Welcome Tony. We have you surrounded in SoCal. Check here for Semi-organized drives and a great annual meet http://www.socalvintagebmw.com/index.html. Some 02ers will attend the annual Bimmerfest, which will be at the Rose Bowl this year http://www.bimmerfest.com/event.php. A group usually plans a drive up to the Bay area for the Bay Area Swap and Show http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,50/page,viewtopic/t,337112/ There seem to be a casual gathering and drive planned this sunday 2/28 http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,50/page,viewtopic/t,337377/. You can usually find some of us at Cars and Coffee in Irvine on Saturday mornings http://irvine.carsandcoffee.info/directions.php Hope to see you around soon. Of course I am stuck up here in the slums of Santa Barbara.
