PCD'd my E70 4.8 M-Sport (pics)

I did performance center delivery for my X5 last monday. It was a great experience, both in the center/factory and on the way home. Also delivered that day were an M3 DCT and a new 7. We took the blue ridge highway home, stopping in Kentucky for a bourbon tour. Total time to Chicago was less than 10 hours, averaging 82mph for the trip.

Oh, they're not all mine...only the X. The M3 is owned by a guy in Indy, and I don't know about the 7. They let us park on the sidewalk in front of the Zentrum when we were doing our factory tour.

Carbon Black...it really depends on how the light hits it as to what color it looks like.

Nice X you got there. Would love to PCD a BMW myself one day How was your experience? Would you classify it as worth it?

BTW, on the paint chip, I got one on the passenger side door where probably no protection would have saved it

I've heard varying stories. If you PCD, do you still get charged the destination charge? Also, is it registered in your home state already when you pick it up or you need to do that when you get home.

I really enjoyed it; it was totally worth the 750 mile drive home.

You do get charged the destination, as the performance center isn't at the factory and they do all the factory delivery stuff as well as:
- put you up in the Marriott and feed you the night before
- get you out on the track for 2 hours day-of delivery
- take you through the factory on an "owners tour", which i understand is more thorough than a normal tour, owing to the smaller groups (we were 4, much smaller than the groups of 20 that go through there)

Your dealer should have all the registration paperwork done 2 weeks out from delivery. I arrived with plate in hand. This is one of those deals (like ED) where you are all paid up and own the car (or are the lessee) well in advance of actually being able to drive said car.

Congrats on your M Sport! I love the 20s, but they're a PITA to clean!
