San Diego County Owner's Thread -- Calling all Local M2 Owners

Hi,

I know we have M2 owners in SD Country, so thought I'd start a thread focused on the southern most region / county of California.

We can use this thread for:

+ Introducing ourselves
+ Local gatherings, drives, events, either specific to M2s, or broader auto community
+ Local recommended resources (parts, services, etc.
+ Welcoming / meeting out-of-town M2 owners

I'll start.

I'm in N. County, usually around Del Mar, Encinitas, C'bad, O'side areas. My LBB 6-MT M2 is my first BMW, which I picked up earlier this month. I'd be interested in meeting up and driving through East County -- fantastic roads around Escondido, Ramona, Julian / Santa Isabelle; even out to Borrego. Although I'm still in my 1200 mi break-in period. Also wouldn't mind seeing some mods.

To date I've seen a couple other M2s buzzing around -- AW with stripes driving around Encinitas and MGM (or BSM) driving around La Costa. My 3 local dealers (Encinitas, Vista, Escondido) seem to be moving quite a few M2s, and I hope some stay local!

Start posting up!!

Cheers,

Dragster RR

I think I saw yours at Philz in Encinitas yesterday! I'm probably the AW one you've been seeing driving around with the black wrapped roof and spoiler!

I've seen another LBB in Del Mar, LBB has been the most common color that i've seen, surprisingly.

If you end up doing a coffee meetup or drive to Julian with a few others hit me up for sure!

Maybe a drive Sunday 4/30?

Assuming weather is good, we can head out and drive around Escondido / Ramona (Bandy Canyon, Highland Valley Rd.), maybe even out towards Santa Isabelle / Mesa Grande, depending on how much time we all have.

And don't know about the two of you, but I'm still in break-in period.

Did you guys ever end up meeting up? If not or you're up for it again, I'm down. I'm down by PB but anything in SD county is within my reach for a meetup.

Just found this thread. I'm downtown but up in Encinitas pretty often, that was probably me at Philz. I go to most of the cars and coffees around SD. We should all meet up sometime.

New AW 2017 M2 owner here, in downtown mainly, sometimes visiting my parents up in Carlsbad. Question for you guys? Have any of you done paint protection on your cars? If so, any recommendations on shops with good quality work and reasonable price? Thanks

I've used Auto Armour and Elite Finish Detailing on several of my cars. Expensive but perfect.

Several of us have taken our M2's to 5 Point Detail (Kearny Mesa) for Ceramic Pro coating and Expel film protection. They are one of our local BMW CCA Chapter sponsor/advertisers and offer a club discount.

Stig2B, Pundit, and I just had our annual maintenance done last week.

Hi Dragster RR Congrats on your LBB! I'm in central San Diego, but sometimes visit my MGM friend STIG2B in Carlsbad, along with LBB friend Pundit so you may see some of us in your area. My AW has only the side stripes.

Trailed a LBB M2 on 805 south -> 54 east -> 125 south in my Hellrot E36 M3/4/5.

Amazing car, I want one so bad!
