Goin' to F1 Montreal need B&B and iNav Guidance

ase2dais · 03-17-2010, 03:22 PM

Hello folks

I been delaying this post, but I like to ask if any of you have any recommendation for a inexpensive B&B around St Denis area or any similiar
place where I can experience the Montreal Action during the F1 races and Montreal days..

Btw.Kinda lame question
. will my US spec e92 M3 Navigation be useful in Canada/Montreal.. We'll be coming up via Upstate NY Buffalo.

thnks in advance

Jaypod · 03-17-2010, 03:57 PM

I will let the Montreal locals give you the best advice on where to stay. Montreal is an awesome place to hangout and part!
As for your navigation - should be no problem at all. Should have North American maps - use in the US without a problem.

Have fun, plan on being at the F1 as well. (actually there is a decent size group of us)

Good luck finding an inexpensive B&B in the St-Denis Street area. If you want to party downtown I would suggest that you try to find a B&B/Hotel/Motel further North on the axis of the orange line of the subway. The orange line runs mostly along the St-Denis and St-Laurent streets. This should allow you to use the subway to go downtown and not have to worry about parking.

As for your Navigation my E90 has North American maps and I had no problems driving from Montreal to Tampa. I don't see why a US-spec M3 would not also have North American maps.

Enjoy your stay in Montrea and don't forget that Canada is metric. Speed limit of 100 is 100kph or 62.5mph. Also, a lot of streets now have a 40kph (25mph) speed limit and the cops are very busy ticketing people instead of catching true criminals.

....and be careful where you park. I once park at a parking lot RIGHT beside the police station and when I went to pick up my car in the morning there were two cars in the lot that got broken into. Luckily I was driving a minivan

ase2dais · 03-18-2010, 02:06 PM

OMG!!! I better bring a humvee lol

but thanks for the warm fussies mate!

Im just wondering if the nav voice suddenly turns into a french speaking lady in my car speaker.

and I was really looking for more definitive B&B breakfast you guys can recommend
or maybe BB places to get better chance to get some personal physical action hhhe

Right until you would hit a pothole at 100mph.

ase2dais · 03-25-2010, 09:21 PM

Heard we now have to have our US Passports for Canada Entry

Can Someone Please Verify.. We're driving from Upstate NY

AMOCHOSTO · 03-25-2010, 09:56 PM

Yup, US and Canadain citizens need passports now, Security increase as a result of the war on terror.

I wont be watching the actual F1 race but i am in for a meet if anyone's interested

Tonybest · 04-10-2010, 04:08 PM

Yup a meet on the Thursday... would be great

ase2dais · 04-10-2010, 06:08 PM

my friend (NY)and I (DC) are both driving our cars
but wont be there till Friday

Tonybest · 04-10-2010, 06:14 PM

Having a meet on the 3 days of the GP is difficult at best since most spectators are there all day long. Photoshoot with our cars will be hard those days.
