Thank you to everybody involved for all the effort you put into this "project".
I'm looking forward to meet other enthusiasts and to the different "Europe experience" over my life known there

Cool to see an almost 50 - 50 split between M3 & M4 in the group.

Going to be fun

Monday June 23rd: The Dream Begins
After many months of efforts as a BMW enthusiast led effort by myself and fellow forum member Karussell working closely with dealers, forum members and many others along the way, it has finally all come together into an epic experience. Our weeklong delivery and experiences will be featured with regular forum updates by Jason and attended by BIMMERPOST Moderators Southlight and Dackelone. We are also pleased to have Dackelone join us during the week to enjoy and report on our activities. Our group will enjoy a day of festivities at the Welt which also coincides with the fifteen Canadian Group ED members arriving later in the day beginning their Journey for what promises to be a memorable day. Our members will be receiving many BMW Goodies from our sponsors and BIMMERPOST to help commemorate the experience.

TRIP ITINERARY:
OFF TO THE RACES!
Our trip will begin with an exciting prelude as we join our very own group member Karussell who will be racing with his BMW racing team in the stock class of the 24 hours of Nurburgring on Sat June 21-22nd!! Our US contingent will be joining him in the frontlines from the Driver pit areas and BMW Corral to catch all the action and enjoy the festivities of what has come to be known as the "Superbowl of Car Racing"

Sunday Night we will head back to Munich Area for an evening dinner at the Welt Restaurant overlooking the delivery area where hopefully some of our cars will be setup for the morning.

Monday June 23rd the day finally arrives to do the Bavarian Happy Dance!
I doubt any member will get a restful night's sleep as anxiety builds toward the moment we have waited so long for to finally get behind the wheel of what many of us consider our dream car! What an an exciting day it will be indeed at the Welt picking up our cars and experiencing all the special tours and events available to us as part of the ED Experience.

Our trip will continue during the rest of the week with Backroad Group Cruises through the Black Forest, Swiss Alps and into Northern Italy (Stelvio Pass). Other famous routes and scenic roads will be included as well as we look to pile up the break-in miles in preparation for the big finale at the end of the week. Our tour will also include Meets and Events with local German BMW Car Club chapters, Performance Driving Instruction with planned stops at famed tracks Hockenheim and/or Spa, and of course nightly dinner parties at popular eateries and beer gardens.

THE GRAND FINALE


No ED visit to Germany would be complete without a lap on the Nurburgring for the Ultimate Driving Experience. We will be lapping the ring with the new BMW Laptimer App and competing for prizes. We also will have a photoshoot and a special stay at nearby Castle for our Members and their guests as part of the experience.

DISCLAIMER: Note that this event was planned by forum members with no direct official involvement with BMWNA Corp. Organizers are not employees or have any official connection with BMWNA. We are enthusiasts with a passion for BMW M brand. All activities, ordering process, and plans followed the normal ED Ordering process available to anyone with no special consideration or expectations. BMWNA received our Proposal and began formally working with us and dealers only AFTER orders were submitted and ED orders confirmed on a first come first served basis.

I started another thread asking who has booked an ED trip with dates to help find others. How about you take the lead Cipri! I will gladly handover my trip book so you can do it all over again with someone else

Hi there! If you happen to belong to a local club or a group of BMW fans we would certainly love to work out a meet and greet along the way and join us for a cruise as part of the M Goodwill Tour! We did plan and hope to meet up with as many European Chapters and have not had contact with anyone from Swiss yet.

Please inbox me your full contact information and will see what we can do.

[M4Trojan]

Awesome! Can't wait to see the pics! Wish I could have made the trip too.

[Ali.K_BMW]

Congrats all! Looking forward to the pictures!

Great minds think alike

[Suave]

The first post was updated to include latest developments to ED trip plans and they are good

[520860]

I've planned to visit BMW Welt on June 26th (and maybe 27th). Are you guys still in Munich on that day? If so, we could arrange something, I would be very pleased to see a new M3/M4, but a group of them is even better of course!

As of now we will be at the Nurburgring Wed and Spa-FrancorChamps track on Tue. You are welcome to come out and see a lot of these cars in action and where they are happiest! I could even arrange for a hot lap ride along to really give you a reason to visit. Feel free to inbox me with contact info and we can stay in touch.

Wow, that sounds even better! I'm going to look if we can come and check the cars out on the Ring on the way back home. When exactly on Friday have you planned to visit the Nurburgring?

As venues bookings are complete and booked I will update post and extend invites when possible. We are still sorting through travel and car drop off logistics first as quickly as possible.

[SF848]

For those that have booked flights already:

1. What airport are you flying in to?
2. What airport are you flying back from?
3. And when are you planning to head back?
