Yeah I do follow the Bham C&C Facebook page, just haven't made it out to one yet, although I have been wanting to. Do a Facebook search for our group: "Bama Bimmer (From Bimmerpost)" and I'll add you. I've been trying to network with other owners/enthusiasts here in the area.

I've done a meet and drive before with Ross and a few others and it was fun. We met at BWW in alabaster and rode out to hwy 25. I made a cool vid of it from my go pro.
I think you're best bet to grow your group is to meet fellow bimmers at Cars & Coffee.
I'm in the e36 M3 in the pic at C n C- first pic, and third from right in the e90 pic which was taken at the meet and drive. That's Ross's car far left.

That sounds awesome. How long ago was it that you guys did that? Alabaster is actually my hometown, and we end up at BWW for lunch quite often (yesterday included). Back when I put together IS's of Alabama, I met several new people just from putting notes/fliers on cars about our group. So I agree about meeting other Bimmers in person, just want the page and group to be a quick and easy way to connect.

Do you have the video posted online anywhere?

Does anybody know a good shop in Birmingham (or nearby) that does Walnut Blasting for a good price? I would like to get this done before next month if possible. I have already been calling around to local shops and thought it would be worthwhile to find out who everyone else uses.

Not aware of a cheap place in bham but Tom Williams does it. I've seen posts about Solo Motorsports group buys in Atlanta with good prices

We met at BWW at promenade in alabaster about 2-3 years ago. I don't have the vid posted on YouTube but I need to. If I do I'll post it here. It's just an iMovie trailer I made.

Hey Ben, I'd love to see it too! One day I'll make it out to C&C again with the silver one.

Here's the iMovie I made from that meet a couple years ago.

thecrc · 04-03-2015, 07:11 PM

Weather outlook looks nice tomorrow for Cars and Coffee. I hope some fellow Birmingham residents can make it out!

Originally from Kentucky, but spend 10 years in Germany, then Monterey, CA, then Seattle, WA. Just moved here about three months ago. It's taking some adjusting, but all in all not too bad.

From Lincoln here. Already on the bama bimmer group.
