Hello everyone,
Its all coming together just nicely
MacSid and I have been working away at this in the background and are in the process of consolidating all the information in one document / post. This will include details of the meeting points, obtaining T?V emissions stickers (where necessary), routes, the restaurant, the 'Ring, and the hotel & night out in Cologne.
Some of you mentioned that friends of yours or people from other forums may be joining us. Can you please follow up on these over the next week or so, so I can get the restaurant reservations sorted and we can get everyone's details for the info document -- thanks!
We're only a couple of weeks away now, so make sure to get those summer shoes back on your ride, get those new mods fitted on time*, and get everyone signed up for the event...
Cheers
Pete

Dear members,
I need help!!! I'm in Barcelona now and will be here until the end of week - and I want to go to the meeting very much - the trouble is my car, I have Service check light on - in next 1000 Km and Oil in next 2000 Km, Nurburgring is ~1200 Km away. Also I had to order new rubbers last week...
via http://www.pneus-online.es - I hope they are reliable and they will ship it no later than tomorrow! I can't run on my old Dunlop RFTs anymore, car vibrates badly over 80 Km/h. So that's a service check and tires before the meet.
I want to make sure everything will work out and the car is ready to go - do any of you by any chance know someone / has a friend in BMW in Spain? Can be in Barcelona or Girona county ... Please let me know ASAP Thank you

Oil change is a 30 min job... Try to drop by a BMW dealer and ask them if they could change the oil while you wait. The dealers are not fully booked each day, and an oil change would be a easy fix for them.
The vehicle inspection, as the iDrive shows, is a service you could wait doing, or just skip.. It's a security check, brakes are inspected, the body is inspected, tires, lights etc.. A complete waste of money, if you ask me.
