Great review! Congrats.

The Performance Center is excellent - I've been there twice for their driving schools. In fact, one of my instructors was Paul (great guy)!

Just ask your sales guy. Tell him ASAP so they know to route the car that way.

Beautiful color combo on a great looking car. BMW did a great job with it. So we know you love the M235, any thoughts on the M4 after a few laps with the PDC driver?

Ah, PCD was so much fun! Our X3 was parked right up front. Congratz!

P.S. Easy on the lady to the right. That's the wife.

Hehe, thanks for the condolences. It was deserved, but hopefully next year will be better? Are you from Ipswich, then?

Great looking car and experience.
I wish BMW would go to the same extend for all of their customers across the world... Definitely would have made it a better experience and choice to stay with them.

Do both! I did in 2010 and it was awesome! We drove around Europe for a week, but the car on a boat and waited for it to arrive at the Performance center. Drove a one-way rental to Spartanburg and had a great time. Of course, we didn't get the 45 minute instruction on the car because we already had a week's experience with it.

Planning our next double-delivery for 2015!

Hey buddy! How are ya! I was in the blue 335 w/ you! I have a similar pic w/ my wife driving when i was in the back seat on the skid pad. Your pics came out nice! Nice write up as well. I was trying to see if I ended up in any of your pics but the only one is of me driving in front of you as we were following Paul. For the hot laps, we were in M5's. Did you guys get to go in an M4? My product specialist, Nick, said they only had one M4 there and it belonged to BMWNA so they couldn't touch it yet. Good thing you got to take delivery 1st. We took delivery after lunch and didn't leave till about 3:30pm. Here's a link to my write up and pics: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=993510
