Silly question? Which do you think is the biggest 02 meetup

[citizenchan]

Just curious cuz I would really have to stress about a lot of things if I want to make it to BimmerFest this year. Aside from the Swap N Show, is there another big 02 meet on the West coast? I'm wondering if I should just do it, cuz BimmerFest is worth it - never been, or if I could set my sights for something comparable/better instead. Thanks

Bimmerfest has been primarily late model BMWs. Only recently have we been getting a good "vintage" group, including 02s. In the past they have reserved a certain area for the older cars, while all the others parked wherever they could. It is a great event, but not 02 specific like the BayArea02 Swap and Show.

Each year we get more and more 02s. Last year I think we had at least 50 of them. This year we hope to have more. We tend to gather with all the other pre-76 BMWs. It is pretty amazing to see thousands of BMWs converge on Santa Barbara. This year I am going to try to organize a casual classic cruise on some of the Santa Barbara scenic backroads after the fest.

FestWest is a 02 event that had met in San Luis Obispo every September for the last 15 years, but the organizers have taken the last couple of years off. It is a big job to arrange one of these events and I believe they were getting a little burned out.

There is talk of a SoCal 02 gathering in the future, but that is still in the planning phases.

Hope you can make it to Bimmerfest, it is definitely quite an event.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to see what I can do, for sure.

Say what you will, but my events are the best.
