Germany: The BMW Experience
Vintage cars are my husband’s passion, and since he has a big birthday coming up, I’m on the look-out for unusual automotive adventures.
Enter: Paradizo, the luxury travel website, where I read about the “Ultimate BMW Driving Experience” offered by the BMW Museum in Munich.
Highlights of this three-hour private driving tour include the home plant (not usually open to visitors), a stop at BMW Classic with its invaluable collection of vehicles, and a visit to the flagship BMW showroom on Lenbachplatz.
The chauffered tour is offered on the first and third Sunday of each month until October and costs 90€ per person/seat. More details are available on the Paradizo website.
Since I’m still in the planning stages for this birthday bash, I’d love feedback from car guys/gals who have additional ideas for the celebration. Please post your comments below.

Thanks Bill and Kim. Those are good ideas and, since they are both in Germany, we could do them and the BMW thing.
Next question: how cold is it in Germany in mid-November?
Cheers,
Elizabeth
How about a quick flip round the Nurburgring? On example of a site:

Brilliant Birthday Idea in Munich!
For the racedriver in you, Chateau de La Barre in the Loire Valley has the perfect weekend suggestion, driving your dreamcar around the Maison Blanche race track in Le Mans, where the famous 24 Hours Le Mans races take place, and/or being picked up at the Château with a Ferrari 430 GT or a Lamborghini SuperGallardo or an Aston Martin and driving it over the picturesque country roads of Western France!
Elizabeth, Porsche for many years had a similar but perhaps more exhilarating offering that may appeal. Depends on what he might enjoy. And then of course what about his first love—Bugatti?

How about an African Classic Car Tour self-driving meticulously maintained Triumph and Volvo classics with technical backup? The next trips start in April 2014 with a round trip from Malawi to the South African Triumph Sports Car Club National Gathering, Other trips for next year include ‘Discover Malawi ’13′ and another round trip to the South African Volvo Owners Club ‘Saamtrek’ later in the year.
I just know what you are talking about. I love German engineering. But I prefer the Sports cars of Porsche, the M GMBH or the AMG ones. I found I site where you can have a nice trip in multiple German sports cars and discover the top spots in Germany. http://drivingtoursgermany.com/the-tours/
