F32 EBII Munich delivery, 13 May

TankerJoe · 05-17-2014, 05:28 PM

The wait is finally over. I took my wife to Munich on the train to pick up my long-awaited 428i earlier this week. I took three days of leave to make the trip to Munich and return to Wiesbaden, and then a whole separate day to enjoy a day-long drive up the autobahn to a great destination along the Rhine river.
In Munich, we took the plant tour and visited the Welt. Seeing 3 and 4 series BMWs pressed, painted, and assembled was amazing. The cool thing is that my wife seemed to be more impressed than I was. Kudos to Wolfgang Voss, our BMW delivery expert at the Welt. He was enthusiastic, patient, and very professional. I recommend him to anyone going on an ED.
The trip was spectacular, and the car is a blast to drive!
On my third day, I unintentionally drove along the back roads from Rheinbollen to Bacharach and into the Rhine gorge. It was mid-day Wednesday and for the last 20 kms to Bacharach there wasn't another car on the road. I put the 4'er into Sport mode and enjoyed every minute of the barely two lane road with six hairpin turns and a 10% grade at times.
It handled the curves and downgrade as advertised.
I'll post more pics and scenic sights soon.

Congrats, beautiful ride!

We took delivery of our 335i F31 in March and also enjoyed the entertainment of Wolfgang Voss - he is a brilliant guy and has unbelievable knowledge of the cars.

This is him presenting the car to us:
