Here's the info from the M3 meet. I modified it for the E60 group. They will be leaving between 11:30 and 12noon. There's some good directions/tips in their instructions. Take a read. Any more ideas?

INVITE:

WHEN: SUNDAY, DEC. 5th, 2004

TIME: 11:30 am SHARP. We will be leaving for the drive by 1:00pm!!!!

MEETING PLACE:
Ralph's "Malibu Colony Plaza" on PCH
23841 W. Malibu Rd. Malibu Ca. 90265

Fastest way to get there is taking the 101 FWY NORTH and exiting Las Virgenes Rd. WEST towards Malibu. You will reach Pepperdine University on the right side corner.

Once you reach PCH/HWY 1. make a LEFT. It is the Plaza on the RIGHT side, down the hill. There is plenty of open parking in the very back, right against PCH in the Ralph's parking lot. We will all park in reverse formation and side ways. Taking up the entire rear parking lot.

Wow~it will be so huge with all those Bimmers in that parking lot. im so excited

 

Me too.... ......I keep counting those days down.

Central Cali

 

Yup, M3er's are meeting as well. They're parking to the right of Ralphs, against Pacific Coast Highway. We can park to the left...behind Ralphs where there's one row of parking. I'll check this weekend to see how many spaces there are.

I also had another thought. What if everone makes sure they're not starving for lunch when they arrive at 11:30. I would be willing to provide doughnuts, croissants, juice - (sorry coffee would be tough!), then take our drive and end with the restaurant. If Ralph's has a deli, I can have them cater us thereby giving us a better chance to get approval to do the photo shoot behind the loading dock at the nice circular turn-around. (I'll see if I can get a hold of a manager this weekend.)

Thoughts?

 

I think that's a good idea. While were in the parking lot, whoever is hungry can go grap a bite at subway, ralphs or what have you. We can then follow up with a drive and a sit down meal if anyone is interested.

 

Ya I think that would be a great idea... Make sure you're not starving and then sit down food, talk, and share stories about the drive after.

Securing a row of parking would be awesome! That would look great!

 

good idea!

 

I like that as well. Then we can spend more time for the "meet & greet" part instead of the "meet & eat".

 

Great! Let's proceed with this order. I'll check out what I can this weekend and next weekend and post my findings. Thanks all.
