Anyone have a recommendation in the South Bay or Santa Cruz area for a shop for some exhaust install? Trying to get some catted DPs and a midpipe installed.
Silicon Valley Bimmer won't install a catted DP and I got one quote from Precision Motorworks but looking for other options to compare cost.

Is this a new C&C event? Haven't heard of it before.
Will definitely try to make it and finally meet some fellow M2 owners.

Yup! This is the first one, and we hope to continue this every month.

It looks like there are two C&C events being held tomorrow morning. The one listed above, and one at DIYorDie on S 10th St.

The DIYorDie one starts at 9am, so I might go to both. Spectra Coffee at 8, and DIYorDie after 9.

Having said that, I thought that C&C was an organization, rather than simply an idea. I don’t think either of these events are official C&C events.

Haven't seen any activity in our area recently, but I have been spotting some M2s the past few days.

Rather than starting (or resurrecting) the old spotted thread, I will just post here since this one is not too old.

Hopefully, some of you are in the forums and get some more activity on here!

Spotted:

Saturday - 4/1/2023
- Meteor Grey? OG M2 in Palo Alto area by Alpine Rd
- Hockenheim M2C on 280S, I waived to you, I was in the LBB, you gave me a look.

Today/Tuesday - 4/4/2023
- Alpine White? OG M2 on San Thomas Exp, you made a left on Stevens Creek Blvd.

Hello BayArea folks! New here and completely new to BMW. I've loved cars all my life and did a lot of Wednesday night drags in Infineon Raceway. I did step away from the car scene from the last 15 years. I have fallen in love with my M2C and would like to get a dyno tune. Does anyone still do this in the bay area?

Thanks in advance!

There's not really any regular dyno tuners, and the cost is pretty high (dyno rental per hour + tuner's time per hour).

Your 2020 M2C also probably needs a DME/ECU bench unlock first. I'm over in the East Bay and can do that for you. If you're interested in an off the shelf tune developed by our very own Enabled, I can help you with that too (here's a review by another forum member). I've dyno'd that tune as well.
