A media pass will give you entry to the Saturday event at Villa d'Este, which is a privilege in itself, because the event is by invitation only. The only way to shoot the cars without the crowds (guests, owners, relatives of owners, friends of BMW, you name it) is to come early, but then you'll have photographers running around.

It is a matter of patience, and if you want to shoot particular cars, you better speak with the owners and direct the cars to specific spots after the price giving ceremony. All cars pass the ramp, so no cars will leave early.

The sunday event at Villa Erbe is a better option, because that is for public viewing, and starts at ten. Be there two hours in advance and you have a pretty good chance to shoot cars with less people around.
