Donnington - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Is anybody on this forum going to Donnington in October for the indoor BMW show?
It was 'ok' last year, hopefully this year will show a marked improvement......................but I thought I'd make the trip anyhow.

I've been toying with the idea !! I'll have to check the dates. I went with my 735i about 4 years ago. It was pretty good. There was a field just allocated for parking BMW's. Munich Legends were there as well....

Does it last for 2 days or just 1 ? I can't remember. I'll check for more details and update this post. I've only got to travel from Chesterfield or Stoke, so it's no great journey.......

All the best

Hi Andy G

Yes, I've agreed for my M5 Touring to go on the one of the stands. Hopefully see you there.

It'd be nice to go and show off my freshly restored & rebuilt E30 325i Sport.

Assuming I have it back together by then

What date is it on?

Cheers,
Bryn.

Thanks to Google, I find that the show is Sunday 27th October.

I shall be there in my 1995 6 speed - Avus Blue.

All the best

Hmm, it looks like its going to be a nice little
gathering !
I'll have to make time for it too !

Is it in the club magazine Andy ??

Sounds like a plan

Maybe we should all try and meet on the way, ie;local service station? Could be cool to have a few E34 ///M5`s all together.

Now how good will that look

I will be up for that !!

Alan,

It's a drivers club organised event, but publicised in all the BMW mags now.

A tie up will be good, on the Alpina section there is about 4 or 5 other cars going up, so a meeting point will be a good idea, plus a time. (any ideas anybody?, I'll have to search the net for a location, as I'm not sure of that part of the world

)

JoniP
any details on your e23 Turbo at all, can you bring some up?
One of the Alpina members may have his 6 series Alpina on display, so hopefully it'll be a good meet!

AG

I will try to bring as much information as possible with me and some photos.

BTW she is a South African M745 fitted with the Motorsport engine and not an e23 Turbo.
