Bimmerfest 2015 in NL

Hi,
Is any one else thinking of travelling to Bimmerfest on the 7th of June? I am planning to go and it might be cool to have our own UK section in the ///M paddock.
I just need to confirm my leave but I am confident that I will have the time to go.

Link for info on the event,

Re: channel train, lower or upper deck? The upper pretty dangerous to kerb your wheels...?

Going thru the tunnel is quicker, but my concerns is if you do get the upper deck you're likely to scuff your wheels.

Ferry is bit more generous as you just drive into like a car park.

Re: route, the cheapest fare. I dont think distance wise is any different.

The hotel proposed on the Bimmerfest site looks pretty good - Spaces still available!

We should determine a pick up route in the UK and cruise through down to the ferry/tunnel together, i'm located in the midlands!

Anyone have any experience of driving abroad?

Any special rules, regulations? Insurance?
