The only thing you need to do before hitting the Ring is get the 1,200 mile service done. As a first timer, you'll be considered fast if you can complete a lap in 10 min. At that pace, you will not be stressing the M3 at all. I wouldn't worry about the car, start learning the corners now. If nothing else, read up on how to properly enter into Adenauer Forst. That is the one that bites the most people in the ass.

There is at least one other good photo outfit that I couldn't find. I got my picture simply by googling the ED license plate number in various combinations with the word "touristenfahrt". But the smart thing to do is contact the photographer beforehand - while they attend all public sessions they can make sure to be there and alert for your car at a certain time of the day, which will guarantee you get a few pics. In order to confirm the best photo sites, do a search or post a question on bimmerfest's ED forum (and post back here please any additional links you find).

OK, let's try this route:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...,1.352692&z=10 Are you getting NAV? Last time around I went with a Garmin that can do multiple-waypoint routing and saved all the "twisty" routes before leaving the US. Not sure if the OEM NAV can do waypoints and routes.

no, I wont have a Garmin, so I'm planning on using the NAV for that. I may ask them to see if I can "try" the google maps export function as a tryout and see if I can force it to go that route.

Not sure the car comms will work in Europe, I doubt they have an agreement with the European carriers. But you can try generating the routes online (there is a link somewhere on BMW's site) and save them onto a USB drive, then the car should allow you to load them up from the USB stick (via the glovebox USB port). I remember reading a few people have had trouble getting this to work, but perhaps the latest SW version fixes it.

Nah, I'm just spending way too much time on the forum... but it's true I'm an advocate for ED which, as you already know, is a tremendous and addictive experience. So at every opportunity I share all I know about it...
