Damn, I want to come to this meet!
I have to be in southern Sweden the weekend before. I can't make a 10 day trip out of it, and there is no point to drive through Sweden again, a week later...
I will think about other options!

Hey guys,
won't be able to make this one - we'll be on vacation on the Greek islands during that period.
Shame really as the wife and I were looking forward to the trip to Munich hoping the initial tentative date at the beginning of April would stick - however chances of getting a good break in the weather seem better at the later date. Have a good one.

Joking apart, I had also planned the other date in, but it seemed to move. Its a shame you can't make it mate

There are a few hotel ideas floating around and this one also sounds good. Its always a nightmare doing a cruise/concoy through a city, so with it being close to the BMW Welt, that could be a real bonus. Would it mean driving across the city or are both on the same side of the city?
89,- for a good hotel is reaslistic, that's what we ended up paying for the (5-star) hotel in Cologne this time last year.

I'll be in New York the last two weeks in April Here are some ideas for y'all:
- Dont miss out on seeing "M" central (even though there's nothing really to see )
- You can't miss the piston building (which some people think is their HQ) it's opposite BMW Welt.
- The Fiz (their "real" HQ) is something to see too
- Taking a trip up the Olympia tower gives a great view of the Alps (on a clear day).
- Always be on the lookout in that area for prototypes. I saw an F10 there a couple of months ago.
- A short half hour trip from BMW Welt is their monster used-car extravaganza. You've never seen so many used cars in your life. The building is about 1 km long and four floors with 6 rows of cars on each floor. The salesman there said to me that they sell about 70 cars a day. They scoot round on little scooters it's so big. It's right next to the new-ish Munich football stadium.
I'd expect the weather end of April in Munich to be about 20 degrees Celsius typically. Not warm enough for the hundreds of naked people in the Englischer Garten park
If you want to get the Munich Oktoberfest vibe despite it not being September yet, you probably want to visit The Hofbr?uhaus Pub
Here's a useful site for looking at where the traffic jams (stau) are in real time. You can enter the number of the autobahn and it'll show you where they are.
Warning, the A8 between Augsburg and Munich (the final 60km of the journey for most of you probably) is working on expanding from 2 to 3 lanes and is constantly getting jammed up.
I've ringed some good bits of unrestricted Autobahn on this map in pink. The larger the circle, the longer the unrestricted part. In case anyone doesn't know, German truck drivers don't generally work at the weekend, so you'll see much quieter roads then.

Its a shame you can't make it, because I'd buy you a beer, a Mass of course, just for taking the time to provide all that great info -- thank you! Maybe you can join us at a future meet and I'll sort you out then
Love your comment about the Englische Garten, I'd forgotten about the naked area... some days its and others its
Where is this "M" central? Same location as the Welt?

Fellas, i would LOVE to go to this. I miss the WELT. My eurodelivery trip was one of the best weeks i've ever had. I'm sure my car would love to storm the autobahn again. I will be there in spirit. Take lots of pics.

Threeeeeee small comments
1. Love that you're now aparently danish So you are an English-German-Danish x-breed now??? Figures Viking heritage, combined with English sublety and German punctuality? Or was it more German sense of humor, English food and Danish (whatever they may do not so well - ummm- ah well Viking heritage again then) - Lethal combination.
2. Are you sure about me getting the No.6 spot? Check the response times
3. M M M M M M (means we need to go to M!) (Bmw M that is )
