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.

A nice mix of E9Xs and F8Xs, this was where the show really started to hit its stride.

2019 BMW M Fall Meet and Cruise

2019 was a lighter turn out, but still had over 60 cars. This was the first year I had my Nikon Z7, and the last time the run would end in Bear Mountain.

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