Honestly I forgot about this post myself until I saw it on the feed haha. I've seen 2 black ones on Sontera near 1604/281 on occasion. I've also seen a Platinum Blue Metallic near TPC and Stone Oak on 281 with advertising on the back window of the car? The Platinum Blue one is always on the other side of the road so I cannot get a clear view of the company or anything. Anyways just a bump I guess!
Edit: Unless you can't tell I'm out passed 281/1604 so anything inside the SA area I don't see too much of. If anyone is interested there is a Cars and Coffee at the Lowe's at The Rim near La Cantera this Saturday 1/11/13.

I have a midnight blue e55. It is need of attention at the moment as my youngest boy took it on a joy ride while I was out of town and cracked both front wheels, damaged lower oil cooler.
I just ordered the oil cooler and hoping all is well with engine.
If not I guess he isn't going to college..lol
Damn kids was my first thought then i remembered the time I took my dads 450SLC out when my parents were out of town. The thing overheated on me and scared the crap out of me. I got it cooled down and back to the garage it went. I drove it hard. Paybacks are a *****.

Ouch!! Sorry to hear that!
There's a few meets I attend usually on a monthly basis.
Every Friday Biff Buzby's Burger joint has a car meet off of 35 and Toepperwein.
This upcoming Saturday is Cars and Coffee San Antonio which is at the Lowe's at the Rim off of 1604 and I-10 at 8 A.M.-10:30 'ish.
I don't know if i'll make it it out to the Cars and Coffee this time but I'll try to get out there in the next couple months.
About 75% sure I'm going out to San Antonio Raceway this Friday, hoping the cold weather carries over
Good luck getting the car fixed and I hope to see ya around!
Just bump the post once the car is fixed up!

At SAR to race a z06 that a street racer named Romey(sp) had but the Mexico racing is also good and often there Austin action still a little better though. Making a trip to Austin and San A right after our TXY2K14 party here.

Yeah I figured it might be a little better than SA...
San Antonio is filled with BMW owner's and I find a lack of AMG's around

We are going to set up another world famous dyno day , BBQ and AMG meet at LSXdyno tuning in Victoria Tx, so PM your email and I add you to the list. Great place for old and new faces to meet and hang out. Bring your AMG or any other car or truck you want to dyno.

Of course! I'd love to see an SL55 come out! Where about in SA do you live? Would love to be able to meet up with you guys at Cars and Coffee or something!

I am in the Medical Center. Close enough for the meets here in SA. I have done Biffs and SAR with my previous car and a few of the C&C meets when I lived in Austin. C&C here should be fun.

I find group day trips to be just as fun. For example, finding an interesting lunch place such as Salt Lick BBQ or Dave's Hamburgers in the hill country. Or cruising Willow Loop.

I have only had my car about 6 weeks and so far it is stock. I really need to practice my launches with this one.

Well we definitely need to go to Biff's then! I love going out there, I usually try to make it out there once a month or so... I was thinking of going out this Friday just let me know what you think. I'm not 100% on going but if you want to go out I would make an effort to make it out as well!

Let me know,
Kyle

I've yet to find one... There are an abundance of BMW shows but no reputable MB shops that I would trust to do any mods or something along those lines... Maybe a service or two but at this point I might as well go to the dealer while I have a warranty. I wish I knew of a quality shop that was certified to work on MB's. At the moment it looks like the closest would be Austin or Houston..
