You guys ready for Bimmerfest 2009? I am!
Here is the link to register for it: https://eventreg.bimmerfest.com/even...tdetail&EvId=3
Here is what Jon Shafer has to say about the upcoming event,

"This coming May 2nd, thousands of bmw enthusiast's from all over the West and many from beyond will converge upon Santa Barbara, California to gather at the 10th anniversary edition of the largest BMW meet in the world.

For this year's event we have moved our venue to the Santa Barbara Polo Club where attendees will be parking on manicured grass -- allowing for a "Concours 'D Elegance" atmosphere at the show.

Based on current projections we are expecting over 2,500 custom, classic, modified & stock Bimmers to be on display, with many competing to claim a prize in the infamous "Battle of the Bimmers" competition.

Caravans to the event from the Pacific Northwest, from the Desert Southwest, San Diego, the Inland Empire and Los Angeles are now forming.

Hope to see all of you Bf.c regulars there once again. Our new event site is only 1/8th of a mile from the beach, and people are already making their plans for pre- and post-'Fest parties...

Are you ready to rock?


Here are some images of the new event site which is more than twice the size of anything we've had before.
Plus... It's on grass."

Pics of this years venue:





Here is a video from 2007, I couldn't find any decent 2008 vidoes. This one is good up until min 6:30 where the camera man takes some artistic liberty.

Also, I am, with the permission of Jon, trying to do a cruise after bimmerfest like they did four years ago. I am working with chp to do this. It is an all euro drive though so invite all your friends. Here is a clip of a past bimmerfest drive:
Note: turn off the sound, the wind gets annoying.

All the information for the cruise can be found here: http://www.eurofanatics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22

Join the site and RSVP so we can get an idea of just how big this will be. :woot:

Make sure when you all come to stop by the Chumash and say whats up! Bimmerfest should be sick this year as always.

[bimmer ///man]

Yeah, we all need to take it real easy on the grass or it may be the last year. Haha.

You don't have to register, you can pay at the gate but if you plan on going you might as well pay in advance.

[xytron]

I think the cruise is possibly too long.. or else i would be all for it.

[GOLFFRR]

I considered this but there is no way to cut it shorter. If we take the first jump off it's still just as long time wise because of the slower moving traffic and stoplights.

Plus this is the traditional bimmerfest cruise route.
