Oktoberfest '06 happens in May

BMW 635

BMW Oktoberfest takes place this May, courtesy of the BMW Car Club GB.

Celebrating 20 years of the E30 M3, 30 years of the 6-Series and 40 years of the '02 Series, Brands Hatch will see a huge gathering of cars at the event, which takes place on the weekend of the 20-21 May 2006.

It's taking place during a round of the World Touring Car Championships and is supported by BMW UK.

The club assures us that more details of the event will be on the site (link below) soon. But if you're classic Beemer fan, you've got to be there...

Looks like I picked the wrong time to move to Germany!

May, may be just enough time to get the E21 polished and ready!

We will be going to this, BMW are bringing some cars over from the museum in Munich along with some of the UK cars. Look out for our seven silver 7's in convoy!!

Any idea what cars they are bringing from the museum?

I believe a Batmobile CSL, couple of the 2002 turbos from Munich, UK will have the CSL and 2002tii.
Obviously with BMW UK supporting the event there should be some tasty new stuff as well: M5 M6 et al.
Poss even a few celeb drivers!!

If anybody is interested I may be willing to part with my 2002 touring ti. Looks standard from the outside and fully restored a few years ago by Jaymic. 150bhp engine if modified heads, cam, twin solex (from original ti) and Jaymoc sports exhaust. Make me an offer if interested!

Will hopefully be going along ... not sure if I should take the M3 or the convertible.

Damn! I won't be able to make this!
I am in England the following week as I have a long weekend off.....

Got any photos? Probably out of my budget judging by your profile though

Ought to read the news ... it'll be the M3 obviously.
