Event: BMW Individual Cars & Coffee Hosted by the 490Club

It’s great to see tailored cars coming into their own as an impetus to have a gathering. Sometimes it’s something as large as Rare Shades or a simpler club gathering like the one we recently had the pleasure to attend. Held by the 490 Club and organized by Gabriel Roque, it was primarily a mix of BMW Individual owners who gathered on January 4th Buenas Cafe y Mas in Costa Mesa, CA.

The gathering was open, meaning all makes and models were welcome at the gathering. However, designated parking went to the tailored BMWs.

The mix of Individual cars was an enjoyable focus. First up were two M3s parked next to each other, one F80 and another G80.

Some of the cars in attendance to highlight: two laguna seca M3s. one F80 and the other one G80, they later parked next to each other at the show. Another car you couldn’t miss was Liz Susitko’s Mint Green F80 M3 – one of four produced worldwide. More subtle, but no less notable was another F80 M3 in Moonstone Metallic.

We’ve run a gallery from the gathering below. Check it out.
