ZHP Mafia Meet: Crevier BMW Museum -- June 4, 2011

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Many people do not realize that Crevier BMW has a private (vintage) collection of BMWs owned by the Crevier family. The Crevier BMW museum is located underneath the dealership. It's a great chance to see some vintage BMWs up close and personal. Cameras and video cameras are allowed.

Zach Roberts, who serves as curator for the museum, will be entertaining our ZHP Mafia group. We will be doing the tour on Saturday, June 4, 2011, at 11 AM.

See pictures of the June 4 event here (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?3186-ZHP-Mafia-Meet-Crevier-BMW-Museum-Pictures).

Crevier BMW
1500 Auto Mall Dr.
Santa Ana, Ca. 92705

After the tour, we'll likely head over to Spectrum (in Irvine) for lunch.

If you're interested, please sign up in this thread.

Here's a little video that someone took of the museum:

[johnrando]

Count me in!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

John, tell me which Saturdays you cannot do this -- starting with this Saturday and going through June 18 (June 11 is out for me).

Thanks, JR.

By the way, anyone who is interested in this, please let me know which Saturdays from now until June 18 that you cannot make it.

Thanks.

I have sent messages to Jorge, Terry, sg, and sqweak. When they confirm that June 4 works out, I will shoot a note to Zach and let him know what we're locked in for June 4, 2011, at 11 AM.

[Jorge86]

I'm in. I can do June 4.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Cool. June 4 is now the official date. It's never going to be easy to find a day that works for everyone. May as well get a day and stick with it.

I will change the first post in the thread.

June 4, 2011, at 11 AM it is.

I've confirmed this with Zach. He's looking forward to seeing our ZHPs.

[tripod06]

Sweet!! How exciting and great this will be!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Should be fun. Looking forward to it.

[johnrando]

Great, thanks for setting this up!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

You are welcome, John. Just me networking at Bimmerfest. That's where I met Zach. Turned out to be a great guy. He is the one who invited us.

[norman@southbayBMW]

Count me in and a guest June 4th sounds good

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Cool. See you there, Norman.

[RITmusic2k]

Alright... I'm almost definitely +1 and quite likely +2. If that's kosher.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Good to hear, Dougie Fresh.

Should be a good meet.

There will be five cars coming out of San Diego. We should roll together.

[Johnmadd]

I want pics from multiple peeps, especially casey, maybe marcus can hold your light and reflective umbrella. Bart Scott.

[C Withers Media]

I would like to ride with someone if possible. I just pulled a service engine soon light today and will need to get it looked at before I am comfortable going on a longer drive.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Casey, you can drive with me. Would you mind coming up to my house and parking the car here?

[ZSP-Mafia]

I would like to ride with someone if possible. I just pulled a service engine soon light today and will need to get it looked at before I am comfortable going on a longer drive.

I can take you to Marcus' place, or you can ride up with me.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Actually, that's a good idea. You guys could meet me up at my place and we could go from there.

[ZSP-Mafia]

Sounds good.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Actually, we should all meet near my house. There is a Walmart, Starbucks, etc., near me. Meet at 9:35 AM. We should be at Crevier by 10:45 AM.

Casey and Jorge are both familiar with that location. Casey, we stopped there on the morning when we went to the golf tournament. Jorge, same place we met last time (when we went to the BMW clean car contest).

Here is a satellite picture of it:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/marcussandiego/creviermeet.png

We will meet where the two ZHP Mafia logos are. That's 78 west to Nordahl (if you're coming from the 15 north). Turn right when you get off the freeway. After you turn right, immediately start making your way to the left side of the road, so that you can turn left at first light.

[uberpanzer]

Not sure exactly what we're doing on heading north, since we are still waiting to hear back from Josie's sister and her b/f as to whether they are making it +3 or not. Basically we're playing it by ear and probably not heading up in the group, but we'll see.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

As we get closer to Saturday, just let me know, Doug.

Anyone here from the LA , Southbay , Oc want to meet up somewhere and convoy to Crevier BMW on Saturday ?????

[C Withers Media]

I can take you to Marcus' place, or you can ride up with me.

This would actually be perfect.

I need to save up a few bucks and drive as little as possible to get this thing looked at.

[johnrando]

I'm in Norman. (South Bay).

I live in Cerritos where do u wanna meet up????

[johnrando]

How about near the same place for Bimmerfest? There is a Starbucks at 11401 East South Street Cerritos, near the Cerritos Mall, at the corner of Gridley and South Street. How about 9:15, leave by 9:30?

[RITmusic2k]

The meetup isn't until 11:00, right? Cerritos isn't more than a half hour from Crevier, I'm pretty sure...

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Correct. In the building at 11 AM.

[C Withers Media]

This sucks, but I am out... Too much stuff happening this weekend for me to realistically enjoy myself and shoot.

[johnrando]

The meetup isn't until 11:00, right? Cerritos isn't more than a half hour from Crevier, I'm pretty sure...

OK. Norman, let's meet at 10 instead. Anyone in the area want to join us?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Sorry to hear that, Casey. We'll miss you.

Ok 10 sounds good see u there

I'm getting my other people from other places, so I'll be catching you guys once we get to Crevier ~

[GSEN820]

Marcus i am trying to get in on the action this weekend. ZHP is going into the shop but I still have another e46 that will come. Gotta talk the Boss (AKA Girlfriend) into this. Keep you posted

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Gary, I saw you tonight at the euro meet. I'll add you to the list.

Guest list updated. This meet is in two days. If you want to go, let me know.

[johnrando]

Looking forward to it. Friendly reminder to bring my mirrors and t-shirts.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Thanks for the reminder on the mirrors. I would have forgotten them. Shirts are ready to go.

[GSEN820]

I will be meeting up in the morning. Rolling solo but got the free pass to go. Will be installing M3 mirrors today by Dave 2M Auto Body

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I am going by Dave's today. What time will you be there?

As for tomorrow, see you at the meeting spot at 9:35 AM (near my house).

[GSEN820]

Around 130 or around there.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I will be there at 1:30 as well. But only staying a few minutes. Need to grab something from Shane.

[johnrando]

You going to 2M? Tell Rich I want to talk to him about buying his springs.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Yes. I will be over there. I have your cell number. I will have him call you.

[RITmusic2k]

Crevier's service department should be open for business, shouldn't it? I might try to have them update my DME while we're at the museum...

[johnrando]

Good point, I'll ask them about the trunk sticker. You might want to call for an appt regarding a DME upgrade. It seems like many places are hesitant to do it or they charge a lot.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Crevier's service department should be open for business, shouldn't it? I might try to have them update my DME while we're at the museum...

Yep. They are open.

[tripod06]

Crevier, for those of you that have never been there, is a mad-house on the weekends especially on Saturdays! i hope it will not be for us all BUT i am just speaking from experience. John, i want to meet up with you guys! Kevin, you are meeting with other people before heading down?

[johnrando]

Starbucks right by the Cerritos Mall at 10, come join us!

[RITmusic2k]

Dammit. Crevier's service department is fully booked for tomorrow. Oh well, I had a nice conversation with the receptionist anyway.

[johnrando]

Too bad. Is it something they can do in the future, or do they have to check first?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

In 2010 crevier sold more BMWs than any other dealer in the US. Busy, busy.

Right you are! The service department only has about 1/3 of its staff there on saturdays, so it is crazy busy! Surprisingly though, alot of it is car washes! It won't be busy for this meet though. The museum is reserved for the ZHP mafia, so you are all more than welcome to go wild!!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Zach, we'll see you in the morning, pal. Thanks for entertaining us.

[uberpanzer]

OK. For sure it is me and +1 only. Josie and I will be there but not josie's sister and her man. Oh well. She'll have to figure out later that she needs to be down with the ZHP crew. See you all in the late morning. :)

[sg552sd]

Quick question. The address posted in the first post of this thread is for the actual dealership, not the vintage showroom, correct? The showroom address is this right?
365 Clinton Street
Costa Mesa‎ CA‎ 92626
United States

Just wanted to make sure I showed up at the right place :) Thanks!

[RITmusic2k]

It's at the dealership :)

Definitely, thanks for hosting us!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Thank you all for coming down to check out the museum! Hope you enjoyed it!

Zach, we really appreciate the invite and the hospitality. Great experience.

We will be looking to do visit the other museum soon. I will contact you.

[GSEN820]

Zach thanks again it was a great experience to see all those cars in one place. Especially the guide private tour.

Still waiting for the parts I ordered = )

If you change your mind on the 540 I will gladly take it off the hands of the musuem

[sg552sd]

Yes thanks so much for hosting, it was an awesome experience and some great cars too :) I'm sorry I missed so much of it, you'd think that living close would make it easier for me but I've never been too good at directions, so my apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks for including me though, I enjoyed meeting some of you and I'm looking forward to the next meet whenever it is so I can meet the rest of you :)
