Following the cancellation of our 2020 Munich Tour in association with Scenic Car Tours, we now have dates for the rescheduled trip in 2021.
For current/existing tour members with a deposit already paid for the 2020 tour postponed due to COVID-19, SCT will automatically move the booking to this 2021 tour. SCT have agreed to honour the 2020 prices for 2021. SCT have absorbed cost increases by way of thanks for the BMWCCGB’s support through this time.

Wednesday 16 June (Day 4)
BMW Facilities to be toured and times to be confirmed 3 months prior to the tour. If total numbers on the tour are low, the price may need to increase to cover the cost of the BMW facilities.
Ulm to Regensburg, to start off with on the Autobahns and main roads, then onto more scenic routes as we get closer to Regensburg and BMW Plant Regensburg on the town outskirts.
The plant tour lasts for about 3 hours and leads through different production and outside areas. Plant Regensburg assembles the 1 series, 2 series Gran Tourer, 4 series convertible, M4 convertible, X1 and X2. In the past it was the birthplace of most E30’s, E36’s and E46’s.

Before making a booking, it is imperative members agree to:
- Deposits are strictly non-refundable, albeit the balance payment is not required until 10 weeks prior
- Members agreed to all of the detail in this document, taking special care/attention to the inclusions, parking set up at the hotel(s), and that different ferries are available but must be requested at the time of booking
- SCT terms and conditions of booking
Rooms in most German hotels will be traditional German double rooms, see example http://www.inselmuehle-muenchen.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89&Itemid=143&lang=en . This means that it will be one double bed base, and two single mattresses/duvets, so please make sure anyone sharing a room get along!
Parking may be payable onsite at some hotels.
Members can phone SCT for a reduced price should they wish to make their own ferry arrangements, or jump on an early morning P&O or Eurotunnel short sea crossing. Those who have come via Calais and are prepared for a long day, or have come on earlier and arranged own accommodation can join at E&R Classics. Alternatively head straight to the first ‘tour hotel’ in Rüdesheim. It is only 150 miles from Leuven to Calais, so southerly based members can choose this as an alternative route home.
