ClubBimmer.com attempts to break a World Record at 4ngiefest

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

We will be merging two events on the same day - 4ngiefest and Clubimmer’s Guinness World Record BMW drive. I hope everyone is available to come participate in something big!

To coincide with the launching of ClubBimmer.com we are embarking on a challenge that will be a world record breaking attempt! On March 29th, 2007 the Mini Owners Group in the UK broke the record for longest single marque automobile convoy on public roads. They had a 2 mile long convoy of Minis that consisted of 269 car. This number broke the world record. We plan to challenge this Guinness World Record with BMW automobiles. I’d like to get 300 plus BMWs in a single convoy and drive on a Georgia state highway for at least 10 miles in a virtually unbroken chain of cars. There are thousands of BMWs in the Southeast region of the US, this should be an easy feat. I’d like to have BMWs from around the world partake in this record breaking attempt. We can go in the history books! BMWs must prevail! We plan to meet at Gwinnett Arena in Gwinnett County, GA directly off Interstate 85.

We will meet at the Gwinnett Arena Chateau Elan starting at 9:00am on April 5th 2008. It will take about 1 hour to get everyone in groups, then first lead car out at 11:00am. Groups of 10-20 cars will depart one by one until we have confirmed approximately and at least 350 BMW automobiles have departed. With video recording as proof and evidence, we will drive in a single, almost unbroken line of 300+ BMW cars on 85 North to Road Atlanta That is about 35 miles drive. If we have 300+ BMWs in the drive we will break the world record!
