My "American Delivery"
I have ordered my car from a dealership in New Jersey and will be driving it back to Dallas. I am calling it my "American Delivery" experience lol. I can't decide if I am more excited about the new car or the road trip back, I have never spent any time in the North East and very excited. The car should be here in October. Anyone have any suggestions on places to go, roads to drive, etc?
Here's the plan so far: - 2 days in NYC - Pick the car up on a Monday. - Drive to Washington DC and be a tourist for one day. - Drive to the Spartanburg Factory for a tour. Possibly taking a long way around through the Appalachian Mountains where possible and time permitting. - Drive the "Tail of the Dragon" route North of there that I have seen recommended. - Nashville, Memphis, and Little Rock route back to Dallas. Somewhere at this point the car will be past the break in period and I can go nuts Any suggestions are welcome! I have a friend that will be coming along for the journey and will try to get loads of pictures of the new ride along the way!

No dealer in Dallas would even talk about selling at Invoice Price. Even my local dealer that I have purchased 2 BMWs from!

Make sure you spend some time on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey on the way back with the car. It's a great road to drive in terms of how fast you can go and the condition of the road. Maybe even stop off in Atlantic City before leaving NJ. Good luck with your car and your road trip!

did you check in Houston too? New Jersey seems like a long way unless you needed an excuse for a "ROAD TRIP"

I didn't check Houston, the NJ dealer was going to ship it to me but the idea of a road trip sounded like a blast so I went with their offer.

Have you tried BMW Houston North? They have some great deals...the lady priced it out according to the site not to mention a bit of wiggle room
