Default Chicago Meet and Cruise - April 2016

Hey guys -

Similar to last year around this time, I'm seeing who wants to meet at Burnham Harbor April 3rd but then take a cruise through downtown and up to The Glen Town Center.

I've started a poll over at Bimmerpost with more details here --> http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1232774

Should be fun!

Maybe not, the Shamrock Shuffle is that day. There will be a ton of closures that morning.

Not too bad:

Looks like only the course streets are closed and nothing south of Grant Park. If you live in the loop it will be tough but anyone on the edge will not have a problem getting around. LSD is open.

Hopefully it's not too bad. If I read the info right, it seems the event should be wrapped up (including closures) by 10:30am

If we stay on LSD we'll be ok. I've driven past the run without any problems.

Can you confirm this is still happening? I have it on my calendar to be there at 9a with a pair of bimmer buds and another trio of pcar buds.

Hey, definitely still happening. Looks like a good attendance based on my OP in Bimmerpost and instagram. If I had to guess, possibly >30 cars

What a bust. 20 minutes after start LEO breaks it up and starts ticketing. Typical BMW guys not following the rules and reserving the lot ahead of time.

Either way, I still had a good time for the little while everyone was there.

Who had the GT3 with the 4.0 motor build? Beautiful car and sounds great!
