Finally!!
Hi guys!
Firstly, wanted to introduce myself and show pics of my . I've been lurking around taking in all the great suggestions/advice people here have to give. Thank you! I just picked up my new baby through ED. For people who've never done this, IT IS A MUST! What an amazing experience! I don't know if this is just me, but I don't think photos do this car any justice. It looks so much more amazing in real life.. Now the anxious wait starts, they said anything from 6-8 weeks for me to get it . M3 Coupe - Space Grey Metallic/Fox Red |

I was literally only there for 2 days (work/family commitments). A piece of advice, try and stay as long as you can, to truly experience all that the surrounds has to offer. I spent 3 months there before, so I spent plenty of time doing the touristy stuff, but not while driving an M3 .. Also, give yourself a full day for the Welt experience. The factory and museum tour are complimentary for people picking up cars. And in between all that, you can relax in the Premium Lounge (again only for people picking up cars), plenty of complimentary food, drinks and internet facilities. I stayed at the Munich Marriott, very very nice for only 60euro and it was only 3 miles for Welt. |

Thanks Garek!! Unfortunately, not too far. I drove to towns called Garmisch and to Mittenwald. Amazing scenery (please don't ask for pics, me the idiot , forgot to take the camera) and fun driving the car around old streets. I only had 2 days there, picked up Friday at 6.50pm and had to drop car off at Hams by 2pm on Saturday.

Congrats on the car - I'm currently debating my colour combination.. did you always want FR or did you decide when you looked at the car whether or not you wanted Red/Black interior...

Thanks! I've always had black interiors and would've never even considered red, but I saw this combo at a dealer and I was sold.. |

That's a good deal. We stayed here: http://www.kempinski-vierjahreszeite...home/index.htm was ~ 250 EUR (worth it IMO, best service ever). Saw John Bolton at breakfast ...(former UN Ambassador).

But I can't imagine what you're having to deal with, hope you get your M back soon. I was all cranky this morning because the ship (Maersk Wave) that my car is on didn't leave on time. Quote:
I stayed at the Kempinski in 2006, total class! For what I paid at the Marriott, I thought it was going to be a dive, but was I pleasantly surprised. |
