bmw325i 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 Hey guys, I have just moved to Germany and was wondering if anyone that is active in this forum is living in Germany as I am looking to know/meet as many people I can that have ties to Germany to build up a few more people to know over here. Get at me if you are! Jase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RvT 9 Report post Posted July 7, 2012 I too will be in Munich 18 till 23 Sept and be doing Oktoberfest as well as a work trade show. I have booked a factory tour at Welt for Friday 21. If any of you are in Munich, suggest booking a factory tour in advance rather than just visiting the museum. I did the 5 series factory last trip in Dingolfing which was AMAZING so looking forward to seeing the 3 series factory !!! This is the link and you need to book a few months in advance. The email doesn't work so just ring the number around 10pm NZ time Mon to Fri to book ... http://www.bmw-welt.com/web_rb/bmw-welt/en...ctory_tour.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw325i 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2012 Looks like everyone is in and out of germany in the next few months! I am based in Coburg now for the next few months but intend of going to the BMW plant in Munich next week with all going to plan. We should try and put all the dates of peoples visits down and create a NZ beer crawl through the pubs in munich after a visit to the BMW factory or similar. I'll be most likely moving up to Munich to live in a few months time with intensions to get into the BMW group for work and see what sort of careers they have on offer to keep me occupied while the mrs is studying and then return to NZ to keep running my business. I am still looking at other options for work here though to keep me out of boredom so if any of you have any contacts or leads for an kiwi speaking very little German then please get in touch! it would be much appreciated Jase [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers but we haven't made them for a few years as they went out of vogue. It has been in our family for 50 years and I have owned for past 20 + years. You can buy our food in nearly every town in NZ in case you need a reminder of the great stuff we make. We have contracts with most Multi national cafes ... just PM me for where to get it ...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
