Moving to California

Hi Gang,
Just found out that we are being reassigned to Vandenberg AFB (even though my hubby is Army). Anyone have good info on the area (Lompoc, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara). How about a BMW service center to recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We should be out there in the July/August time frame.

That whole area is literally central CA, right next to the ocean. Perhaps the best overall location to be for nice waves and beaches.

A lot of nice small towns are scatterred throughout that area, from San Luis Obispo (nice, quaint college town) to Pismo (home of one of the most popular/commercial beaches in CA).

There are BMW dealers to be found throughout the area. I don't have any opinions on any but it's almost common knowledge today that the Santa Barbara dealer is considered to be one of the country's best European Delivery dealers.
