2017 Spring Tour to Los Lunas Luna Mansion

Please RSVP to James Irick at editor@nmbmwcca for a head count for brunch at Luna Mansion.  You may also leave a message with Dan Jones, Tourmeister for the Spring 2017 Tour.

APRIL Spring Tour
WHEN: 9.30am on Sunday April 2nd for a 10.00am departure.
WHERE: Meet at Sandia BMW.

For the first time in Chapter history, a tour is designed for the EV (Electric Vehicle) community with i3 and i8 owners participating! And James, our email editor, will show that even the seasoned Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) owner can survive in a world of EV. He will be driving an i3 REX for this tour to prove that even a heavy footed BMW owner can embrace the idea of going green…at least for 120 miles or so.

We are following the pre-1936 alignment of Route 66 through Albuquerque into Los Lunas for a Brunch event at the Luna Mansion. This route allows enough distance for the EV group to come along for Brunch then return to their homes without charging. Those who have ICE  vehicles are encouraged to continue the Tour along NM-6 to I-40, then east to Rt. 66 Casino for the end of our tour. There will be at least two i8’s on this Tour, so now is your chance to be seen with the future of BMW!

Those of you with gasoline or diesel powered vehicles will not be left out completely. In homage to the fuel economy standards that all new cars must meet we will be having a competition for the vehicle owner who can get the greatest fuel economy above their published combined economy (via EPA combined estimates). This will be based on the fuel economy computer in your vehicle and will be reset at the start of the tour. The results will be tallied at Rt. 66 Casino…
The winner will have the privilege of taking a BMW i3 REX for a weekend tour courtesy of Sandia BMW!
