BimmerFest 2012 Caravans - May 19th
So are there any planned caravans for Bimmerfest in Pasadena?

I am on the Westside, but would be willing to meet anywhere nearby to caravan into the event.

What is it?: The 13th annual Bimmerfest event is back at the Rose Bowl with the enormous grass lot H included in the fun this year. Last year was an amazing year and 2012 looks to be even bigger. Register online today and start making your plans to attend the best BMW show in all the land.

Date / Time: May 19, 2011 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Where: The Rose Bowl, 1001 Rose Bowl Dr., Pasadena, CA 91103

Entry Fee: $20 per BMW to park in the show OR $15 per person to walk in -- kids 12 and under are free

I registered but I'm not 100% if I'll go. I really should though as this is the closest I've been to the show since owning the beast.

There are 17 e39 M5s signed up right now and 60 e39 cars FYI.

I'm sure one way or another, there will be some kind of caravan along the freeway somewhere. See you all there!

Just an fyi, there will be a checkpoint in Sherman Oaks tomorrow at around 7-7:30am then will roll out to Pasadena by 8am. Some guys from the Southbay area will also meet up with us there at Sherman Oaks. Here's the address:
14424 Milbank St.
Sherman Oaks, CA 91423.

Its along Van Nuys blvd. across the street from Best Buy's indoor parking lot so best way to get there is from the 101 fwy exit at Van Nuys blvd then head east (south) then turn left on Milbank. Im bringing my AW E39 M5 with a couple of friends. See you there!

Laters,
Jose
