    Pics from my 135i European Delivery experience.

    After quite a long wait, I flew over to München, Germany to the new BMW Welt to pick up my Alpine White on Coral Red leather '08 135i.

    Here are some pics...


    BMW Welt




    Signing European temp registration documents.


    Snuck a sneak peak of the car before actual delivery


    Presentation of my new car as the delivery rep touches a button on his PDA, a spotlight comes on top of the car and a turntable spins the car slowly.












    Then headed over the the BMW museum..













    Collection of all BMW badges throughout the decades.


    And the one badge that mattered to me!








    Then we headed over to Northern Italy


    And to the famed Stelvio Pass












    Encountered this guy coming up the Stelvio pass as we went down it, had to stop short and back up to let him pass me (not to mention fold my mirrors).











    Dropping off the car for shipping at 1,366 mi (Germany, Austria, Italy and back to Germany).

          Must be a dreamy adventure. To take all those memories of driving in Europe every time you head to the store by using the same car. I never really valued that service until this thread.

                        you can save a couple or a few thousand dollars by doing european delivery, which can then be used to pay for your tour of europe.

                            Wait? You save money by doing this! :-D That is pretty cool. You think they setup this same kind of deal for me for a used e30 :nice:
