May I ask for you to be every so kind and allow me to borrow it for that week in May. I can give you collateral for the time being.

It'll take you at least another week just to program it for a dozen different states.

So then may I have it for two weeks? lol you can go that long behaving on the road, right?

San Jose, it says you end in San Jose, why?

Hell, if that's the case you could join in on our 200 car caravan, just be here & ready at 8AM Friday morning, May 1st. for the final leg of your trip. not to mention ours.

Geez Keith. Everyone knows the only reason anyone from the bay area goes to the 'fest is to be a part of the BayBimmerz caravan!

I think you need a few more trips under your belt before you even attempt to drive from New York to California if the farthest you've driven was to Pennsylvania.

Have a little confidence in the guy.

SolidJake, glad to hear you decided to make the drive. Wish you a safe journey.

my thoughts exactly. The way I see it... Cars are like condoms. ...They're not all that fun to have unless you use them.

Go Jake! We'll be looking for you on the caravan. Drive safe!

Have fun with the trip, man! Me and a couple buddies crammed in my E28 and drove from Milwaukee last year - this year will be our second trip out. Driving is not that bad, all though we do stop in Vegas for much needed drunknezzz.

^^^^ THESE guys know how to do Bimmerfest!! Remember that when you see the poseurs from LA with their Louis Vuitton interiors

And a Valentine One if you don't already have it! They pay for themselves within months!

DO IT MAN!!!! If you've got yourself a wing man the switch n sleep should work! Just don't push the limit. If you need a couple of hours more sleep, take it. Don't force yourselves to stay awake.

All you need now is CB radio and call yourself Bandit and play "East Bound and down" but sing along saying "West bound and Down"

that's pretty sick! If I could I would truck my car to New York and drive back with you. sounds like fun. see you here dude! Bimmerfest or Bust FTW!!!
P.S. tape up your bumper

solid jake i'm a neibor from PA well old neibor now living in missouri but i'll be out there and be good to see you out there my friend

wow sounds like a good trip. couple of years ago me and my brother drove to Washington dc through Pittsburgh pa and then south to savanah ga then back it was a great trip.

so u heading there 330ci it would be a great trip we already reserved our hotel for 3 days

I've circumnavigated the US from Baltimore to Cali and back a couple of times. The northern route is the most scenic, the southern route has more truck traffic. Indianapolis the first night, Des Moines the second, Cody (WY) the third, Auburn (CA) the fourth (but we stopped in Yellowstone for a few hours). If you've never been out west before, you'll be stunned....take the time to enjoy it.

Came back through Vegas, Santa Fe, Oklahoma City, Bristol (TN). Great way to see the USA. Drive safe, stay with/watch the truckers and you will be all right. See you in Carpinteria....
