There's some nice events coming up for late May and early June 2015 and they could be combined to a more than wonderful week:

Sat May 30 - Sharknose Meeting, Barneveld, center of Holland
Needs no introduction I guess giant gathering of Sharknoses and loads of parts for sale to name but a few

Sun May 31: ORC Canal Rally (Belgium, 2.5 hours from Sharknose venue)
Not sure yet but historically there are always abt 4-5 E21 rally cars seen in action
Oostrozebeke, Belgium, websites http://www.orc-rally.be ; http://www.firc.be

Tu Jun 2, We Jun 3: Modena Motorsport Trackdays Spa Circuit (Belgium, abt 2.5 hrs from the Sharknose venue, 2 hrs from ORC Rally site, 1 hr from the Ring)
Expect lots of vintage Ferrari, vintage F1 and Group C action, and some known drivers in a relaxed and open atmosphere as well

Th Jun 4 and or Fr Jun 5: drive to Dijon, possible stops at Reims-Geux (see image below) or Champaign area tour (France, abt 5 hours if you drive straight)
Alternatively: Touristenfahrten, Nurburgring Nordschleife (1 hr from Spa) Note: opening days for Touristenfahrten for this period not established yet. Keep checking the calendar for updates.

Fr Jun 5-Sun Jun 7: attend Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or at Dijon-Prenois ex F1 circuit (France, abt 5 hours from Spa or Nurburgring)
Lots of classic BMW action including CSL's, M1's, all easy to watch on the paddocks and great views around this track as well. Huge BMW celebration and many attending clubs in preparation as well, will keep you posted. A team of bmwe21.net will be present!
Alternatively you can attend the gathering of all the official European BMW Clubs the same weekend, taking place in Davos, Switzerland. See www.bcemeeting2015.com.
Sun Jun 7 or Mo Jun 8: drive back home (for example from Dijon to Calais is abt 5 hrs)

Oh and if the 1st week of June is already busy for you, you can plan your trip one week earlier. Do the Spa Classic on May 22-24, then a few days at the Ring perhaps, and the Sharknose Meeting the next weekend!

Sounds great!!! Would like to do the whole trip, J. But just the first event, is alright for me.

damnit I need to get my hands on a working e21.

Are there tourist drives on Sunday? I was planning similar things for the Sharknose meet trip, and on that weekend there's Grüne hölle rock, I'd guess a successor of Rock am ring? Haven't been to the event, but they seem to take the whole area. Anyway, it's likely you'll see some nordic attendance as well, at least on the Nürburgring.

Hmmmm the calendar for the tourist drives for that period is not on line yet so I didn't have info on that yet (see initial post) but if Grüne Hölle Rock (indeed the successor to Rock am Ring) is taking place that very weekend there surely won't be tourist drives on Sun and Mon. I'll try to come up with some alternative action for these days then! And if people are planning to do this entire week, it is likely the Nordschleife is open again later that week. And on May 31st there's a classic rally in Belgium and we're expecting to see several E21's in action there!
