Calling all OC/LA/IE M5 Owners - Caravan to MFEST V thread

M5 Jed · Mar 13, 2011

MFest V is just over a month away. I thought I'd start out the caravan thread now. Anyone sign up for it yet? We can all meet up at Bass Pro Shops right off the 15 fwy, they have a nice big parking lot. Its also a good meeting point for all 3 counties since more than likely you'll have to pass through there as you head to Vegas.

If you haven't registered, the cutoff is March 22. That is in 10 days!!!
Registration fee is $150 and takes 5 seconds to do it. Don't even have to bust out your credit card. The system will take you to paypal and suck the money right out of your checking account. Make sure you choose the size for the $150 tshirt.

Here's the link to register:

Sup brah! Honestly I haven't checked for caravan threads at the MFest board. I will check it later and give an update.

We have a good group in the IE going, just wondering where the heck they are all at, must be busy. But thanks for signing up, now I don't feel so alone!!!

Havasusteve, Eddie, YK, Javier, pharmdogg, Revo, where are you guys??? You guys going? Winter is over, brush the cobwebs of your beasts. (like we really had a winter, lol).

Waz up Jed. Just got back from Phoenix checking out Spring Training baseball with the family. already signed up. Per the MFest site, IE folks are meeting up in Ontario; Krispy Kreme's. I'd rather meet up with our posse so what ever works! Just let me know! YK is going for sure. Not sure about Eddie.

What's up fellas? Im in da house. As you can from my signature, I've been busy with upgrades... My Beast has also been in the shop for over a week :crying2: with a ECU that needs to be replaced (should be in tomorrow) and I had a leak in my oil cooler and was also leaking coolant. All covered under my extended warranty though and hopefully I'll be back and running Mon or Tue. Of course you know I'm going to MFest. Where are you all meeting at? I'll check the MFest site for the IE meet up location. It's gonna be sick and it's of course sold out!

YK! Wassup man! You've been busy with your car, lots of new mods, can't wait to see it.

Thanks for signing up for the list. Talk about thread fail, hahahahaha!

Still haven't checked Mfest for the caravan site, but for sure I will meet up with all of you before heading up to LV. Just been busy, got back from a week in mormon country and heading out now to mammoth for another week of epic riding. Major dumpage going on right now.

tigerljj · Mar 27, 2011

What's up fellas. Is the plan for us to form our own caravan? If so, we should leave early to avoid the long caravans and more importantly, the long wait at the hotel. Thoughts?? I went to the LTBMW meet today and met up with some other members who are willing to go early to MFest to avoid the crowds.

Hey Gents! I strongly feel we should ride along with the IE caravan as that's one of the fun parts of it (I'm told and read) to ride up to Barstow with all the other M's then everyone caravan together from all over the stage country to Vegas. I've read that they are very well organized and do a good job of getting everyone taken care of once up there. 26 days and countin'!

tigerljj · Mar 27, 2011

You're probable right YK. I met some folks yesterday who've done the caravan but are leaving early this year. I'd rather ride with our group/people I know whether early or caravan.

M5 Jed · Mar 28, 2011

This is gonna sound lame, I just spent 20 minutes on the MFEST forum looking for the IE official caravann thread, I couldn't find it. I'm ok if we meet up with the rest in Krispy Kreme's or at Bass Pro shops. Do you guys really want to leave that early?

tigerljj · Mar 28, 2011

Here is the link to the MFest Caravan Starting points. Jed, what do you mean if we want to leave this early? If we leave with the caravans, won't we leave when they leave? Thanks.

Let's meet up with the IE caravan at Krispy Kreme and roll with them. Jed good post on the MFest board! Now I know what to bring as there is a dress code (no jeans) for some of the nightlife.

M5 Jed · Apr 3, 2011

Thanks YK, yes, we'll meet up at Krispy Kremes, no prob. Now I have to start prepping the car for that weekend.

ykjones · Apr 3, 2011

My Beast should be more than ready for MFest. Monday will mark day #20 that the Beast has been with Autohaus Frankfurt in Temecula. New ECU, oil cooler hose, coolant hose and sensor, brand new clutch and parts, flywheel, Dinan High Flow Mass Meter Intake installed, Dinan Stage 3 software installed, new spark plugs, brake fluid flush and oil change....I'll be all set for MFest! Just gotta be patient and break in the new clutch right when I pick her up Mon or Tue. Been losing my mind without my beast but it will be so worth it! My extended warranty (Zurich) covered everything ($6425) except for the maintenance stuff and the Dinan stuff I had installed.

There is going to be a dinner for some of the Los Angeles M5 owners going to MFest and it will be next Thursday 4/21.

I will send all the posters on this thread a private message.

Best,

Gene

M5 Jed · Apr 13, 2011

Thanks Gene, I should be able to make it.

Tho///a5 · Apr 13, 2011

woah $150 tshirt?! I'm confused... what's this for exactly? To go to Mfest it's $150? or to show at Mfest?

PS i'm trying to organize a meet for anyone local to San Gabriel Valley. If that's you check out my thread in this forum for the meet. I'm probably not invited to that M5 dinner in Los Angeles, but it'd be nice to meet fellow 5 owners.
