How many liters? Too many to count! The beer was great and always flowing! (once the M was safely parked for the evening that is, lol) Btw, you will love your color choice......I may be very biased, but I do think that B50 SO is the most unique M color out there. I love it every single time I see it.

Thanks Bluex! That was an awesome writeup and very helpful in my planning of my upcoming ED in September. Great pics and I enjoyed all the little minutia as well.

Have you done this trip yet? I'm trying to figure out my route for my September ED and the Italy options are killing me. If driving there really is as bad as it's made out to be, I may make just one short stop. My dad is going with me and he would like to go to Riomaggiore. Not sure I can make it that deep.

Riomaggiore is quite nice area. So is Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre etc. Italy only gets kind of "sketchy" once you get closer to Rome. Since you will probably be driving down the Brenner... I would say stop and drive thru the Sella region... the Italian Sella Dolomites are quite breathtaking. https://www.google.de/maps/place/Sel...2e83eb90?hl=en Dackel

re: Hotels...
Quote:
You might laugh when you hear this... but I have been ind of disappointed by the various hotels in Munich. They are all so over priced. One hotel that I keep coming back too(mainly for the price and easy location) is Motel One. I usually stay at the one in Garching. They have a garage there (for 6 euros extra) and Breakfast is very basic, but Ok for 8 euros extra. The hotel is only a few years old and rooms are around 59 euros per night. The rooms are clean & stylish, but kind of small. Plus the U-Bahn(subway) is right behind the hotel... and you can see ///M HQ just down the street! Every time I try a different hotel around Munich I get disappointed by the hotel/rooms/service. And normally I spend two or two and half times the price more compared to Motel One. http://www.motel-one.com/en/hotels/munich/ Here are some hotels I know of, but I have never stayed at... Four Points by Sheraton München Olympiapark Helene-Mayer-Ring 12 80809 Münch www.fourpointsolympiapark.com/en This hotel is in walking distance of the BMW Welt. Leonardo Royal Hotel Munich Moosacher Str. 90 80809 München http://www.leonardo-hotels.com/germa...l-hotel-munich The Leonardo is also quite close to the Welt and is also new and a nice place(so I am told). I have been meaning to check out these two hotels, but every time I try to stay there... there is some convention or football game going on and the hotels in Munich triple their rates! (its normal in the hotel industry to do so). Rilano 24|7 Hotel München Domagkstraße 26 80807 München www.rilano-247-hotel-muenchen-schwabing.de/ Hotel Suite Novotel Muenchen Parkstadt Schwabing Lyonel-Feininger-Straße 22 80807 München http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/hotel-...ng/index.shtml Sorry I can't be of much help on Hotels in downtown Munich. One place I really liked... was this Castle Hotel about 25 minutes North of Munich. I rather liked their Castle with a mot around it. The rooms were not that expensive (120 euros) and the area was quite nice to drive around. Schloss Hohenkammer GmbH Schloßstraße 20 85411 Hohenkammer www.schlosshohenkammer.de And there is this Castle about an hour away from Munich. I have not stayed here. Schloss Sandizell Schloßstraße 4 86529 Schrobenhausen http://www.schloss-sandizell.com/

Well, it's been awhile but my beautiful 2015 SO is still just as beautiful and still running equally beautiful! No significant issues at all....just regular maintenance. (Knocks on wood)
A few minor things here and there..... The "tin-can) pebble and brake shriek" issue as described from way back still occasionally happens. With several iPhone updates in 4 years, I've had to delete a few Bluetooth pairings to get things working again. The updated adaptive Euro LED mod that several of us worked hard on those years ago still works beautifully, although admittedly I haven't followed the thread to see if there have been any tweaks to the version of settings we had agreed was "good". No need really. All in all, I've had many chances to trade in (at very good deals) but it always comes back down to "Why?" Had such a great adventure with her 4 years ago in Germany and is just as beautiful of a performance machine as ever.....just no need to give her up. Now maybe with the next gen, perhaps.....or maybe I go Porsche. But for now, still in love with my 2015.....

It really is a pleasure reflecting through the experience of others' similar though still starkly unique deliveries and their subsequent ownership experience. I appreciate your follow-up and journal.
Maybe someday I'll have the initiative to post my own in reflection of the trip of a lifetime.

Finally tinkering around with the idea of selling this fantastic car.
When I look back on this ED pictorial, it makes that decision even more difficult. Amazing car, amazing trip.....she'll always have a place in my heart. As I scroll from page to page, my will to let her go starts to slip

Fun to see this old thread! What a great opportunity for your 15' m3 purchase. It's a shame they don't offer euro delivery anymore or the M models to warrant it!
