Picked Up from the Performance Center

malc410326 · 04-27-2012, 09:18 PM

Stunning! And definitely a great decision to take delivery at the Performance Center. If only I had thought about it more carefully, I now regret a bit not doing an ED or a PCD.

But, I just didn't have the patience to wait!

Congrats again my friend and hope to see some more pics!

We have almost the same specs on our cars too....

I have a way you can find out

This will make you very happy. Every dealership has access to a build sheet. It has your vin, location during shipment, where it was built etc. and your CA can print it for you, as mine did. It will list all of the features of the car and as long as you have the premium package and xenons, it should say "Cluster with Extended Contents" and where it tells you the price, it will say "N/C" meaning No Charge. That also how I found out I have automatic high beams

Thanks man! I brought my mom (LOL) and she ended up having more fun than I did doing all the track stuff. I mean, I had a shit ton of fun, but she was giggling like a lunatic. haha We're going Saturday to get her a white F30 so that we can do it again in a month or so! Twice in one year woo!

I meant to say "can" print it for you

Do you need a picture of what the sheet looks like?

yerffejleahcim · 04-27-2012, 09:29 PM

Is this the one? If it is, i won't have it.... Either way, i will still be happy with the car. :-).

Yup its mine... The only change i had to be made were the leather seats to be Coral Red. I guess i won't have the Ext cluster..... It's ok though. hehe. If i were near the Performance center, that is what i would want to do as well.

That's very strange that you have everything that I have and you don't have it on your build sheet

I'll try doing some research and see what I can find.

Looks fantastic in that color , how do you rate the new engine for performance and Torque, and how is it on the fuel , enjoy

Thanks man! I would rate the new engine a 107 out of 5

Torque and power are on POINT. Everything is so crisp and effortless. I am truly impressed. Same with gas. I only have 300 miles on her, so clearly not done with break in, and I averaged 38mpg on my way home from Spartanburg. (On the first drive!)

Next day you get a condensed version of BMW driving school and a factory tour etc. If you go to youtube and search for BMW performance driving school, I imagine you would find some videos. They even had a race car driver take us in an M5 and drift!'

Then at the end there is your car ready to go in their showroom. The mountain roads around there are awesome (search for "tail of the dragon"). The only bummer for you is that it would be a lot of mileage back to CA.. In our case we were taking the car only about 600 miles back to FL...

Don't forget that they also give you free drinks with dinner

and even pay for the tip!! The M5 lap was UNREAL. It was freaking awesome. If you can, get Donnie. He took us around and really tore it up. NO WORDS.

Unless you are unfortunate enough to stay there on a Sunday like I did... When we went 4 yrs ago no alcohol sold on Sundays!

Oh no! haha, that law is no longer in effect

I'm so envious. I didn't even know the Performance Center Delivery was an option I only knew about European Delivery. I'm hands down doing the SC pickup every new BMW and on...

Please do. I was in my dealership today buying some accessories and there were a couple people considering it. Of course I told them to do it. I'm like a walking, talking advertisement for PCD.They should start paying me

Ryan9095 · 04-29-2012, 08:01 AM

I know unfortunately it's too late to do it for my F30 but my next car it's happening! Thanks for sharing your experience it sounds like you had an incredible time!

If it's still on order, it can still be re-routed to the PC if you wanted. It can be changed up until it gets on a truck. Just in case.

Ryan9095 · 04-29-2012, 08:39 AM

It is I think it's still on the ship "En Route" to the US. I'm calling my CA ASAP to inquire!

Yes! please do! You may have to wait an extra week or two because of the demand to go to the PC but it can still go there! You're CA can call and negotiate the earliest possible delivery date. That's what mine did since there are normally cancellations. Good luck!

Drove my 328i in Sport mode for the first time today. I've been afraid to because I KNEW i'd go over the 4500 limit. HOLY HELL, This thing is quick.
