What are you going to drive while you wait for your car to come stateside after the ED?

Excellent choice. I have seen the reports of several that have done the euro delivery and they all seem to have a great time. In a couple of years when I get a new car I plan on doing the same.

I've never heard of anyone being disappointed, even if the weather was bad.

Fremont...not too far from you

From what I heard it is the longest 8-10 weeks (if you live on the west coast) of your life after you drop your car off to be shipped here. Quote:

I'll keep my E46 pretty much until my new car arrives around the end of August if everything goes smoothly. |

Alright,
Finally added some pics of my ED. Dropped the car off on June 15th in Munich and am still waiting for it. Visited following places during the two week stay: Munich (obviously), Fussen (Neuschwanstein Castle), Garmisch Parten-Kirchen (Zugspitze), Bolzano in Italy, Stelvio Pass, Davos in Switzerland, Possibly Lichtenstein...took a little detour, Freiburg in Germany, Back to Munich to drop the car off, Flew to Paris One piece of advice: Nav of some sort is an absolute must!!! Figured that I'd be able to navigate easily...yeah right! The damn street signs are so tiny...especially when you're used to the billboard-sized ones in U.S. Got to Bolzano and was so fed up that I bought a portable Tom Tom. BMW Welt as viewed from the Museum. One my favorite sightings at the museum. M3, CSL...remember when Jeremy from Top Gear test drove it? Our #328 locker at BMW welt The big moment And off we go... Another european delivery parked next to me at the Neuschwanstein castle parking lot View of Alps from Zugspitze Going up Stelvio Pass Hairpin turns... More hairpin turns Enjoying the view Random bachelors party in Freiburg. There is a keg on there with a designated 'driver'...everyone else is sh** faced. Guess who the bachelor is? Schwarzwald! Back in Munich...last car wash before drop off. Spotted a Alpina B7 at drop off...very nice ride Saying bye bye to the car Enjoying a last heff at Hacker Pschorr Brauhaus in Munich before flying out to Paris No pix of Paris since I dropped the car off beforehand...no one wants to see my ugly face in front of the Eiffel tower |

Thanks.
I was trying not to go too crazy during the break in period. The fasted I got was 130 mph for a brief period on the autobahn going from Freiburg to Munich. Even at that I was slowing down this 318i behind me |
