Driving down from NY to Jersey in a caravan with 50-100 cars was good and bad...

The Good- I was in heaven surrounded by beautiful Bimmers as far as the eye can see, everybody's car was extra clean and the sound of all the ///M engines screaming down the highway was intoxicating! We made multiple stops along the way and met up with other groups of cars as we took over and owned the roads!

The look on other drivers/passengers faces was priceless...as they putted along in their average everyday car, we blasted past them in our high hp machines...Passengers sat with their jaws wide open saying WTF as hundreds of Bimmers past them...we left them reaching for their phones snapping pics of our beautiful cars wishing they owned the ultimate driving machine!

Every stop we made, we were met by larger groups of cars adding to the takeover...other BMW's on the road we passed decided to join the caravan and push their car to the limit as we followed the speed limit of 55mph

The Bad- As far as driving in caravan, I'm always down for that...I will never throw anybody under the buss but whoever decided to take control and be the leader of our caravan...You need to do your homework and make sure you know where your going next time brother

Besides driving around in circles for 30 mins, I'm pretty sure nobody was happy about going over the GW Bridge 3 times! It's called a caravan for a reason...like I said before I had a lot of fun driving down as a group but when we got to our final stop where we met up with an additional 50+ cars, everybody decided to drive like maniacs and weave in and out of heavy traffic

You could barely see the lead car or whoever was behind you anymore...Regular cars were cutting into our lane of beautiful Bimmers creating an eye sore. Our caravan was breaking down and becoming groups of 3-5 cars scattered throughout the highway. Temperatures were reaching the high 90's, cops were pulling us over left and right, E36 M3's were overheating on the side of the road, E9x 328's couldn't keep up, it was chaos!

Finally 3 hours later we enter Bimmerfest to sit in traffic yet again, at least you were surrounded by beautiful bimmers... I had a great time once we got inside and met lots of great enthusiasts. I can't wait till next years Bimmerfest, hopefully we can have it at the same place again...those of you who weren't able to attend missed out on a great day!

not sure if this is the caravan that met at a few stops through ny before heading to bimmerfest. I met up with a caravan that pulled into the Thomas Edison service center. Was great when everyone got there...but people left at different times and nobody knew who was leading or when to leave. So it all got broken up. I rode with a couple guys I didnt know..two 335 and two 135...one of the 335 had the license plate "bye M3" and one of the 135 had the plate "sweet135". Cool guys to ride with and if they are on this forum, thanks for leading me to bimmerfest, since I didn't know where I was going xD. Also, damn you guys for blowing out so much power.

Overall fun weekend though!

i half expected him to snap that womans neck for doing what she did - but in her defense, he tried to sneak through and get into a parking spot before she could back out. his fault as much as hers if you ask me

Oh did he? I didn't get to see the chain of events up to it. Just heard people yelling stop, looked over, and saw the lady hit him. I took an extra 20 seconds to back out of my spot because of that accident, didn't want anything to happen to mine. A lot of people were moving in that lot.

Who ever organized the caravan after thomas edison plaza should be fired. at one point i was lead car too...lol.

I went to MPACT before a couple times and it was much better organized. No cars got lost and everybody followed each other on I-95.

But still a fun event nonetheless. Great cars, good people. It kind of sucked how they made some of us park in the gravel - I think they should hold the event in baltimore again.

what was the leading car after Thomas Edison plaza? i know there was a lot of traffic at the toll so some people got lost.

Also some people i guess missed the exit to the GSP plaza? and kept going down the parkway.

You didn't have to park in the gravel if you paid $5 more at the gate!
