As of now our schedules have shifted a little bit depending on availability of driving instructors and tour organizer working with us. Spa may well be on Tue and all 20+ Cars will be there from 6pm to 8pm for private time and pictures. If you are willing to take the day off to come visit us I dont see why I cant get you on the driver pits with us. We pretty much have every interior/exterior color combinations even a AY/SO. It would be great to include some locals and visitors to this event somehow so please stay in touch as you see updates.

Congratulations to all those involved. Its not easy to plan and then execute any idea that incorporates people from all over the country on one schedule. Hope you guys have the time of your life. Take pictures and share some stories when you get back.
My one question is the BMW break-in period. They say keep it below 5000 RPM's for the first 1200 miles. How does this group plan on going through all the M training classes and drives while staying below this recommended allowance? Seeing how tightly the trip is planned, Im sure there is something I am missing. Couldn't be happier for this group. Last edited by Damasconian; 04-21-2014 at 02:38 PM.. |

Joking aside, this will be an interesting point. On my current ED M3, I had 471 miles when I dropped it off at Frankfurt. They did the 1200 mile service at 474 miles when it came back stateside to the port and I drove the car according to the break-in schedule for the E92 when I was in Europe. I'm not gonna say who, but a non-service BMW employee told me I could've driven it a lot harder and been fine Obviously the M cars are the only ones that BMW still even schedule a service that early (on their bill ). I'll be curious that since the S55 runs a more conservative oil and revs compared to the S65/S85 days, what BMW's take on it is. Last edited by ramuman; 04-21-2014 at 02:24 PM.. |

Impressive work.... Where are you guys going to stay in Spa? I have been there and it is only one place to stay. A nice small hotel, not fancy, not cheap, but a lot of charm! The chef help us fixing on of the cars we brought in the middle of the night. I think the had a star in the michelin guide a couple of years back. Red bulls f1 team stay there during spa gp. You have to stay there to understand. I can send you the info if you want. If you have time and want to come to Norway let me know. Ot: I am looking on an m4 with active protection. Anyone of you guys that have it in the cars you have ordered? How will it react whene tracked?

epic!!
I'm picking up my m3 on June 24! Wish I got in on the 23rd group. Would love to meet up with you some where. I'm planning 1,000 mile road trip through Alps then up North. Servicing car (not sure where yet) then hitting up Spa, the Ring and hopefully another track (not sure where yet).
This will be my 3rd ED. Last ED was for a 2011 e93 m3. Drove up to ring and spent a day at Spa. Best trip ever. Can't wait to do it all over again! |
