2017 BMW M European Tour

[01ON19]

Any word on whether they are doing this again?

I would believe so, every year they do it, it was a success and with the M2 CS coming out with our engine I'm sure they will make a big deal about that.

From what's posted, the M2 CS is coming out as MY2019 and wont be manufacture until 2018.

I am anxiously waiting/hoping for an M4 CS for this summer

Anyone have a point of contact on this?

I have my ED set for Apr 3rd, might have to change it for when and if they do it.

It's organized by BMW Canada. Try reaching out to their customer service so they can get you in touch with marketing.

Does the ordered car have to be fully loaded one?

Depends on what the program is like. I think it required exec pack in the first year, then in the second year it required individual paint + individual interior along with the M performance carbon package.

First year was 2013, and that was for M6 GC fully loaded with the 10k silver paint and individual leather.

Second year was 2014, and that was for the M3/4 with premium and executive package.

Third year was 2015, and that was for the M3/4 fully loaded with launch edition.

Fourth year was this year, and that was for M2 and M4 GTS only.

New M5 might be a possibility although later (September) than the normal CDN launches. However cutbacks at BMW Canada (these trips have cost them dearly) may spell an end to these fantastic opportunities.

Damn 4 tours, no matter what one you sign up for it's going to be epic!!!!

[zerofighter]

Anyone with experience of the prior tours? Wondering if there was an additional cost to the customer and if they did similar routes, track driving, etc as the 2016 M tour. The track driving in the M2 is quite appealing but I feel that might have been due the M2 and GTS deliveries.

I would assume that flight and accommodation are a customer cost, but since the accommodations are pre-determined by BMW wondering how payment was sorted out.

[M4_GTS]

I've done the tour in 2015 (M3) and 2016 (M4 GTS)

flight is customer cost, and hotels is covered during the tour.

Same route and hotels each time or are they different? Did they do some track driving on both?

[01ON19]

Somewhat different routes. Track driving on both. It is an incredible deal and I would definitely go again. Not clear though if they will have 2018 F8x available in late May.

You will have to speak with your sales rep, the sooner the better. There is a bit of paper work for them to do as well as Welt has to approve the delivery date. Once you get the ED date approved the fun really begins....and when I say fun, I mean obsession of checking airfare prices, hotel prices, logistics, etc.
