OK boys here are some details. Meet up at the parking lot next to Ikea and the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN.
Here is the address to Ikea (8000 IKEA WayBloomington, MN 55425) and you will be able to see the empty parking lot from there. There will be plenty of room to line up our cars and take some pictures.

I was thinking we meet up in the early between 8-10am. Say hi for a half an hour take a few pictures and then get on the road. We will stop for lunch at a designated location TBA, eat, BS and then back on the road. We will be done with the run between 3-5pm. We can then take some more pics and head out to dinner together and hit the town or just head our separate ways.

Here is a map of the route we will be taking. I will have a detailed map to hand out to each of you with necessary route turns listed. The whole drive will take approximately 6 hours at the posted speed limits...of course it may take less time. The route can also be adjusted if you guys think it is too long.

Let me know what you cats are thinking.

Those considering coming from out of town please chime in and let me know what you are thinking as well.

Are we trying to keep this to an e60 only meet? If so, that's fine and I'll bring my 5er....but doing 277 miles may be more enjoyable in my Z4 with the top down.
