Honestly you would be the first one we hear about down there. Are you military or originally from spain?

Most of us are here in the Germany/Austria/Italy/Swiss areas. Welcome!!

Hopefully you'll start a trend! I wouldn't mind checking out a BMW meet in Spain.

You all might have the Ring up there, but we got some awesome tracks down here too!

Ive been tracking my track bike (08 CBR 600RR) since I got here...So far I've ridden Jerez, Estoril, Portimao, Monte Blanco, Valencia, and Aragon.

Now I'm gonna have to figure out how to get the BMW on them!

Hey man I jus saw your post in another thread an asked if you were stationed there. I will be there in 3 months. I'm n Korea right now but just ordered my 135i through the PCS there as well. You liking it so far? I'm pretty excited to get there an get my car. I was in a blk hole for almost 6 yrs at Minot AFB and was about to get out until I got that assignment and I figured that was worth sticking around for. We should deff meet up when I get there and do some shots of our cars together and fun drives. What color is yours

I got my 1er from Pentagon in Rota and had it out there for a couple of years before I PCS'ed stateside last summer. Awesome times - miss the roads out there and in Portugal! I looked into track days at Circuito de Jerez, but as you know it's mostly bike days over there. There was a company doing auto track days, I think, but not with your POV (they provide vehicles).

I was born there in '69. My father was stationed there at the time. I'd like to go back there one day and check it out. Enjoy the new ride, they are fun cars.

Yeah I have taken my track bike on Jerez plenty of times. Its a little bit of a drive but there is a pretty nice, very new track up north of Seville called Monte Blanco.... Its dirt cheap to ride there and I haven't looked but I'm willing to bet they host cars.

Would love to take the 1 out on a track before I leave here just to say I did...but i think the chances of getting it on a GP level track (Jerez or Estoril) are slim to none.

I'm stationed here at Rota as well. I just ordered my 135I convertable, and it should be here in 30 days. I got a 2012 1/2 lemans blue fully loaded m-pacakage. I've been here almost 3 1/2 yrs now, in the Air Force. We will have to get up and snap some pics of the cars when mine gets here. Do you go ride with Clint Waldorf?
