you for your time! Aside from crazy rent enviroment - cali has been superb, with a great car and BMW scene it seems.

Much appreciated

bumper skid plate? something to specifically protect just the bumper? (vs typically something that replaces and reinforces the underbody)

Id be curious to explore a design, to get laser cut and riveted/bolted to the underside. Just depends on the scope of the "coverage".

I'm new to this area and was just going to ask about the local meets, but I saw that there's not much going on from the last few pages of this thread.

Anyways, I'm around Fairfield/Vacaville, and was looking for fun roads to drive on. Something with plenty of curves but at least a two lane road. I've been down some local roads that are plenty curvy but are barely just wide enough for one car.

There are some routes up to Berryessa that are fun, it's been a long while since I've gone out there though so I'm not sure if there have been changes to road conditions.

AFLRO · 03-24-2015, 11:37 PM

10-4 on those back roads. Windshield gets pretty dirty after those.

Thanks for the heads up in regards to Berryessa. Will have to check it out this weekend.
