Heading out to US - Want anything from UK?
Hey Guys,
I am heading out to San Francisco next weekend - if anybody wants anything from the UK, or this side of the pond - drop me a line.
It would be nice to meet up some beast owners out there...
Dan, (Beastpower) - are you anywhere near SFO? I may order some stuff to bring back with me.

Re: Heading out to US - Want anything from UK?
Hi Whizzkid11,
Let me first welcome you to the Bay Area! Enjoy the fantastic weather here and the land of, what many consider here, as one of the meccas of E28, E34 and E39 M5's. What are your plans here - business or pleasure?
BeastPower's Mountain View office is about 20-30 minutes south of SFO, but my understanding is Daniel himself is in the UK and has office there too, right?
As far as meeting Beast owners here locally, I'm sure more will respond to this thread shortly. Where will you be staying and do you have a contact number?
What are some specific M5 items that aren't available here in the US that you have in the UK - E34 specific? 
Regards,
Charles

You may be interested in attending this event on Saturday, Oct 16th, and you'll be sure to meet lots of M5 owners (and others). The event will be in San Carlos from 9am-1pm, and we're still waiting on final details and exact address:

BTW, my E34 Dinan M5 will be the guinea pig for Meguiar's detailing demonstration 
What are some specific M5 items that aren't available here in the US that you have in the UK - E34 specific?

Will this be a local drive? Or just a show?

Re: Heading out to US - Want anything from UK?
Speaking of which...I'll be in UK from October 28th until November 4th. Maybe I should pick a few things up from the dealership over there. Is there any particular dealership that I should try contacting while I'm in London? Any of you UK owners know?

Was - if you do see Daniel can you get me a pair of the rear sway brackets - you know I'm good for it and would really appreciate it......
