11/29 Performance Center Delivery {e90 Space Gray ZCP}

mpardun · 11-29-2010, 08:22 PM

WOW!

What else is there to say...what a day! A BIG shout out to the PC staff that made the trip from Denver very, very much worth while. I enjoyed meeting up with fellow M3post member Marshall and his Dad (maiken21) And above all else - a special thanks to the staff and instructors and the 1:1 attention and sole focus on making this a day to remember: Ray, Donnie and Andy!

The Car:

2011.5 e90 M3
Space Gray
1/2 Fox Red & 1/2 Black (a la Matte Gray "special" edition)
6MT
ZCV
ZCW
ZP2
EP Sound

The Pics:
Could NOT sleep

Track Car started, warmed up and ready to go

Track Car idle while we get breifed

Off Road Course River section

Off Road Severe Angle $hit (this tests your judgement and proved what a serious off-road vehicle the x5 is

Driver Fuel (100% complimentary food and drink all day!)

Another Oppty for BMW to take my money

BMW Museum & Factor Tour (where all x3,5,6's are made...2M square feet...this is just the public entrance - what an operation)

FINALLY...My baby is delivered

Crappy Interior iPhone pic

Mike & Instructor Donnie Isley

Now to load my new baby on a covered transport tonight...see you in a few days.

BMW sure knows how to keep an enthusiast happy!

Car looks great, congrats!

saeedg48 · 11-29-2010, 08:29 PM

WOW nice that X5 looks like it's going to flop over

amazing what these cars will do...

just when you think it can't get any crazier - and it does.

cipher5 · 11-29-2010, 08:41 PM

Enjoy the car, good choice on the color!

GOLFFRR · 11-29-2010, 08:47 PM

Awesome congrats again! so glad it all worked out. Post some more pics! PC FTW. Car looks great.

classic6 · 11-29-2010, 08:50 PM

Congrats on the new car!

Donnie is the man! We stopped at the performance center while driving through South Carolina and he gave us a tour and took us out on the off road course in an X5 and the skid pad in an M5. Great guy.

Everything went smoothly - except the weather.

Dammit Jimmy, get with it.

GOLFFRR · 11-29-2010, 09:16 PM

^^^haha i knew Ryan and I missed something! shoot

J BONE · 11-29-2010, 09:19 PM

Nice! Congrats on the car! First Fox Red/Black/Black pics I have seen, looks good!

Park2670 · 11-29-2010, 09:22 PM

Did the performance center schedule the shipping back home or did you do that?

They will to your dealer (that you purchased it from (for a fee))

PC "counts" as your delivery destination...

BUT - you can do Euro Delivery and PC on BMW (for "free")...in fact a couple did that with a 335i today. They made a nice vacation out of the $4k saved via EU delivery (if you are not in a hurry).

SlamMan · 11-29-2010, 10:13 PM

What end of town are you on? I rarely see any late model M3s in the Arvada, Westminster area. My M Sedan is the only E90 I've seen in these parts since I've been paying attention.

mpardun · 11-29-2010, 10:22 PM

Hilltop (near Cherry Creek Mall), work in Lowry.

SlamMan · 11-29-2010, 10:59 PM

You probably see a few M3s around there.

mpardun · 11-29-2010, 11:16 PM

see relatively few e9x's, esp. e90's.

I am really pleased with the choice...coming from a 335i - it really is a different beast.

mpardun · 11-29-2010, 11:21 PM

By the way - of the 2 M3's delivered today: I got the Conti's, Marshall got Pirelli P-Zero's (e92).

e92_m3 · 11-29-2010, 11:33 PM

That's my next dream car!

An SG e90 M3 with ZCP!

Very nice purchase man. Piloti shoes FTW.

**Jameson@Alpine** · 11-29-2010, 11:45 PM

that off road course is real sweet!

davem3fan · 11-30-2010, 12:34 AM

Congratulations!
Nice choice... Just about identical to my new one.

Looks like you had a great time with Donnie and the gang.

Brandon26pdx · 11-30-2010, 01:13 AM

Liking the looks of that ZCP sedan.
