Portland Cars & Coffee M Car Adventure

sterile stork · 05-15-2015, 01:23 PM

As the Portland Cars and Coffee event ramps up at its new home, I figure it's best to start a thread to coordinate pre-meets, and track who is in town! Even though your engines lack individual throttle bodies, the cars all share the collection of tens, if no hundreds of M badges. Let's all gather in advance for a quick chance to make introductions & showoff, followed by a collective roll into the C&C event. Here are the details for the first meet, tomorrow, 16 May:

Portland Cars & Coffee Pre-Meet!!
08:00 @ Rose City Poker
North lot (near Chevron)
25425 SW 95th Ave
Wilsonville, OR 97070
Quick meet & greet, etc.

08:10 Depart to Portland Cars & Coffee at Portland Cars & Coffee at World of Speed Museum
27490 SW 95th Ave
Wilsonville, OR 97070
Cruise in together, make friends, binge on caffeine, depart.

While the times are a bit earlier than seasons past, the event has grown substantially--often making it a hassle to even park. The event gates open promptly at 08:00, so no point in arriving to the destination prior to then.

Updated pre-meet location for those on the east side coming via I-205.

ok, thnx

Missed this, completely fell off my radar. Shame because it isn't far from the house. Will definitely plan and try to make the next one. Lots I still need to learn on this car. 1st BMW. Hope everyone had a good time inspite of the drizzle.

KzrSoze · 05-17-2015, 06:14 PM

Had I not been out of state on business I would have been there. June for sure!!

///bproden · 05-17-2015, 10:47 PM

Any pics from yesterday?

sterile stork · 05-18-2015, 12:49 AM

The first weekend was a resounding success--we have a bit of logistics to sort out, however the turnout...just a new benchmark altogether. Some photos for the visual pleasure can be found here:

As an organization, we're looking forwarding to refining some of the processes but look forward to you all joining in the future! Only 2 F8X's this weekend

KzrSoze · 05-18-2015, 06:07 PM

We'll add an F83 to the mix next time!

sterile stork · 05-21-2015, 06:14 PM

Saturday is approaching quickly! As it is Memorial Day weekend Portland Cars & Coffee is inviting past and present members of the armed services to park their vehicles in the featured lot at this weekend's event. Who's planning to attend?

philthy84 · 05-22-2015, 11:53 PM

I'm definitely interested in attending and meeting fellow M owners. I work every other weekend so I'll go to the ones I can make!

HuskyBMW · 05-27-2015, 03:05 PM

Shoot, I live just down the street from World of Speed. Sorry I missed the event. Still need to get over there for a tour. The kids keep asking. Anyway, when is the next event?

Portland Cars & Coffee takes place every Saturday, throughout the year, regardless of the weather. With the forecast looking as it presently does, this weekend most certainly will bring out a great selection of vehicles--may even one of you F8X guys will wake up in time

I regularly work at the event and unfortunately cannot be at the pre-meet location (0.8 miles north of WoS Museum) so a volunteer to lead the pack would be greatly appreciated!

So is World of Speed the new regular meeting place? What is the start time? I will definitely try to make the next one. Thanks for the info.

Ok, just saw the 8am pre-meet time and the 8:10 depart time. But again, wondering if WOS is going to be the new regular spot. Thanks again.

08:00 pre-meeting at Rose City Poker's north parking lot for a collective, M car drive into Portland Cars & Coffee (down the road at World of Speed.)

World of Speed is the new, permanent home for Portland Cars & Coffee

With the weather as it has been over the past couple days, tomorrow is looking like it will be an event, not to miss! Hope to see a number of M cars tomorrow, I'll likely be greeting you all at the gate.

Are you guys still doing these Saturday morning meet-ups?

People are tending to meet in the location itself--the new venue enables people arriving at their convenience without the fear of, "needing to be there before XX:XX to obtain parking." For the past couple months I had been at every event (I'm part of the organizing staff.) I'm on a bit of a hiatus at the moment as I'm travelling quite a bit for work again.

HuskyBMW · 07-15-2015, 03:03 PM

Went last month but looking to go again this weekend. I really enjoyed meeting other enthusiasts.
