Congrats on getting your car back so fast and avoiding the rear diff hold! Mine was surprisingly fast as well and expected it back in less than 30 days, until I got news of the hold, ended up taking 66 days All is well now as I'm loving every minute of having it

Really sorry to hear about your hold. Mine was apparently built after all of that had been fixed, although only just after!

Uploaded the video to youtube this weekend and it was muted because my car radio was playing copyrighted music (almost inaudibly). Trying another video sharing system now. Wish me luck!

Forgive me for this but you seem to be a cute couple, really cheering up the ambient even more in the pictures, wow! Godspeed!

Thanks so much!

That's a loaded question and really depends on what you do and when you travel. There are a lot of posts on this forum and "the other forum" about costs, but if you have any specific expenses you want to estimate feel free to ask my experience.

I drove the kids to Garmisch and up to the Zugspitze, which was a great destination. I also spent 5 days in Munich and explored several beer gardens and fell in love with the Spaten Haus for dinner. If I did ED, I'd lay out more than a couple token days in Munich, though it's tough to carve out 2 full weeks to buy a car. Then again, I have a spanish wife who insists on a 2 week block of vacation in the summer.

Now when is the 4 door M2 launching?

Munich was great, and I do wish we had an additional day there; however, seeing the castle for the first time was totally worth it. Next time our itinerary will probably be completely different now that we hit most of the popular tourist spots!
