Second newsletter as of December 2002:
Hi M5 driver
The organisation committee has had a second meeting and here is the news:
1. Changes of the routes
Because the first day was planned to long in distance, we decided to start
in Zell am See (Austria) instead of Berchtesgarden (Germany) on Saturday,
the 6th of September 2003. We will drive/cruise to Fondo (Italia), taking
several of the most impressive passes. On Sunday we are going to start in
Fondo and drive to Davos (Switzerland) instead of Samnaun or Andermatt
(Switzerland), because some participants would like to drive home on Sunday
evening, and Samnaun is to deep in the Alpes. Andermatt has been the finish
place this year already.
2. Opening for other BMWs
As we will arrive in Davos in the early afternoon on Sunday, we can meet
there some other BMW car drivers, that would like to join us for line up
and trips.
3. Diversa
Only E34 M5 and E34 B10 can subscribe to this meeting.
All other rules and decisions of the 1st newsletter keep valid.
If you lost the first newsletter, you can order it by contacting me under
hzweifel@web.de.
By now, 8 cars have been subscribed to the meeting 2003.
The next newsletter will follow at the end of February 2003.
If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me by email.
