No. There is no early entry this year. Regular entry is $20 per car if you park in the show. Only difference is a $10 walk-in fee if you park somewhere else and walk in. If you own a BMW, you should be parking at the show and split between 2-3 people in one car it is next to nothing :thumbup:
Excellent answers......thanks for the quick response. I hope this helps other bimmerfest attendees. As I live fairly close to the Rose bowl, I am looking forward to any pre-parties the night before.
This will be my first Bimmerfest and I got most of my questioned answered by the FAQ page, but I just have one more lol...
I will definitely be parking at the event. Will I get to park my car or does valet do it? I noticed one of the sponsors is Blue Star and based on what I know they are a valet service.
Not to sound like a prude but I'm very attached to my car (even though it's 12 years old) and I never let valet park it for me. lol
My mechanic friend Matt will park your car. And cord your tires.
edit: just to insert a disclaimer here - this is a skilled driver on a closed race course. The last guy who tried doing donuts at a Bimmerfest earned the universal scorn of everyone who saw it, both in person and later, on the web
I would imagine if Blue Star is working the event, their people are there to collect entry fees, direct traffic, and (hopefully) collect attendance statistics.

Hi, couldn't send Jon S. a message but have a question about setting up...
I'm a professional caricature artist and also a bmw enthusiast.
Samples: http://www.worangejuice.blogspot.com/
Would it be possible to set up a small stand to do caricatures of people and their cars, in front of my car?
Does the event allow this? would I need a vendor/business license?
all that is needed is 2 chairs/umbrella/ and a board to draw on.
Just curious and thought this may be fun for visitors alike.
Thanks,
Warren
Please message me back or respond to this thread. I have registered and am located in Hollywood.
Haven't heard any response to this yet. I'd plan to just setup by the car.drawings only take bout 5 minutes,they'd be black and white of course. Like $15 or $10 a pic+ a little more if any additional people in the pic. I just can't message Jon S. Or start any threads,thanks again guys
Since two of the major Rose Bowl parking lots will be used for the show, where can outside attendees park? I'm a non-BMW owner and want to attend the show, is there a specific place we can park at the Rose Bowl? If so, is there a fee? I'm aware of the $10 entrance fee, just wanted to know about the parking situation.
We're actually using a side part of one of the lots for non-BMWs. The cost is $20 per car or you can park in a surrounding lot and pay the $10 walk in fee.
Can you please clarify what you mean by "surrounding lot?" Are these lots on the Rose Bowl premises or will I need to look for parking in the surrounding neighborhoods? I'd like to come up and walk around but due to prior obligations I won't be able to stay more then 2-3 hours so I didn't want to park "in" the show--and finding helpful information about parking/entrance for non-show participants has been difficult at best.
There are a lot of other locations to park in the area, but I would suggest parking in the show lots (you'll be directed by parking service to the correct location to park). You can leave as needed and this way you won't have to walk all the way from an alternative parking location.
