Eh why attend by plane, when this is an X5 meet. One of these days, I gotta make the trek down to the USA for one of these meets.

I reckon my X5 would have gone the greatest distance. :D

Well, agreed (sorta -- md is driving here in his vette!)... The main reason to meet is to get to know all the fellow board members more than anything else. Anyway, hope you can make it down sometime. :thumbup:

Juan

LCC Confirmed!

Hey J, even thought I cant be there, FYI, this is a great thing. Hopefully there will be one next year or some other time in the near future...I will be sure to be there... :thumbup:

Oh yeah, BTW, I just got back from the pub so please forgive me for my slurred typing..I was introduced to a "new" Carlsberg Export label today and it kicked my a$$ big time..I am absolutely LIT!

Anyway, I just found out today Uncle Sam is sending me to East Coast North Carolina in June of '06 with no more Japan, Korea. Singapore or UK tours to look forward to.. (which is the best news Ive received all year) so I will be there next time around for sure!...

Thanks again for sparing your time, home and energy for this...And be sure to take a lot of pics for all (who couldnt attend) to enjoy!! :)

Juan, You can put me down as tentative as I have some thing going on that will confirm the date later. Will have to break the journey in MD. How far is X5 factory from your place?

This is too bad you cannot be with us. Where will you be in East North Carolina next year? Wilmington area? this is a nice place. Yea their beers are pretty strong overthere in UK. I used to go there for my work pretty often when I was still living in France. One evening I was invited by some British friends for a pub party. I remember drinking 1 pint, 2 pints, 3 pints ... :beerchug: may be 4 pints and then....the only thing I remember is when I woke up :confused: in the hotel the next morning with the worst hangover I ever had. :hammer: . I love their beers though.

Baring something unforseen, I'm in. The better half is a question mark, but that isn't a factor in my being there.

I would love to attend, but I already have a prior engagement that weekend already!! You guys/gals will have a great time and definitely post the pics!!

Ok pencil me in. I plan to leave Boston/MA either very early on the 21st or if I get back in time from the west coast I might head up to NYC the afternoon of the 20th.

If there's an interest maybe we can even arrange a visit to the BMW factory the following Monday, use Sunday for a nice drive around NC/SC (I am sure Motordavid has some good suggestions :D ).
I could also try and see if the folks from StealthONE would give me a couple of their StealthONE to install them into X5's and have a little DIY ModFest ?

I am most likely going to stay in Charlotte Friday night and Saturday (the Westin), as Juan already suggested maybe we can also plan to get together for drinks etc in Charlotte (Sat/Sun) ?

Just a few ideas....

As things become more firm we can also plan the carvan route. Right now I am thinking along the lines Nashua/NH, Boston/MA, CT (New Haven/Greenwich), NYC, Philly/PA, Washington/DC) ???

I'd love to go! I can't, though... That is the weekend before my birthday, and I've got plans. :-( Make sure to take LOTS of pics, and post them!
