BMW's aftersales confrence is going to be held at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimee, FL April 9th-11th. I would imagine there will be an M5 or two showing up from one of the area dealers.

I know there is one in Miami, and i know Demon is somewhere in FL

yeah I am. Melbourne FL and I already saw an M5. A white one. Im a little bad of a hunter though cuz I left Melbourne to go to Daytona for the Rolex 24 hour race http://www.daytona24hr.com/ and well, since I left at 5a.m. to see the last six hours of the race, I forgot to take my cammera. 3 BMW's competed (M3's) and only one made it through the whole race.

I walked around and yeah I saw the white M5 parked around several Z4's and 6 serie's bmw's.

That thing is 1.20 hours away from me according to Mapquest. I got to the rolex race in less than one hour so I am sure I can do that again and go to this place. Ill be here in April.

What exaclty is it that's going on there someone care to explain? If I go there, what can I see?

Oh yeah, BTW I wont make the same mistake again.

you can see there that the first race (Where they will first run the new Audi A10 race car) is in Sebring Florida on the american Le Mans race March 18th. I'll be there for the race and both of the practice days prior to the Saturday March 18th race. That race is going to be my self-bday pesent cuz my birthday is March 13th lol. Great timing huh?

Not only will I take pics of the cars, but there is a "Spring Break" area where there will be a bikini contest.

It's baisically a confrence for service managers and such. I don't know much other than that, but while this is going on, i'm sure the parking lot is going to be full of Bimmers. The local dealers there will probably take their own cars, don't know about the others.

Gaylord?

Gaylord is a common name over here for resorts, but in the UK 'gaylord' is a elementary school playground insult. Hence, it raises a wry grin each time I hear the LM exec population are off to make up new buzzwords at an offsite meeting at the Texan Gaylord Resort...
