Hey guys. Did anyone park a silver tii square light at Washigton and Front tonight? I was parked around the corner on Front St. Red round light with silver bladed roof rack. I go to the gym around there a couple nights a week and never see any 02s. Albert

Alright let's make it official! Going to post to the events and main board now. I know a couple other NY 02's who aren't as active on the forum, and will let them know otherwise. You should do the same, if you know any!

Works for me also Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Works for me

Looks like Albert and Tom both prefer Sunday 10/7. And as for place, Jacob Riis Park is most popular with one vote Wondering if we should aim for Saturday 10/6 instead with Sunday 10/7 as the rain date?

A little far for me, but let me know what is decided Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Oh right, this jam here: http://www.yorktowncarsandcoffee.com/index.html Yeah, 8-10am is a bit aggressive coming from the city on a Sunday ;) But might be an easy one to tack on to for starters. Thoughts?

There's a Sunday morning C&C every week just off the Taconic in Yorktown, NY. Lots of cars, LOTS of Corvettes. I've only seen one 02. Kinda far for LI'rs, but weekly nonetheless.

Let's pick a date: https://doodle.com/poll/nw9ueadby5s98dec And let's vote on a place: https://doodle.com/poll/evpvh5u7pyr4u5gv Let me know if you have other places in mind that have public parking or plenty of street parking on the weekend. We can't meet on private lots (e.g. malls, Starbucks, etc) without registering our event. And since we'll likely be only a handful, I think we can manage this way.

Welcome, I would say another car is never a problem and any help you need with your 2002 always feel free to ask questions Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Just joined the club! Hello everyone! Unfortunately Fred, my 74 Tii, is incapacitated with a pretty long way to go to get him up and running again. But I have other cars, so if I'm around for one of the C&C's, I may just show up in a competing German marque if you don't mind? It would be great to see other cars to get some ideas and advice along the way. I can use all the help I can get! Thx! Nick

Riis is cool or even Ft Tilden right next door. Either works for me.

Sounds good to me, as long as its not too far for everyone. Im coming from Long Island myself Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I heard that if you do a meet-up in a public parking lot (e.g. a park) then you don't have to register the event. Maybe Jacob Riis off-season (late September, October) could be nice? Not too far for city folks, and easily accessible for the Long Islanders. What do you think?

I think we should be able to make it happen Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

If we get a group of at least 4-5 going, let's try to make it happen before the winter.

If I’m not in the beach chasing stripers (not to be confused with strippers-haha) I’m in. Please keep me posted.

Hey man I'm in!

Hi group, I'm thinking about organizing a Cars & Coffee later this year - maybe in September or October. Would you all be interested? How many cars could we get together you think? I think it'd be cool to get to know each other in person! Let me know! Erik

Hi Matt! Nice to know of another NYC driver. I haven't had to work with a mechanic yet (it's my first season as well), but a good friend and fellow BMW owner recommended these guys for all kinds of small and bigger jobs: https://www.yelp.com/biz/g-and-s-truck-and-auto-repair-brooklyn I should add that they're more of a general repair shop rather than body and paint specialists. But I would trust any referrals or other shops they work with. See you around! Erik

Hi guys, just got my first BMW '02 this weekend. It's a 1973 automatic and is extremely sound mechanically. The lone issue I do want to address is rust. Some areas are pretty light, but one spot low on the front skirt below the bumper may need to be cut out and replaced with new metal. I'm new to the Brooklyn area and new to '02s. Any recommendations for great repair shops in the area that won't break my bank? Not looking for a concours job, but really want to make sure I'm working with an honest repair shop that will address the issues and keep this manageable. Really appreciate any help this group can offer. Matt

Fellow NYC 02ers – I registered for this. Is anyone else coming? https://www.eagevents.com/event/carpark-cars-coffee/ I filled out the registration form yesterday and got a quick response with the address later. Would be a good time to meet other NYC FAQers!
