Current status of pics aside, thanks for getting the overhead shot of me going out. The car really looks great in that light/angle.

This is really great; the write up, photos & the advice will be very useful for planing an ED.

Thanks for the report! Love the "warp speed" picture. My car is being re-delivered today in about 7 hours!

Anyone let me know if you need any tips or advice for planning. I couldn't write about everything, just a good summary.

Picasso:

I was anxious to see your write-up and photos, and you definitely did not disapoint. Thanks for all of the fantastic pictures, they show off the car and the bounty of the beautiful Motherland so well.

For me it was a first and perhaps only chance to visit my family, see where my Grandparents were born and raised, and drive some of the best roads in the world in what I consider to be one of the best cars in the world. The experience with the M3 was much different from the previous e92 here in the States, the car truly feels at home there and the delivery experience at the Welt was First-Class and unforgettable.

Also, thanks to fellow forum member David Aviles from eurocarsonline, this thread and this forum, I probably would've never pulled the trigger.

Here is a shot from the night before Christmas when no one was stirring-not even a mouse... I always peeked at my presents.

Picasso's car winking up front and mine deep in the back.

Ehh, it'll wipe right off during re-delivery at the Perfomance Center in Spartanburg.

I've got a couple questions, but need to go to work now...get back to ya soon. Cheers!

positiveions · 07-13-2010, 09:30 AM

picasso man and OC//M glad you guys had fun and thanks for sharing photos. Hopefully, when I settle in my new job by next summer, I want to do the trip.
I am anxious. The more photos I see, the more I become ecstatic.
congrats to both of you.

Did they put the front plate on with double stick tape? Also, what is the deal on keeping your Euro plates as a souvenir?

Yes they are on by tape. I didn't remove them, the drop off place said they would leave a note to keep them in the car as a souvenir for me. I hope they are in the trunk on arrival. Rather them remove it than me F something up.
