Largest California G8x Meetup to date ///2.12.22
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com The terrific, and yet perhaps most obvious thing with these kinds of meetups: a shared enthusiasm for the ///M brand bringing interesting people together! These cars are fantastically engineered and sculpted machines that we all have the privilege of owning and driving. Such a cool thing for us all to share that together. The meetup's goal was to meet face to face and then take a cruise around the beautiful SF Bay Area and get some lunch in Sausalito. Let's just say...we went about 16 or so miles until a lot of us were lost(!). Blame the power of the ///M gas pedal! (Note: guys, we gotta do better at sticking together next time. ) Ultimately, most of us ended up getting lunch together and learned a bit more about who's behind those amazing wheels. A damn good get together indeed and I think we can all agree we made some new friends. In attendance were some great builds from the following folks (in alphabetical order): (NOTE for Bimmerpost app users: this post is cut off in the app for some reason. Viewing in a mobile or desktop browser will render it correctly.) ///Arshaq: Dakar Yellow G80 IG: @m3apm Build:

And of course, pictures and video of our meetup: And special shout out to this guy: Jeremy Not only is this inspiring human still driving cars despite a wheelchair, he's driving not one, but two badass M cars. And he's sporting carbon bucket seats as well! A great day for us all, and surely just the beginning. We've got 12 cars lined up for the next meet, and likely approaching 16 as more folks signal that they want to join. Video below of the V formation:

Fantastic post and looks like it was a great time.
Side note: Had to go on my computer to see this correctly. It was not showing up right on the Bimmerpost app on my iPhone.

Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't have the bimmerpost app but just downloaded it and saw the issue. After some sleuthing I figured out the Instagram links were breaking the page. Weird. Just corrected it and added more images.

Thanks brother! I decided to have some fun with it. Plus, I needed to do justice to all our rides.
