Just Ordered a 435 xDrive! Performance Center Delivery Questions
Mineral Grey
Coral Red Cold Weather Driver Ass. Plus DHP Lighting Pack. M Sport 19s Tech M Sport Brakes HK BMW Apps Sunshade M Sport Power Kit Now the long wait comes. I promised my father I would take him to the Performance Center next time I ordered a car. I should be picking it up in SC sometime in March after the build. Does anyone have any suggestions about about the PC delivery? Things I should check out or do there? I am also going to miss my E92. It was a great car, and is still in almost perfect condition after 5 years and 111,000 miles. To all the haters out there that said the N54 or turbo engines wouldn't last; I have the proof they do. It purrs like a kitten, and uses no oil at all. I drive a lot for work, so it was time for a new ride, and something with a warranty just in case.

They'll have some info on things to do on your way home, but it somewhat depends on how much time you allot on your return trip. The Blue Ridge Parkway is really pretty, but the speed limit is low, and in March, you might run into issues, but probably not with the weather. It's a nice ride, but they beg for faster driving, and you are at risk from the park cops.
The hotel is decent, but nothing to write home about. The restaurant is also decent. Breakfast was at the Performance Center, if I remember properly, along with lunch. You'll be out of there early-mid afternoon, but in March, the sun still will set moderately early. It's a fun experience. I just flew in the night before, and drove to my brother-in-law's house in VA right after (I met him there, he rode home with me). Since I'd done ED, I didn't need to spend time you will, getting my new car introduction...I'd done that in Munich, so you'll be out of there later after lunch than I. Since my BIL had taken a vacation day, I didn't do much other than the 500-mile or so trip back to his house. FWIW, I did that on ONE tank of fuel, but it was into the reserve. Mostly interstate, and I was trying to abide by the new car restrictions ( I kept it below 100mph in Germany, too!?). Enjoy... |
