Invitation to 2002Fest – A Vintage BMW Gathering on the Central Coast (Sept 19–21)

[2002FAQ]

Hi All,

We’d like to invite you to 2002Fest, a three-day vintage BMW gathering happening September 19–21, 2025, in San Simeon, California — right along the beautiful Central Coast.

While the event is rooted in the BMW 2002 and Neue Klasse world, it’s very much open to other vintage models — especially e3s and e9s and other classic coupes that share the same DNA and spirit. If you enjoy scenic drives, great conversations, and spending time with people who actually get old BMWs, this is for you.

What to expect:
Coastal and mountain drives

• Car show & parts swap
• Tech talks and DIY sessions
• Group dinners and social hangouts
• Raffle prizes and sponsor swag
• A host hotel where everyone stays, parks, and relaxes togethe

We’ve got folks coming from all over California (and beyond), and we’d love to see some E9s in the mix. Whether your car’s restored, original, or a work in progress — you’re welcome.

Registration is open now at 2002Fest.com

Host hotel info and full schedule are on the site.
Hope to see some of you there!
