Accomodations: Three overnight stays in a single-occupancy room at the Nurburgring Dorint Hotel, including all meals and soft drinks.

I thought the event in September was free (airfare not included). I have a feeling this October event is a different deal.

BMW M shld make this event standard when we buy our M3s(airfares inclusive). Those who opt out of it should be entitled to a $5,500 discount off the M3 selling price

How do you get that? You only have to pay for the airfare, and it's not $4500.

Do you get to put one (M3) in your suitcase and bring it home with you?

Robert · 06-06-2007, 01:11 AM

Nah I rather save the money towards the car. I can drive it on the ring as many times as I want later.
