Congrats on the beautiful car! Sounds like you had an amazing time, next time i get a car it will defiantly be this way.
On a side note... Your video = kinda lame. Brand new M3 and you follow a mini van for 2 minutes? I was hoping with that music and that mini van we were in for a fly by, guess you were taking it easy on her during break in? Redemption video is most certainly necessary.

Heres your redemption video MrSoul and
Appreciate the acknowledgement of this past Performance Center Delivery trip and like to extend all the appreciation to the BMW community for making our BMW experience a worthwhile and memorable one.. btw the PCD staff didnt short change me in learning to how to drive our high performance car to its fulliest safely and FUN

Wow, didn't know you could go both. So, you pick it up at Welt in Munchen then they fly it to Spartanburg, eh?

NO way I could get my wife to agree to both!

Yeah - you have to wait a while in between just like a normal redelivery to the US.

Not sure if the wife will want to do the PCD either but that's ok, she can stay home with the kids if desired.

Not too many wifes are into Performance Driving, so you may have to do that yourself like me, which is good; more driver seat time.

However, if its Europe Im sure they'll be the first to pack their bags with a long shopping list




plus the Autobahn !!!!! thats better than the track, thats the real deal

Just got back from a weekend at the Performance Driving School. WAS WORTH EVERY DIME:happyanim:

The instructors were awesome, and the two day school was spectacular. Could go on for hours but the OPs pictures and posts cover everything. Can't wait to do the PCD for my M3 next spring:happyanim:

cool, who did you have for intructors?

cant wait for your PCD version report, any unforgetable moments like my partner and I's near roll over ?

Steve a woman name? Not quite sure whats up with that place for they have a Willie a lady too that does Performance Delivery Specialist


/M school
its addictive isnt it, let me know when you're doing it, for I like to drive down again with some guys here. Bimmers going down south I85 would be a nice sight to see.

the NCCBMWCCA chapter here has Annual Spring Mbrship /M day for half the price of the full day at PC. You kinda have to watch out and be fast registering though, for the space is limited.

Love to hook up with you and other Driving Enthusiasts sometime



btw... hindsight I cant imagine doing all this fun on a M5 FTW!!!
hope not to wet my pants

lolz!

j/k of crse!

btw I recently got a card for the Owners Return Program, selected to redeem a voucher for a day of PC Driving Class at Spartanburg.

Had anyone who recently purchased a car have the same?
just curious

WOW! I will defintely do the PDC delivery on my next M! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for all the info, links, and pics. I think this thread should be made sticky!

thks
I've asked the Admin and as your suggestion as Sticky!
maybe under delivery section

and everyone can register their car photos and short experience report during delivery

I wanted to do PCD with my '02 M3 but time didn't work out for me. I will try to plan things better when I get an E9x M3. I'm in a flying club -- we have about 60 pilots and 4 planes. My ultimate delivery would include flying down there with one of the other pilots in tow to fly the plane back. This way I can get aerial photos of the whole setup. I'd love to register those photos.

Well the BMW Gods have been really good to me, months after I picked up my 08 M3 in July 08, I was selected for the BMW Owners Return Program. A Letter from BMWNA arrived with a voucher no. making me eligible for a Full Day of Car Control Class.

I cant wait to drive back down there again and play with the performance center guys again soon
.... be driving down South a DCT and cant wait see this DCT full potential on the open road

Great photos! I took PC delivery of my 07 530i in March 2007. I also got the Owners Return Program offer when I neared the end of my 04 330i in January 07. I took advantage of the 1 day driver control school in July 2007. I paid for my 21 year old son to take the class also. We had a fantastic time. I just leased an 08 M3 so I will probably sign up for the free M3 class next year sometime. Thank you BMWNA!
