Ray PM to other US members as I am from Europe, or to Santiago... but I guess if we gather fast up before Xmas Santiago may agree with them on an exact date, as it is the opposite.
If we are not enoug no meet!!!! so if we are enough we can decide for a Summer date and then meet up there or wherever we agree in Germany, then for the air tickets guess if you guys come over in groups for sure there must be a reduction or sg. Keep on comming and visit the thread, read it from 1st page then you see what is it all about.

As far as I understand it, we need to know first, how many we would be and we should vote for when the majority wants this meeting. That's why we are talking about it 6 months ahead. After we establish a minimum, Santiago will try to take care about cost estimation and we together we'll try to setup a tentative date.
I didn't realize there was another thread dedicated to this meet. Thanks Attila for all the publicity. We still have time and the numbers are growing, so for those of you - and future readers - who haven't read the entire thread (yeah, it's getting pretty lengthy) here's how I see things about the actual time for the meet:
Come December 30th I will close the list. Now, please be clear on this - I'm NOT dictating or demanding. The reason I need an end date for the sign up is because BMW needs 6 to 7 months to arrange for our tour. THEY are dictating the lead-time.
They host over 50 thousand people a year and it takes that long to get a date. So back to Dec 30th - that date gives us 6 months until June, 7 months to July and 8 months to August for BMW to offer us a timeframe.
I will negotiate with them on a date, but I have to have a day where I tell BMW "OK, I have 30, 40, 60 people signed up. Let's do this". BMW will come back and say, "We can sponsor your meet starting in June - or sometime after". I want to have options for all of us to attend.
At that time I'll get back on the board and post the given timeframe. This is the time of no bullshit for us. We HAVE to agree on a week where everyone who's signed up can make it.
Once all the participants have agreed on a timeframe (we actually have to agree on a DAY as they will not give us more). I expect all the shenigans to last three days for us here - four days max with the rest of the plan. So, once we have a particular week agreed upon, I'll give BMW that and they'll say yes - or no. If yes, we're set, if no, we'll come up with an alternative date - that's why we should have three different weeks to give them - that way WE dictate the timeframe - but within their constraints. I do not want to piss them off. They have agreed to do something nice, something beyond the butt hole tourist's tour. This is a bunch of serious 5-series owners and we'll get to talk to engineers and get a more in depth look at this thing. The normal factory tour has no room for questions and it just keeps you moving all the time and at the end, they deposit you outside the gate and you're done...
Travel: I will not act as a travel guide. You all will have to make your own arrangements for travel and all that. What I will do is research the hotels and make the calls and get them to agree to a good rate for the group - but that'll be after we have a timeframe set by BMW and agreed to by us, and especially, an amount of people set to attend. I need to give the hotels a good number of rooms and a good date 'cause the rates fluctuate very much in the summer months. I will post names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and all that, but you'll have to make your own arrangements.
As far as flights from the US - you guys will have to handle those yourselves as well. Condor is a charter airline operated by Lufthansa and Debbie and I use it exclusively to go back and forth (www.condor.de - Thomas Cook in the US). They have good rates, but they're restrictive as far as flight dates - they only fly Mondays to Europe and Friday back to the US. That'd give you three days on site, but you ass will be dragging because of jet lag.
So - that's it for now. I will update the attendance roster and post it sometime later. I thought it'd be easier to use as a table but it's proven difficult for some of you to manipulate and re-post. I will keep it in my PC and update it off line and announce the numbers weekly - or something.
Ah! Almost forgot, after we're set for Dingolfing, I'll see if I can get a line on BMW AG Munich and we can do that part - museum and all. Then a drive to Garmisch and overnight - maybe go to the Neuschweinstein castle and up to Bad Toelz. The plan would be Dingolfing - overnigh there, Munich the next day, overnight and Garmisch/Neuschweinstein /Bad Toelz the third day, overnight and return to wherever you came from on the fourth day so we're talking three hotel nights, four days of fun.
Again, these are suggestions. Anyone has a better idea, put it out there. I just want to have something to go by.
Last thing - I need suggestions from the Germany guys on an itinerary after Dingolfing.
Regards,
Santiago
