Nice car and great pics!

Congrats!!!!

Sprungli is one of my favorite places in all of Europe, I just came back from Europe last week and spent at least $500 at Sprungli on chocolate. That place is to die for.

And driving in Zurich is a bitch, I agree... But you know what, the roads in Switzerland (and in Germany) make Los Angeles look like a third world country.

Agreed. The chocolates there are fantastic. It's true the Authobhan and most outer city roads are very nicely kept. I don't think there were any potholes or bumps in the roads. One thing's for sure though, I won't be driving in Zurich again lol.

Very nice pictures! Thanks for sharing the ED experience

positiveions · 10-02-2010, 08:48 PM

congrats. couldn't get over the price of chocolate and the stuffed animals. my goodness

sor · 10-02-2010, 08:51 PM

There was a thread around here where someone said they got some curb rash during ED, and when they picked it up in the US it had a new wheel. Cross your fingers...

Malek@MRF · 10-02-2010, 08:57 PM

Congrats brotha..

I miss it there so much already!

signalbobby · 10-02-2010, 11:52 PM

I think you have me mistaken with someone else...

I've wanted this car since I was 8 years old. I didn't even bother test driving any other car and bought this as soon as I had the cash to do so.

DAMN!! You just took me through memory lane, I loved the little town where Mozart was born. I actually miss Europe all over again!! Thanks for sharing!! It looks like you had a blast!! I hope the wheels and chips get corrected before re-delivery! GL and enjoy it!! I love that combo, even tho you didn't go extended on the red!!

infiniti2424 · 10-03-2010, 05:03 PM

nice car congrats

mdosu · 10-03-2010, 05:12 PM

those puff pastries are called macarons. The famous ones are in Ladurée in Paris, France, and you can pick up tasty and cheap ones at McDonald's in Europe!

NYCMCBM3 · 10-03-2010, 09:52 PM

looks great man congratsz

VonSwoopington · 10-03-2010, 09:55 PM

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to get it back. I hope it hops on the ship that's leaving October 6th!

Muffnbluff · 10-04-2010, 01:59 PM

Gorgeous car! I'm hoping to be able to do a european delivery of a jet black E90 M3 with competition package next year. I guess I need to go to my dealership and figure out when I'd need to order by.

I loved Salzburg when I was there years ago. If I do ED I'd like to hit up the following cities in a two week tour:

Munich
Salzburg
Innsbruck
Fuessen
Lucerne
Baden-Baden

It takes 30 days from the day you order the car to do an ED. I would say you can order early February and go early to mid March!

I agree Salzburg is an amazing city. Wish I spent a little bit more time there and less time in Zurich.

PrimeBMW · 10-04-2010, 08:08 PM

It is hard to capture the experience in pictures and words. It is truly an amazing feeling isn't it? I did ED with a buddy this May but I plan to take my wife there in the future. I would sell my M3 next summer just so I could do European Delivery again!!!!
BTW It is worth putting 1200 miles on the car and doing the break in service just to enjoy the autobahn!

IND-Distribution · 10-05-2010, 10:18 AM

This is the best Euro Delivery thread I've seen! Great detail in your article!

Yeah I was trying to get to 1200 miles but I just didn't have enough time

. At least I'm more than half-way there. I will definately be doing another ED in my lifetime. It's just too much fun!

That 1,200 mile service has gotta be pricey over there. I was thinking about that because if it all possible I'd love to make my way up to the 'ring if I did ED.

I spent three weeks in Germany when I was in high school, had my 18th birthday there. THat was over 10 years ago now, I'd love to go back. The wife and I really want to plan it around Oktoberfest 2011, but I'm not sure the production will go until then.
