2005 Badger Bimmer Elections
No hanging Chads, No
Recounts, a Great Year
Ahead...
A
s many expected, Jeff Joy and David Schnitzer were
re-elected to their respective positions of President and
Treasurer. There were no “write in” candidates and
the Club affairs are in Jeff and David’s hands for another two
years.
The two Board member positions were hotly contested by
Clarence Behrend, Todd Ciske and John Lofgren. In the final
count, only six votes separated the top and bottom candidates. In the end, it turned out both incumbents, John and
Todd, will continue to serve as Board members for another
two years.
Remember: In 12 months we will be having another election
for Vice President and Secretary along with two other Board
positions. NOW is the best time to think about your own
involvement. Attend an event or two. Attend a Board meeting and discover what goes on behind the scenes. Consider
getting involved with an event, either in planning or implementation. Consider recommending a new event or activity.
You may be surprised at how easy it is to become a vital part
of the Badger Bimmers and enjoy the friendships along with
the cars. You will always be welcome!

n June 2004, a dozen Badger Bimmers linked up with CGI
Motorsports and spent a Monday at Gingerman Raceway
in South Haven, Michigan. It was a very enjoyable event
at a very safe and yet demanding road course. Gingerman is
about two miles in length, with elevation changes, complex
cornering and a lot of run off areas throughout the course.
An added feature is that South Haven is a lakeshore community much like Door County with a great beach-front, shops,
restaurants and other amenities for the rest of the family if
you choose to make it a longer weekend outing.

Happy Motoring!!!
Travel by High-speed Ferry
bi
Again this year, we are looking into making use of the highspeed ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon. Cost of the ferry
is $50 per person and $59 for a car, one-way. A round-trip
totals $85/person and $118/car BUT, with the late departure
time from Michigan, you may want to drive and be home a
few hours earlier. More complete information and directions
are available at: www.lake-express.com.
So, if you like to drive, want to experience another track
beyond Blackhawk Farms or Road America, you may want to
mark down this date at Gingerman Raceway with the Badger
Bimmers: July 18th. For more information on CGI, go to www.
cgimotorsports.com. For more information on Gingerman
go to www.gingermanraceway.com. Since CGI holds registrations for our group before others can sign up, please

BMW Adventures
BMW Driver Training
Adventure Trips
Munich
T
he real experience is the process of getting there: In
BMW Adventure Trainings and Adventure Trips, the actual training experience is enriched by another essential
factor: These events combine exclusivity with individual style,
a team experience with a club ambience, the thrill of travelling with mastery in controlling one’s car, and, not least, the
joy of discovery with the experience of learning anew. Highly
interesting training sessions are being offered in 2005:
• BMW Winter Training in Austria and Scandinavia
• BMW Z4 Roadster Adventure Trips
• BMW X5 Adventure Trips
• BMW M3 Nürburgring Nordschelife Circuit Training and
the BMW M5 Nürburgring “Taxi” Experience
offers lots of wonderful opportunities for a short vacation.
BMW Z4 Roadster Adventure Trips: Driving “Topless”
through the Most Beautiful Parts of Europe.
In spring and summer, when the weather is just right for
lowering the roof, the time is also right — if not to say, ideal
— for BMW Z4 Roadster Adventure Trips through the most
attractive countryside in Europe. Just two of the many destinations, by way of example, are the Tuscany Region in Italy or
the Ticino Canton in Switzerland. Cruising in their Z4s, participants spend four wonderful days enjoying serpentine roads
in the Italian part of Switzerland, in the Engadin Region, and
in Italy itself. Experienced instructors very well acquainted
with the location make sure that every bend is nothing but
blissful pleasure on these glacier roads and mountain passes
with their breathtaking panorama. And it almost goes without
saying that these Z4 Adventure Trips come with an attractive
accompanying programme organised to make all participants
feel really at home: Specialities from the local cuisine pamper
the Z4 drivers after their excursions through the unique countryside, to cultural and historic sights.
BMW Winter Training: Elegant Pirouettes on
Snow and Ice
BMW X5 Adventure Trips: A Far-Out Experience for
Man and Machine.
BMW’s Winter
Driver Training
Sessions on snow
and ice start
each year in early
December. The
training locations
are in Sölden,
Austria and in Åre,
Sweden. All of these
training sessions have one asset in common: They offer a
unique combination of successful learning in mastering your
car on snow and ice with truly outstanding fun and a great
experience.
The Adventure Trip
in the BMW X5
through Namibia
south of the equator
is certainly a unique
way to combine
that Sheer Driving
Pleasure so typical
of BMW with a truly
unusual vacation:
This nine-day offroad adventure takes participants to one of
the most beautiful and wildest regions in the world. Covering
a distance of approximately 1,200 km or 750 miles, participants will
experience
numerous
challenges
for man and
machine.
Downhill
gradients of
up to 11%,
gravel, sand,
rocky tracks
and a lagoon only accessible during low tide — these are
The Winter Training Sessions in Sölden last two days.
Participants drive a BMW 330i and other models in large,
generously dimensioned training areas either in the valley
or at the bottom of the Rettenbach and Tiefenbach Glaciers,
as well as on cordoned-off sections of the mountain road
between Sölden and the glacier area.
In Åre, in the heart of Sweden’s largest Alpine skiing area, a
large and again generously dimensioned ice surface on the
lake directly in front of the hotel is reserved as the “dancing
floor” for the BMW M3s with their studded tyres. Over and
above the Training Sessions culminating in a truly unforgettable ice rally, the beautiful countryside on the Polar Circle

the challenges you have to brave. On this exclusive safari,
participants also learn how to navigate with an offroad GPS
system and the roadbook, they practice the exact handling
of their car in the dry moonscapes and mountainous sand
dunes of the Namib Desert.
The social programme on this unique trip leaves nothing
to be desired: Participants are led by highly experienced,
English- or German-speaking guides through the unique
countryside in Namibia, experiencing both a wide variety of
animals and species and a consistent change of nature. The
carefully selected, highly individual routes and overnight
accommodations combine luxury with stylish simplicity typical of the country.
The Nürburgring Nordschleife: Ideal for M3 Circuit
Training and the M5 Nürburgring “Taxi”
The aficionado of high-speed driving will be simply thrilled
by a unique racetrack experience on the labyrinth of the
“Green Hell,” as the Nordschleife is called. This is where
participants experience the BMW 330i and M3 precisely
where they are fine-tuned by BMW’s engineers and suspension specialists in the development process. Apart from
the theory of driving dynamics, the programme comprises
Section Training making participants aware of the particular
challenges of this demanding track. The highlight of this
two-day course is the completion of several guided laps
round the track almost 21 km or 13 miles in length, following a pace car setting the right standard. In the process the
instructors ensure absolute safety: The focus is on safe driving on the ideal line, not on the fastest lap times, which are
not measured, anyway.
A Truly Unique “Taxi”: Experiencing Nürburgring in
the BMW M5
The enthusiast wishing to experience what the 507 bhp
of a BMW M5 have to offer on the Northern Circuit of
Nürburgring will simply love taking his — or her — seat
in what must be the world’s fastest “taxi”: The team of
Nürburgring “taxi drivers” even comprises the likes of racing
icon Hans-Joachim Stuck, the man who drove the race-winning BMW M3 GTR at Nürburgring on 13 June 2004. From
April to November the BMW “Taxi Driver Team” will be
supplemented by other experienced BMW Driver Training
Instructors such as Claudia Hürtgen, the winner of the 2003
German Touring Cup, or Sabine Schmitz.

Letter to the Editor
I
Neither Badger Bimmers nor any other Chapter receives monies from BMW CCA to pay for a monthly newsletter. We get
reimbursed for some expenses though. Here’s what we do get:
Sincerely,
Robert Littmann
2. Reimbursement from National for printing costs (up to
$110.00 per issue) associated with printing your chapter
newsletter for mailing to other chapters, the National
Office, the National Board and National Service Officers.
The Editor replies... [Reprinted from e-mail to Mr. Littmann]
Hope this helps. Sincerely,
would like to know why I didn’t receive my Bimmer Immer
issue for January 2005 and of today’s date the February
issue? Is this newsletter published monthly or just when
the editor decides to publish it? Don’t the Badger Bimmers
receive monies from the BMW CCA to pay for a monthly
newsletter? I would like to get an answer from you on this
matter before I would contact the BMW CCA to get their
position on this. Thank you for your cooperation.
Robert:
Thanks for your concern, and certainly thanks for caring
enough to write to the Editor. Most people just write to
advertise and such...
1. Reimbursement from National for postage costs incurred
in sending our chapter newsletters to other chapters, the
National Office, the National Board and National Service
Officers.
Mustafa Emir
Editor, Bimmer Immer
The reason you have not received your Immer for January
is that there was not one. We are currently working on the
February issue and hope that it will come out soon. By that, I
mean the next 7 to 10 days. I am hoping that real life will not
interfere too badly with this prediction: for example, if my associate editor gets a rush assignment at work or my son gets an
ear infection, it’ll be too bad for the Immer for another week.
Your second question is a little more tricky to answer; though
we do indicate a month and year on the cover of the Immer, this
is only a ruse to mislead you, the reader, into thinking that you
are holding a professionally edited and produced document. Of
course nothing could be farther from the truth. Our seasoned
readers know that the Immer is always unpredictable yet
seldom fails to inform its readers of the fun things they can be
doing with their cars instead of, say, reading it... (By the way, I
just made a clever pun, but you have to speak German to get it!)
Anyway, no, the Immer is not a monthly publication and, no,
it is not published when the Editor (i.e., me) decides to publish it. The reality is quite a bit more complicated: we try to
get an Immer out every four to six weeks, and we do so as
soon as our lives allow a few uninterrupted hours to work on
articles, layout, pictures, etc.
Appears as though we’ve done a good enough job to get you
hooked on this rag and now we’re dealing with your withdrawal symptoms.... Well, we’ll continue to do our best to
keep ‘em coming your way, whenever we can.
But seriously, the newsletter is published about 10 times a
year, more frequently in the summer than the winter. By the
way, CCA recommends (dare I say “requires”) that some
form of communication (I think they mean the written kind)
occur every 2 months. By and large we meet that — we
ain’t Boston, but we try.

Holiday Party 2005
“J
ohn, I would like to have a little information on the annual
dinner, maybe get an article
together. How about answering
some questions?
“1. How would you rate the venue?”
The venue was great. People
seemed to enjoy the Museum
itself, there was plenty of room for
all of the tables, and people still
had room to move around. The
Museum staff was just incredible. They know how to
handle large parties and
any unforeseen things
that pop up. We needed
another table for door
prizes and they were
able to find one and get
it setup in about 10 minutes with no complaints.
The audio visual equipment was there on time,
it was set up properly,
and it worked the way it
was supposed to. They
were very friendly and
accommodating. I just
can’t say enough about
how well that part of the
organization went.
The room itself was really nice, too. The holiday
theme with the white
trees and white lights
was very comforting and
relaxing and definitely
warmed up what could
have been a very bland
room. The tables of
eight were small enough to still allow some good dinner conversation. Service was prompt and professional. The dessert table was a nice touch and seemed to be quite popular.
“2. How many people attended?”
It was somewhere around 112. Last year was about 120. We
limited the number of entries this year based on the maximum
Page 8
room capacity given by the
Museum people.
It was pretty much
a capacity crowd,
though we found
out later that the
Museum people
allowed for a few
contingency spots
that they didn’t
publicize.
“3. How was the
food?”
The food was very
good. Everybody seemed to like
it no matter which of the menu
selections they had.
“4. Speaker?”
Burt [B.S.Levy] was great.
People from the Club who
already knew him, of course,
liked him. But, I think that even
non-motorheads liked the pre-
sentation. He has a way of being kind of
an Everyman even though the subject is
racing cars. We were talking to the guy
from the Museum who set up the AV equipment after the dinner. He said that he’s not a car person but he found the presentation very interesting and entertaining. That’s probably
the best account of Burt’s presence and style.
Photos by Jenny Morgan
www.badgerbimmers.org
“5. Entertainment?”
The Museum was the entertainment. For those who wanted
more there was a great tape of in-car camera stuff running
behind Burt at his table.
“6. The raffle?”
The raffle was really something.
The big prizes were the Z4 pedal car from Knauz, the O’Fast
entry donated by Badger Bimmers, the autographed 10th
anniversary Last Open Road book from Burt Levy, and the two
one-hour massages donated by The Body Awareness Center
and Studio D’Angeli. We also got a ton of cool stuff from Tire
Rack, Concours, International, Bob Clark, and a host of others. The list below is everybody I have on the database.
double check? I don’t want to forget anybody. The door
prizes were numerous and high quality. It was quite a sight.
“9. In your opinion, what was the highlight of the evening?”
The best part for me was having people say how much they
enjoyed the event and thanking Sarah for the organizational
work. I was also happy to see that people liked the door
prizes. The two massages, which we added to appeal to the
long suffering spouses, were a big hit. They were arguably
bi
the most popular items along with the pedal car.
