Most of us BMWCCA members who are fortunate enough to reside in New Jersey have been invited to the annual meeting at Woodcliff Lakes on June 24.
I have attended the last few of these. Here is what typically happens:
They usually unveil some new model in the outer reception area. I have a hunch it will be an M5 this year.
Then Each BMW brand manager, from 3 series to 7 series, makes a presentation to the audience lasting usually for about 5 minutes. Each touts the virtues of his brand, citing the revolutionary advances, increasing sales , etc.
Then comes the fun part; the open question and answer period wherin audience members may ask anything of the BMW folks. These guys are highly skilled at giving non_answers and yet remaining audience friendly.BUT they do answer enough to keep the mystique alive and keep our appetites whetted.
If anyone has any info that they want, let me know; I will try to get it for you.

absolutely!!! let BMW NA know if they havent read the mags of late that Porsche is offering the new Cayman S which will have 298hp, and that a 640i with ~306bhp would compete nicely here in the US!!!!

Ask them when they're going to add the URL to this site in the owner's manual and/or stick a cling decal on the rear quarter window during production at the factory?

Mark - It starts at 7PM.
Incidentally, it always starts with a very nice buffet dinner that BMW provides all visitors as a courtesy.
It's a freebie and in the past, has been quite delicious.
By the way, BMW welcomes all owners, not just us fortunate New Jerseyans.
