@Johndong888 and All, again, of course any ///M car is welcome, not just M5s. And again, if anybody volunteers to come up with rules, because I won't put any up ;-) Anything goes. Let's just have some fun. I am excited that more seem to join in now and will confirm a couple of details by the 21st the latest.

Dear All,
Here is an update on the headcount. The following ///M pilots have indicated to join: @chudak18, @jeshie7, BIG~BLUE~BMW, @KKS53, @acedaking, @akh23456, @Elaz, @cprx7, @Johndong888, @RingMeister01, @andrE92w. That means we are exaczly a dozen as of today. That's a fun athletic group. As mentioned earlier, with this lower number of participants, we will not have major setups organized in either Lambertville or Princeton. We will meet in Lambertville and can grab coffee at the nearby Station Inn or just gather and then start the cruise. Once we are in Princeton, we can gather on the rooftop of the garage (space guaranteed and a great opportunity to hear the variety of our exhaust systems on the way up ;-). I will make a reservation at Witherspoon Grill for lunch. I will see if I can organize a fun detail like a photographer so that you could have professional photos taken of your vehicle. Will most more throughout the week. If you know already that you will bring other ///M drivers, plesae let me know the additional headcount. Excited! (H) |

OK, here is the Monday update on the head count: @chudak18, @jeshie7, BIG~BLUE~BMW, @KKS53, @acedaking, @akh23456, @Elaz, @cprx7, @Johndong888, @RingMeister01, @andrE92w, @ajvee, @E90M3-SG, @SROC5, @nujabes24, Trip3's.
That's 17 cars already. Now the new goal is a quarter! Let's do it. Quick question: At what number of participants would you think I should consider asking for permits or permission (with town, PD or garage management?). I personally am more the type of guy to first just do it and then have fun with the results. What do you think?! Totally Psyched, (H) |

@chudak18, completely agree. Now since I don't own the garage (we certainly will own it that day), here is the letter that I sent to the parking superintendent of Princeton Township today:
Dear Mr. Moraski, I hope this email finds you well. I am member of a car enthusiast site (www.bimmerpost,com) and it is my turn to organize a local meeting on Saturday, September 28, 2013. The maximum number of participants/cars will be abut 20. We first thought of having lunch at Witherspoon Grill. I then had the idea how fantastic it would be (weather permitting) to do a small barbecue on the rooftop of spring street garage. As a local resident, I park there every Saturday to attend a church choir meeting and I know that between noon and 2pm, the rooftop of the garage is always completely empty. I would greatly appreciate if you would kindly grant us informal permission to host a small barbecue that day. I would hire a professional barbecue chef that would attend with licensed equipment for catering and I would be happy to pass on his information for your prior approval. Looking forward to your response. If you wish, I would be more than happy to meet you at your office to further discuss the matter. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration. Kind regards, (H) Last edited by (H); 09-19-2013 at 01:07 AM.. |

Looks like i got an E60 m5 (sumit), e39 m5 (Parth), and an e92 m3 (Sean) to tag along, and akash (Akh 123..) already expressed interest himself so that's my group... Although an additional f10 m5 is still in the works.

Awesomeness, @chudak18! No response so far on my post about getting a coding specialist out that day to join us for some neat individual code application. Still working on the photographer as well.
But even if all fails, at this point, I am just exited to finally see a good bunch of ///M drivers around town! (H) |

For Princeton consider visiting Triumph Brewery for lunch. It is 2 blocks from the garage and has an awesome lunch menu + beer brewed right in house. I believe $7 gets you a sampler of everything they brew which equates to about 2 normal size beers.
You'd have to call, but in the past I know they've set up free tours of the brewing area for groups like this. |

@Hoonigan, great idea (although some might question how beer and driving goes together ;-). I can definitely vouch for Triumph. However, you will see an update on this shortly ....
It's going to be very exciting. |

Important Updates - Barbecue, Route details, time, headcount and luxury watch raffle
Dear All,
Here is an important update with a lot of details about this Saturday, September 28: 1) Catering I am happy to report that I will sponsor a really nice BBQ catering at our destination in Princeton. Here is an excerpt from the menu that you will see:
2) Locations and Group Cruise/Race Route Not only did the Princeton municipality not allow for us to BBQ on the rooftop of their downtown garage. We will now also be too large a group to do anything downtown (we could still spontaneously decide to all drive through Palmer Square for ice cream afterwards ;-) That is why we have a slightly modified final destination with much more space and easier access. Starting point: Parking lot of the Lambertville Station, 11 Bridge St, Lambertville, NJ 08530 Meeting time: 10:30am, please note: no food or drinks provided at this meeting point Cruise start: 11:00am sharp as afterwards the parking lot will start charging a very high fee Cruise Time: Approximately 30-35 minutes (or as quick as 20 minutes ;-) Destination: Parking lot of 103 Carnegie Center, Princeton, NJ (right off of Alexander Rd. at Rt. 1) Start catering: 12:00 noon at Destination End time: 02:00pm Here is a link (http://goo.gl/maps/dXnlv) as well as a quick map of the route. I will give a quick debriefing about the route at the starting point because I suggest that for nicer roads and better scenic drive, we take a slight detour from the signs that you will see. We are following Rt. 32 all the way Mt. Eyre Rd. Before we enter onto I-95, I suggest that we quickly do a flying regroup so that we could head onto the Interstate as one close group of cars. Depending on total car count, we can either stop and consolidate at the parking lot on corner of Taylorsville Rd. and Mt. Eyre rd. or if less cars, simply line up on the long shoulder stretch that leads on exit 51A to I-95. That way, we would be lined up like pearls to all hit I-95 together. The changed course to our final destination now also gives us some nice parallel time heading North on Rt. 1. 3) Head count Here is the updated list of confirmed participants from our fora. If you see yourself here and you know that you won’t make it, please let me know: 1. Acedaking 2. ajvee 3. akh23456 4. andrE92w 5. AWM3ME2 6. BIG~BLUE~BMW 7. chudak18 8. cprx7 9. E90M3-SG 10. Elaz 11. FLOSS M 12. (H) 13. Hoonigan 14. jeshie7 15. Johndong888 16. KKS53 17. L4ces 18. NPM3 19. nujabes24 20. RingMeister01 21. SROC5 22. Trip3's 23. chich Now, here is the amazing news: I ran into fellow ///M enthusiast Roxanna at BMW of Princeton today and she confirmed that she will have her entire gang (25+ ///M cars, mostly from PA) join. That means that if things go well, we will be about 50 cars total. Since we have to calculate supplies for the catering, please make sure to post or PM me your confirmed participation no later than Thursday, September 26. 4) Watch Raffle Now if you were diligent to read through all of this up to here, this is the reward. Maurice Lacroix (www.mauricelacroix.com) will sponsor a watch sample raffle. At the final destination, each participant will have the chance to answer three questions. The three participants that answer most correctly (the questions will be quantitative), will receive a Maurice Lacroix watch from their Miros sample collection, each valued at an MSRP between $1,200 and $1,500, see pictures below. If there are more than three correct sets of answers, the watches will be raffled off amidst these answers. 5) Add-Ons I am still working on the coding service. I expect that to be available at a charge but cannot yet guarantee that it will happen. I am also still working on a photographer, again probably at a charge of individual professional pictures of your car are concerned. However, most photographers that I have contacted so far, have said that the bright and hard midday light is not ideal for car photography. Even if these two services don’t fall into place, I think we will have a fun event. And last but not least: Weather is forecasted to be superb: Sunny at 72°! |

50+ cars! Woot. Impressive....... Don't forget the three or four additional M cars that are coming with me... Also may be a good idea for as many people as possible to bring walkie talkies along so we can manage this group in real time. It will make things a ton easier while in transport or parking.

I've never looked forward to a local meet as much as this, thank you for putting it together.
Do you need a hand with food? If the plan is to grill/BBQ I'd be happy to bring some marinated Korean beef or pesto chicken that can be easily tossed on. |
