Yep but it's a lease. As others have mentioned on these forums as long as you vary your high speeds and don't maintain a high RPM level for more than a few seconds it's fine.
Great photos, thanks for sharing.


... hmm takes more than "a few seconds" of high RPM to get to 150 mph even in the more torquey M240i

Awesome write up! We're doing a similar trip next year so we'll definitely be putting this information to use!

Unless you also plan to have the break in service done during your ED, fuck the break in period put the hammer down on those roads

No holes, they attach it with some really strong double-sided tape!
Mine is still working 5 -6 years later

Very nice and congrats! Is there any advantage besides of course going to Europe in doing a ED for a lease vehicle?

Awesome pics

ED MSRP is 5% less than U.S. MSRP (only on the base vehicle MSRP, not options). You also get the 2nd payment comp'd, but the .0003 MF addr basically wipes that out. Unfortunately most incentives/rebates (except BMW CCA) also don't apply to ED.

Awesome journal! I'm doing my ED next June and I'm definitely stealing some of your ideas.

Awesome photos!!!!

I will say that your "passenger" sounds horrid. You should have sent her home and found a nice German girl that appreciates the beauty of the machine, experience and scenery.
