Heading over to Munich to do ED!

E82tt6 · 04-03-2008, 12:53 PM

I'm bringing 12GBs of memory for my camera, so I'll be snapping LOTS of pictures of the Welt, as well as the car, and the entire trip.

I won't really have internet until next thursday, and that will be dial-up, so I'll post one or two pictures then, but it'll be the monday after that until I post the whole shebang.

Any specific requests for photos? I'll be leaving in an hour or two for the airport, so make it quick!

take pics of when they roll your car out!

have a great trip!

and make sure you convert your $ here at your local bank otherwise the airport places are gonna rip you a new one!

Crowley · 04-03-2008, 01:18 PM

Same here, when is your pick-up date?

Congrats to the OP! :roundel:

Robert · 04-03-2008, 02:06 PM

We will miss you. Take lots of pictures and document everything.

E82tt6 · 04-03-2008, 02:54 PM

Pictures, beer, etc, can do.

I already converted some dollars to euros. VERY painful!

There will be pics and video. There will be completely broken in halfway through the trip, so I'll have to see about that 150mph limiter... doing quite a bit of driving on autobahns in the middle of nowhere.

With any luck, I can avoid snow.

I'll give you guys the skinny on ED, and BMW Welt. I'm really looking forward to seeing the building, very cool arcitecture!

What is your itinerary? I'll be there April 11.

plien69 · 04-03-2008, 03:01 PM

Slightly OT, but I very rarely convert dollars to foreign currency. You take a big hit on the transaction fee and the retail exchange rate.

I always use an ATM. That way you get the interbank rate.

+1, visa and MC used to screw you but they got class actioned (I got $$). I plan on getting out a few hundred euro and using plastic for as much as possible.

I'll prob. keep the euros as an investment until obama takes office...

May 13th. Looks like I'll be there two weeks before you. If you haven't already, you should check out the ED calendar over at bimmerfest.com. Turns out that I'm picking up my car on the same day as another bimmerfest member from Colorado.

That's cool

I've already added myself to their calendar. There are a total of 5 people so far for that day :biggrin: I'm hoping I can meet up with some to take some pictures. There's another 135i being picked up the same day :smile:

Have fun, I hope you have good weather. When you come back, please make sure to post on the ED bimmerfest forum as well. :thumbup:

I was in Frankfurt a couple of years ago about this time and the white asparagus was in season. It was everywhere and delicious, especially with the hollandaise. Germany is a great place to visit.
