Due to Hit Destin...
Hey all, just wanted to see what the M scene was like in Destin. I am currently serving out my year long tour here at Kunsan AB, South Korea. I will be leaving in April and my follow on is Eglin AFB. Just wanted to see who or what was all out there in this location. I am coming from Phoenix where it was a vast abundance of M's all over the place as well as M specific shops. Thanks!

I was stationed out there in 98. Beautiful area, and the ladies are quite nice during spring break ;-) I don't remember seeing much high value cars, but the scenery is very nice. I would love to get stationed back out there.

Really?? I'm stationed at Fort Rucker, AL and my wife and I go down there often. Every trip we see either, a Ferrari, Bentley, 911 Turbo, etc. Last time we saw a Ford GT.

I go often for vacation (we have a condo there) and doubt you will see "a lot" of M cars or BMW enthusiasts. From what I gather, most would be people just like yourself with Military ties. Just as mark896 said, however, you will certainly see some nice exotics. Last time I was down a guy was pulling out in a yellow Ferrari Enzo. Needless to say, I pulled off the road just to hear it go by
Regardless, its a great place to have the M3. I love taking mine down there! Yours is absolutely perfect BTW.

I have a very good friend of mine that lives in San Destin across the street from Popano Joes... he was telling me that Britney Spears owns a place down the road on old 98.

There's not a whole lot of car enthusiasm around here, although there are plenty of cool cars around. I saw an Alpina Z8 and a Fisker Karma today at the Publix. My 1M gets almost no attention.
There's a BMW CCA club that has a meet about once / quarter. There's a Porsche Club that meets in Destin every month with a few cool cars/owners. That yellow Enzo owner showed up to their annual car show last fall Same dude owns an 840hp Ford GT There's a meetup at the Swamp first tuesday? of every month, although it is mostly JDM. I haven't been to this in a couple years. Smith Motorworks in Panama City brought some pretty cool cars out last year, so that's where I'd start for modding. I don't have good experience with the local shops or the stealer. |

Our local BMW CCA chapter, Gulf Coast Bimmers, is great, be sure to join if you are not already a member. We try to get together about every 4-6 weeks. Having a Road Rally with some other groups this weekend (Feb 9). Life on the Emerald Coast is great!

i forgot what his name was, though I'm pretty sure it wasn't Cash. The one I'm talking about is grey and black. I've also seen a red and white one and a yellow / black, although i don't know how modded they were.
