Message: <blockquote data-quote="Casanova" data-source="post: 241256" data-attributes="member: 145">The thing about Bimmerfest here in California is we have a dealership hosting the event, as well as many many BMW vendors that make the event happen. If it's just going to be 100 BMW owners meeting in a random parking lot, it'll just be a very big meet and nothing else. Vendors make it worthwhile because you can see the products and talk to the people who created them to see what's best for our cars. Having a dealership as support is good because they will truly be supportive because we are their customers. They have the money for refreshments as well so we don't have to collect from attendees. Location is very important. Bimmerfest in California is ALWAYS full. So full that people park up to a mile away from the actual event location. If that many BMW owners actually plan on showing up, we need a HUGE location. Some public park to reserve, a dealership with a huge open lot or something. I just hope that whoever plans on running this event realises that they need a lot of corporate support because it's a large undertaking with a lot of money needing to be invested. I've been to Bimmerfest, once supporting a vendor using my car as the demo car, once as a car club participant and once just going there to see. So I've had a good perspective thru different views.</blockquote>
