Winning, what dates where your there? 8/15? An I know what you mean about the drive after a few days..it gets tiring I only covered 1500 miles, so I can only think what 4500 felt like..an agree not an easy car to do a u turn in... Have you figured out the ship yet? Little lady gray hair at Login Out?

Nope fortunately no damage to the vehicle at all during the entire trip. Drove through the alps and Switzerland but unfortunately not through the main epic ones many people go on. Was that or the Nurburgring as it was the second to last day of the trip.

Great writing! Thanks for the awesome journal I would like to ask you one thing. About the suspension. How was it? How did you feel driving in Romania? Since Bulgaria and Romania have some bad roads I've been thinking to order the car with 18 and adaptive suspension but not a big fan of the adaptive suspension. Is the standard suspension too firm and the more soft settings of the adaptive would be better for such roads
Thank you again for the time you've spend writing this amazing journal!

Nice! Makes me want to fly to the US just to do a euro delivery!
One question, how does the insurance work for these trips? I can't visit countries like Romania with my car since my insurance isn't valid there (and some other countries in Europe where cars disappear). Are the ED trips fully covered everywhere? |

Also BMW gives quite a bit of insurance in the million dollar range and it costs nothing for the first 14days. |

You cannot do Euro Delivery on the X5, X3, X4 or any other model made in the US. I did it on my X1 though since that is assembled in Leipzig.

But don't lie you check the shipping website daily, looking at potential rims and other after-market parts.. Perhaps even went to another dealership for a test drive.

Wow what a trip. I'm pretty sure you just cleared all doubts in my mind about black sapphire. The sakhir orange as well was what i wanted inside and this looks EXACTLY how I am purchasing my M. Thanks for the pictures.
