I've only just opened the July Straight 6 newsletter so was late seeing the item about a factory tour next year. This is likely to be in late June 2005 would take in Nurburgring, Hamann, Mercedes Museum, Mobile Tradition, M Power, Alpina, factories, Schnitzer... Also side trips such as Hitler's Eagles Nest.
Currently all 40 places have been provisionally reserved and there's a wait list. I've asked the Club office if there's any chance of a second group being organised so if you are likely to be interested, please phone the office on 01225 709009 to get your name added to the list, then post a reply that you've done so.
I know much of the area quite well and another alternative would be to organise a Z-only tour.
Current zeds on the wait list are
Zmurf
Giles and Larri

2005 Factory Tour
Hi Everyone,
Access to the Factory Tour, as has been posted elsewhere, is for club members only and is one of the many benefits you receive as a club member. It isn't as easy as just saying we'll organise one ourselves, because you cannot get access to BMW Mobile Tradition, the M Power facility at Garching etc etc. These are only accessible to BMW approved clubs. As Tim has already said, there is a reserve list but many drop out when they hear the total cost, so if you are interested, get your name down!!!
P.S - Coming next Spring, a rolling road shoot-out. Watch the club magazine/Straight-6 for more details.
