Thanks guys. I'm going to have another in the family, incuding the four 318's already. They do seem to be contagious! As for Bimmerfest, of course we will be there, maybe with both of them.
I would also like to see lots of Ti.org'ers at the BMW CCA Oktoberfest 2013 being held in Monterey. It includes 4 chances to drive Laguna Seca, which is getting more and more difficult to do. There will also be Rallys, Tours, Concours, gymkana, autocrossing (2 days) and hosts of social events. It is being held the week following the Monterey MotorSports Reunion, so you could include vintage racing at Laguna Seca, the Pebble Beach Concours, the Legends of the Autobahn (4 German Marks) competing in a clean car contest, with sponsorship by Spaten beer.
The BMW CCA Ofest (link here:
http://bmwccaofest.org/schedule.phtml) will be open on March 1st. You will need to join the BMW CCA ($48) to attend the Ofest. Also on the bill is Dorkfest 2013, for all us fans of the BMW Hatchback being held on the last day of Ofest the 24th.
Hope to see many of you at one or both or all those events
Roger
