It's where likeminded folks meet up and enjoy a good cup of coffee while discussing cars and other areas of interest.

It is a very large car show at the Palm Beach Outlet mall, one Sunday each month.

It is a national chain of regional car events. Most relatively large population areas have "chapters." There is a chapter that has events in Doral, and a chapter in Palm Beach. The palm beach event is one of the largest nationally (from what I understand.)

Essentially, you pay a small fee to "show" your car, $10 for the west palm event (spectators are free admission), in an event that is typically held at a large mall or similar parking lot early Sunday morning (to not interrupt business.)

There are vendors there selling their stuff...but really it's all about an informal meet for car people to brag about their car and drool over others.

There is a thread for the August cars and coffee in West Palm in mid August. Join us, it's a great time.

You can also google cars and coffee west palm beach for the website for more info.

Do you display your M3 or go as a spectator? If as a spectator, how is parking and what time do you need to get there to get a decent spot?

I only went once, met another member of the forum and we went in together to display. We are trying to get a group of forum members to all go in together so we can have a group of g8x cars all together. We only had three (a third random owner joined our area) and they got lots of attention.

As a viewer, I think the event officially opens at 8 and runs to 11.

We are meeting at a local Dunkin donuts at 630-645. Then at 7 we will all drive to the event together (about half a mile away) to enter as a group and secure a block of spaces.

Look for the thread about the August cars and coffee in this subforum for more info.

Btw, the palm beach event gets several hundred cars each month. It is a massive event. Every thing from custom Suzuki sidekicks, to classic muscle cars, to modern exotics like lambo and McLaren. The rarest car in July was likely the McLaren Senna.

If you don't want to go as part of the group, go after 9 (will be much easier to get into the mall) and park anywhere, then walk in.

Also there is Supercar Saturday hosted by lamborghini broward in Pembroke Gardens in Pembroke Pines every 2nd Saturday of the month.

I usually go to that but this month I will be out of town. I think it falls on the same weekend as PBCC every month.
