Well we can use this for everyone to figure out how much money they'll need for future Bimmerfest. :)

For Bimmerfest 2007: (I went by myself)
Gas: $310.00 (ave per gallon $3.73)
Got 25 mpg out of my m3
Food: $100.00
Total: ~$700.00 (don't have all the receipts)

Bimmerfest 2008: (I had two girls with me and paid for pretty much everything this year :))
Gas: $442.95 (avg per gallon $4.09)
Oh gas wasn't that bad the whole trip. It was around the $4.10 mark the whole time. The most expensive was on our way back up here when we stopped in Weed, CA which was at $4.26 per gallon.
I only got 21 mpg this year. Stupid baby turbo... the a4 was fully loaded and was running a/c pretty much the whole time. The car didn't do half bad keeping up with everyone. My trunk was stuff full too. :rofl
Total: $1,175.75 (look at pic for breakdown)
Add another $12 for painters tape. Forgot to put that in there.

So i spent ~$500 more this year then last year for this trip. Only $150 more for gas and i got worst gas mileage this year too. I also had two extra passengers with me.
Can't wait for Bimmerfest 2009! :buttrock

Everyone that went post up how much you spent. We can use this so everyone can get an idea to how much they will spend for future trips.


Here are the screen shots of what i spent my money on. I think i left some off the list but it's not that bad of a list.

$53.34 at Abercrombie... hmmm :D

ouch... i think its much more financially efficient to just buy a plane ticket and get a hotel down there or make some good friends in ca and get a rental...

I've been putting this off for over a week now. Had to really balance my fundings cause i haven't looked at it since before leaving. :D
So i went ahead and got all this done finally.

Oh i have no idea what kind of monster i ran into. :rofl He should of moved though.

Yeah but the driving is the fun part beside the partying and getting to know other people. :devillook

Just looked at the receipt again and forgot to include the $12 worth of painters tape i went through this year. :rofl

I don't have "exact" numbers.. Because, one, I don't really wanna know.. And two, I don't wanna figure it all out..

But its about:

$~400 - Gas
$~200 - Food and Alcohol
$~120 - Misc
$174 - Hotel
$350 - For replaced rear tire after I found a screw in the side wall. :shifty

Total:$~1,244 :(

Right now... about ~$800.... until david pays me. After he pays me it'll be around ~$785
