Finally got an email from Performance Center today
Dear Mr. asedais,
We are excited you have chosen to take delivery of your new vehicle at the BMW Performance Center. Your delivery experience will be unlike any other in the automotive industry.
Your Performance Center Delivery for production number "blahblah" is scheduled for 7/14/2008. You will stay the evening prior to your delivery at the Greenville Marriott as our guest.
Please do not make any travel arrangements until three weeks prior to your delivery date. Due to production schedules, weather, or other unforeseeable circumstances, your delivery date may need to be changed prior to that three week window. In the unlikely event we are notified of a delay for your vehicle, we will contact you immediately to arrange a new date.
A tour of the BMW Manufacturing facility is part of the delivery program. However, BMW Manufacturing occasionally closes to visitors and tours when sensitive operations are taking place. Should this occur on the day of your delivery, you will still have the opportunity to visit the BMW Zentrum museum and experience a virtual tour of the BMW plant. Once public tours resume, you are welcome to tour the facility as our guest if you re-visit the area.
Please note the following information:
· You and one guest are entitled to participate in the delivery program.
· Participants must present a valid driver’s license (participants 15 to 17 years of age must be accompanied by a legal guardian).
o If you are bringing a child under the age of 12, please note that you or your guest will be required to accompany them in our café and will not be able to participate in any driving activity or the BMW factory tour.
· Dress code is casual and comfortable. Completely enclosed shoes (no high heels, sandals, or clogs) are required for the factory tour.
· We provide hotel accommodations for the night prior to your delivery date at the Greenville Marriott (including meals for dinner and breakfast).
o Although all gratuities are given at your discretion, it is customary to tip your bellmen and drivers for services received from the hotel. The BMW Performance Center staff does not accept tips.
· Childcare services are not available through us or the hotel.
· If you do not plan to arrive the night prior to your delivery, please refer to the Helpful Reminders sheet for directions to our facility. We start promptly at 8am, so be sure to arrive before then.
· Your day will conclude around 3 p.m.
· Although laws vary from state-to-state, South Carolina requires all vehicles driven in-state to be registered and insured. Therefore we highly recommend that you bring the bill-of-sale as well as proof of insurance for your new vehicle.
· A helpful reminders sheet is attached which gives you instructions on how to contact the Marriott for transportation to the hotel once you arrive at the GSP airport. It also provides you with the most common driving directions that may be needed.
· Please submit the attached Travel form three weeks prior to your delivery date. We will make all necessary hotel arrangements for you.
We hope your trip here will be a highlight in your automotive experiences and we look forward to meeting you soon. If you have any questions regarding your delivery, please contact us at (864) 968-3000. To visit us on BMWUSA.com click here.

Floor Mats
Please note that the following vehicles do not come equipped with floor mats from the factory: X3, X5, Z4, 1 & 3 series vehicles.
- If you would like floor mats to be in your vehicle at delivery, please contact your BMW Client Advisor from whom you ordered it. They can submit an order for floor mats and other accessories through our parts department no later than 2 weeks prior to your scheduled delivery date.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel your Performance Center Delivery, notify the BMW Center from whom you ordered the vehicle immediately. They will have to submit a cancellation form for your vehicle. Please note the following two situations:
- If the vehicle has already been shipped to the BMW Performance Center, you are responsible for any shipping charges that apply to transport the vehicle back to your selling BMW Center. Vehicles are normally delivered to our facility approximately 2 weeks prior to your delivery date.
- If the vehicle has not been shipped to the BMW Performance Center, the vehicle will simply be re-routed to be transported to your selling BMW Center at no additional cost.
