Performance Center Delivery from May 20th was INCREDIBLE!

nathan.r007 · 05-22-2014, 09:41 AM

Hello everyone!

This past tuesday, marked a very special day for me. I picked my brand new F30 328i M-sport "Superman" through the performance center delivery and I can't say enough of how incredible and fun the entire experience really was! I had ordered the car on January 31st, so it's been quite the wait for me every day thinking about nothing but this day finally coming. I had just graduated college here in upstate NY this past sunday, so this past week has been nothing short of incredible for me!

I want to begin by first thanking Steve Thomas BMW and David Aviles for being incredible and allowing this experience to even occur! David was by far, the best sales person I have ever dealt with for buying a car period. He's hands down the best in the business.... I'll leave it at that.

Performance center was excellent. Stayed at the Marriott in Greensville the night prior, was treated to a delicious dinner, breakfast and then lunch at the performance center right before pickup of the new car. Got to drive a 335 on the track and push it to the limit's as its.. "Not your car"! as they say haha.

Everyone at the performance center really made you feel special, constantly calling you by your names and not sir or anything. Very polite and respectful and knew you were here for one reason, and one reason only... to have fun!

I have plenty of pictures through the entire experience and if anyone has any questions just let them role! I already threw on some Day 1 mods through PetrolWerks here on Long Island, NY.

Carbon Fiber M Performance trim
Black Kidney grills
Matching EBII front reflectors

Looking to get the M Performance Exhaust very soon after break in period is done.

Looks great! One question why didn't you get a 6MT?

ejfp83 · 05-22-2014, 11:11 AM

Awesome car , enjoy in good health !!

335i_4D · 05-22-2014, 11:15 AM

Very nice !
And the Carbon trim... Must ... Resist

Is it possible for us Canadian to get this delivery option ?

And, nice Omega, came with the car also ?

Nice shots and beautiful car, congrats!

Cyberdemon · 05-22-2014, 02:44 PM

Glad you enjoyed - was just there 2 weeks prior for the 2 day M school.

I'd recommend it as well, 2 days of pushing M cars on the track and skid pad is a blast.

the finish on the m4 rims is so sick

I am planning on doing this in 2014. I went for a track day with a couple of Ms incl m235i and 6ers and 7ers and it was a blast.

I didn't wanna go with the manual just cause I love the sports auto transmission SO much! Paddles give amazing feedback and is a ton of fun to drive with, burned about a half a tank today just from driving in sport around town and having fun!

At the Performance Center Delivery center, they told me was only available to US residents unfortunately, but I'm sure you could still go for an M school anytime you want.

Carbon Trim is amazing! I love it... and no haha Omega is mine, thought it would just be a cool photo op with the new Key Fob Case.

I'm getting the SS pedals and black kidneys, too; they look great

dmath · 05-22-2014, 10:54 PM

Looks like a great experience. Congratulations on the beautiful car. And though I'm partial to IWC, nice Seamaster. I don't recall seeing that dial before. Is it a James Bond edition?

It is the 007 edition, came out right before Casino Royale did back in 06'... stunning watch I love it. Only 10,007 made of this piece... and thanks! Loving the car SO much more then I could have imagined!

Congrat's and thanks for all the photos! We are going to be there in June to pick up the wife's 535xi so this is a big help. Was there any mention of when the factory tours were going to start back up? Have heard June 9th and the 16th. Really hope that the tour is available by the time we get there.

Enjoy the new ride!

Enjoy the new ride!

They gave me a voucher to come back once it opens for free in the future, but I did definitely ask and no one had an exact date but they did tell me most likely next month.

So hopefully you get lucky and it's open for you! Enjoy the trip, it's really so much fun!!
