My Ride: 2011 520dA coming up.

I'll have everything on the menu please!
Haven't had any decent food since my daughter was born last meat.....sorry meet.

On second thought... menu 3 or 4 is ok for me, both look good. Let the majority decide.

And a T-shirt in XL please if possible. Doc Horror will pay for me, guess he owes me.

Looking forward to meeting you all again!

Is there anyone that can bring a SpeedBooster for a good price??

Nick, if only I had known earlier - I just arranged during my holiday to get 2 for Doc Horror and myself - we're curious to try it out. Maybe it's possible to arrange another one - I'll let you know during the meet.

Oh yeah - the restaurant's website has lower prices on their German pages than on their Dutch pages, but they have confirmed to me that they will charge us the prices from their German pages. I can't access their site from work, but will post the updated cost per person sometime over the weekend.

Got some problems with my car.
My car is only driving on the innerside of the tires, my BMW dealer kept saying that 20'' rims are not suitable for e60's.
What should I do?

Important shirt update !!

I have tried the shirts today and they are at least 1 size larger than they are labeled, so my plan is to make all the ordered shirts in one size smaller than ordered. If anyone disagrees to this please let me know a.s.a.p. because they will be printed tomorrow to arrive in time !

Measurements:

Size XL: 65cm wide / 77cm high
Size L: 59cm wide / 72cm high
Size M: 55cm wide / 67cm high
