Why you should take Performance Center Delivery, a complete report

Dang! That x5 ride looks crazy!

Congrats on the beautiful car! Sounds like you had an amazing time, next time i get a car it will defiantly be this way.
On a side note... Your video = kinda lame. Brand new M3 and you follow a mini van for 2 minutes? I was hoping with that music and that mini van we were in for a fly by, guess you were taking it easy on her during break in? Redemption video is most certainly necessary.

Cool. I want that white M3 E30 with rollcage.

Very nice write-up and cool pics!
Thx for sharing!

wow if I ever buy new and don't fly to germany I'm going to check this out

Thanks for taking the time to make this thread. Looks like it was a great experience! And congrats on the M3!

Thanks for sharing...

I had a friend that did PCD on an `01 3er coupe with his dad, I've since been jealous.

Awesome story..will definitely go that route on my next Bimmer...

are their any discounts or incentives, besides fun/adventure?

Last I heard they gave BMW Club mbrs 20% off for the driving classes...

I have to thank the OP for this trip report. I wasn't going to do PCD, but now I am.

thanks for sharing. I would like to do the Euro delivery; for anything, I want to enjoy a german car in a german environment.

I have done Ed with the Z4 35i and it was great but I will definitely do PCD next time with my lovely bride. Thanks for sharing the great pics and experience.

No, as far as I know. It is a delivery program just like European Delivery is. Factory orders only.

So when you do this, does it mean that your car is American made?

Mine is made in Germany and being shipped for PCD.

The ship docks in NJ and the car gets a truck to the Performance Center.

Are you really only given one date to accept for performance center delivery or can you change it?

Never mind, I just got word...

"In the event your customer is unable to take advantage of this date, you have the option of canceling the reservation or you can provide us with 3 alternate days that meet your customer’s schedule. Alternate dates must fall within 10 working days (Monday thru Friday) after the original assigned date above. Again, dates are assigned according to your customer’s production number and are on a first-come-first-serve basis. For obvious reason, Fridays are typically the days that fill up first."

I'm set for 6/11/10...
