The original product bulletin for the tour had a max of 10 M4 GTS participants due to supply limitations.

Mine will also be LBB and MT - but no smart phone connectivity.

There will only be a few of us on the initial trip, but we might see some twin cars.

I'm really excited about the trip. I'm sure the 1st and 2nd trip will be slightly different purely due to the numbers. It might be that they are both customized a for the size. For instance one might more indepth tours and the other perhaps a larger track. Who knows, but I bet both will be amazing.

so by few for initial trip do you mean less than 15 cars? or do you mean 15 cars for first trip and more cars for the 2nd trip?

15 on the first and the second group is larger. Don't know the exact mix of M2's vs M4 GTS. I'm sure with so little ordering options, there will be several "twins" on each!

Is the cost of the tour $5,900 per person or per car? I saw the note that says the price is based on double occupancy...does that mean I need to bring a guest and double the charge?

Twix · 01-18-2016, 06:56 PM

I'm in for trip 2 in June!

It's $5900 total, so $2950 per person if double occupancy.

Same here, got the call while I was at work, 1000 km from my home. I'll head in to get some info Thursday.

pokerface · 01-19-2016, 10:52 AM

I think in the previous tours the participation fee was much lower. Am I right to say that due to the success they're no longer subsidizing the majority of the cost.. or has the content of the tour changed?

keha423 · 01-19-2016, 11:35 AM

just an FYI... the M4 GTS forum has some more detailed info on the European Tour (likely info that everyone already knows... just in a fancy brochure format)

I also got word we're on 2nd tour. No details yet as to whether itinerary will be same. Will be seeing dealership this weekend to try obtain more info when we pick up our son's M228i 6MT. Hope to connect with those going on 2nd tour closer to date.

swifty · 01-27-2016, 11:05 AM

Were any of you able to get below MSRP on the M2 while doing this tour?

How long does it usually take for them to ship the car back to Canada after the tour?

I didn't get any discounts I know of. As I'll be leasing, I trust I'll at least get the .9% loyalty discount.

I'm still waiting for details on the 2nd (June) tour. BMW CA told me to expect something in early Feb.

Would be great to hear from others confirmed on the 2 tours.

BTW, there's another post in this forum (http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...highlight=tour) on this subject. I'm wondering whether someone can consolidate the two forums.

keha423 · 01-27-2016, 01:15 PM

Didn't bother negotiating on the M2 given the demand. Similar to others, just expecting the BMW FS loyalty discount on the rates.

Being able to get in on the trip is already worth it for me... Hoping the second trip will be the same as the first.

Ordered an X1 for the wife shortly afterwards, so pulled in some discounts there.

Twix · 01-28-2016, 06:33 PM

I was told by my dealer that payment for the second would be due Feb 1 as well. Hoping to get info, cuz I don't know who to make this cheque out to lol

So if we are leasing basically we'll be paying for the 4-6 wks while its in transit.
