Recommended Posts

This year the Northern California Bimmerfest Caravan is back and better than ever as the new Bavarian 500. Join us in our rally south Friday May 18th 2012, and enjoy cars, food, community, and over 500 miles of pure driving pleasure.

The Rally kicks off Friday May 18th at the Gilroy Lowes (7151 Camino Arroyo, Gilroy, CA 95020). Check in time is 7:30 and departure time is 8:30. Please be on time so that we can get everyone checked in. At check in we will be distributing vinyl window numbers for all entrants. The number you recieve will be noted with your registration so that you can retain the same number for next year. A food truck will also be there to serve up food before we kick off. Please bring a two way radio for the drive.

We will be traveling down south via the 101. The route is available by clicking the map on our homepage. We have arranged two pitstops: the first for gas and coffee and the second for lunch.

On Friday and Saturday night we will be staying at Pasadena/Monrovia Courtyard Marriott (700 West Huntington Drive · Monrovia, California 91016 USA). A group rate has been arranged and the rates will be $94 per night for a room with a King bed and $104 per night for a room with two Queen beds.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains.
