2015 BMW M Fall Meet and Cruise

We start here, where the show was really intended just for the E9X (A few F80 guys showed up). The show started in a restaurant parking lot with excellent NYC skyline views, but by 2017, it had already gotten to big, so we moved to a shopping center.

2016 – No show

My daughter was born in early November, and I was afraid the timing would be off.

2017 BMW M Fall Meet and Cruise

It rained, but that just made for dramatic images. After a year off, I took it upon myself to organize everyone, and this was the result.

It’s the most famous picture of my E92, and I took it a few minutes before everyone arrived.

Other automotive groups use the mountain roads in the fall, so it can get pretty crowded.
