The SoCal Lounge

Wow, no SoCal Chat Thread? No SoCal Lounge? For you fellow SoCal Z4 owners, this is a place to kick your shoes off and unwind. This is free space to chat about anything and everything for us SoCal folk. I'm also going to try to keep relevant info in this OP too to make this a bit of a resource for newer Z4 owners.

---------------------------------
Regular SoCal Meets/Events
---------------------------------

If you know of any regular meets, post them and I'll update this post!

Bimmerfest - Pasadena
One of the largest, if not the largest BMW meet out there. To give an idea of scope, some will travel internationally just for this show yet for us SoCal locals, the meet resides in our backyard in Pasadena, at the Rose Bowl. Half car meet & half car show, with a huge vendor display, Bimmerfest is a MUST for any SoCal BMW enthusiast. Typically takes place in May.
http://www.bimmerfest.com/bmw-events

**Official 626 Bi-Weekly Dinner Meet!**
Ongoing meet since 2010 in 626. Bi-Weekly, good eats, all BMWs invited.
http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=457643

Big Socal Euro - San Diego
Annual meet for all vehicles, European. At this well-rounded show you'll see everything from Volvos, to Lotus ('Loti'?), to Ducatis & MV Agustas. Of course, us SoCal BMW owners all show up in packs, though this show also has a heavy VW & Audi attendance. The date often changes but expect to attend this show around the end of Summer each year. Oh, and did I mention there is drag racing you can enter in as well?

I need to re wrap my roof with new vinyl. You guys know a good reputable shop near San Diego that you would recommend? Looking for a quality job rather than the cheapest. Thanks for the help!

I'd say try contacting 2M Autowerks or TAG Motorsports - one of these two shops should be able to point you in the right direction

What color you going with?

I'd like to go with gloss black. It's what is on there now but just has faded over time.
I've been hearing and seeing things about 2M. Never heard of them until recently.
