The BMW CCA New Mexico Chapter hosted a dinner gathering on Thursday evening, February 20, 2025, in Bernalillo, NM. The event took place at Bosque Brewing North, formerly the site of Jackalope, on the west bank of the Rio Grande. Attendees enjoyed great food, an excellent beer selection, and lively conversations about BMWs and the upcoming Chapter Tour of Acoma Sky City.

The evening was originally set to include a Garage Night Technical Session at Jim Levandoski’s garage in Placitas after dinner. However, the lively atmosphere kept everyone engaged, and time slipped away. A few attendees stayed late to admire Jim’s ’33 Factory Five Racing Hot Rod, featuring a tube frame and a Corvette LS3 engine—an impressive build! Some enthusiasts headed to Jim’s garage for a demonstration of INPA software in action on his E39 540 and a discussion about the transmission he is currently rebuilding. A big thank you to Jim for organizing such a great event!
