Caravan to Bimmerfest

utfenix335i · 07-25-2012, 01:42 PM

I'll be at the caravan spot at College Park Ikea. the 88+ cars is including everyone from Nova, DC and MD. I'm going to post up the route and instructions for the caravan in a few days.

alpinewhite335 · 07-25-2012, 02:14 PM

is there any meeting point around white marsh or somewhere near Baltimore?

utfenix335i · 07-25-2012, 03:33 PM

The plan would be to leave from College Park to rendezvous with people at White Marsh Ikea, like last year. Then White Marsh to Aberdeen. MoCo, PG County, and Nova people will meet up by 9 am at College Park Ikea.

Unlike last year, I'm going to opt to have a series of road captains so no one gets left behind.

Didn't we leave from Rockville to the College Park IKEA last year? It was like 5am I don't remember anything. Lol.

cityazndan · 07-27-2012, 07:53 AM

I'm in for the Tysons meetup.

Pat@sonictuning · 07-27-2012, 08:10 AM

Sounds good. I will hold the Tysons meet so we can all converge and caravan up to Ikea of College park to meet up with the rest of the group.

utfenix335i · 07-27-2012, 09:18 AM

Just meet at CP's Ikea. The Rockville one was unnecessary last year.

Pat@sonictuning · 07-30-2012, 09:10 AM

+1

I didn't bother going to Rockville because it was waay to early.

Going straight to Ikea from my house probably saved me an hour of sleep, lol.

Hey all, so this is the official caravan details for the one I'm setting up.

The road captains will be limiting our cruising speed to 75-80 mph in order to keep the pack together all the way up to Aberdeen . Bear in mind we will be taking video and pictures while cruising up to our meeting points, so safety in a prime concern. So long you stay behind the road captains, you can move from lane to lane as you please. To stay in touch, please make sure you have a two way radio charged and ready to go. We want to create a video that looks like this:

The plan is to start from College Park's Ikea at 9 am sharp and cruise up to White Marsh Ikea. A camera car(s) will be sent up to the Maryland Rest area on I-95 between DC and Baltimore where it will wait for the caravan to show up. The road captains will lead us through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnels so we have all tunnels filled with BMWs. Although some off us don't have Easy Tags, this will be the point where some of us will get separated. Take your time and rendezvous in White Marsh Ikea. Once we arrive there, we will wait for everyone to assemble. Once gathered, we will depart again. Estimated time of arrival at Cal Ripken Stadium is about 10:30-10:45.
