BMW CCA Peachtree Chapter Cars & Coffee

I am not sure why I waited until I bought the M2 to join my local BMW CCA chapter as I could have been going to Peachtree Chapter events for the last couple of years. After deciding to stick with a BMW for my track car, I signed up for the BMW CCA and marked my calendar for all the upcoming club events.

My first club event was a Coffee and Cars, which ended up having a big turn out. There must have been 50+ cars in the parking lot. I brought my nephew who, like most teenagers, never looks up from his phone. During the event the only time he took his phone out was to take pictures of the cars.

I also invited my friend Rich who has an original Z3 that he loves to drive just for fun. He is part of the Z club and has participated in a ton of their events. We ran into one of Rich’s friends who has an awesome wide body 2002 that he rebuilt from the ground up over the last 16 years. That car is an absolute beast, it weigh 2200 pounds and is pushing 300hp at the wheels.

While Rich geeked out about seeing the latest Z car up close and personal, I was excited to see an M2 CS that had just been picked up at the BMW facility in South Carolina. It was parked next to a 2019 M2 Competition in my favorite color, Long Beach Blue. There were a ton of M3s and M4s, a few M5s and a bunch of other models in various degrees of tune.

The best part of the event was talking with other BMW owners about why they chose their car and what they love about it. I met a group of guys that love to go on spirited drives and I hope to hook up with them on a great driving road soon. I also got a few more tips about preparing for my first Autocross and HDPE events.

It was a fun morning and I look forward to the next one.
