Ye pricey but saves the time and hassle trying to look for places to wash. Im.not sure if log in out does handwash but im sure they will take care of the car compared to a random carwash.

Only need ED paperwork and passport. No ss number or anything. Some teenager chick drove my car and god knows where she went. Maybe the carwash?? God i miss my car already... its only been a day. I sure will miss the autobahn lol..

Just a heads up for the poeple doing ED. Be carefull driving in fussen pass while going to the neuschwanstein castle. Those freakin rogue cows are insane. The farms usually have barb wires or ropes that keep the cows inside the farm but yest, there were 2 rogue cows running up the road towards my car. I couldnt back up due to another vehicle right behind me. The roads are tight as it is but i manged to accelerate in 1st gear and the cows lunged forward at the car and barely missed my car. I was going slow at first just to see if the cows would get startled but they were in a mission for destruction lol. Anyways, just be careful guys.

We're now 7 days away from our flight. 9 days till delivery. This is my first new car in 13 years, so it hasn't really sunk in yet that this is happening. A while ago I was feeling excited about driving my own car around Europe. Now I just feel nervous about it, haha.

Just wait until you're doing a hundred and someone wizzes by you like you're standing still...

[jeremicium]

3 days til we leave, 5 days til delivery. Time is literally* standing still.

Just noticed they finally updated my car with a color close to LSB and I have LED lights now

Agip gas station at the Munich airport with self wash bays. Took me about 3 euros and 10 minutes to wash the car right before drop off.

Finnnnally got my car!! A couple updates...

Per Wolfgang, the delivery specialist, all M's will now start coming with Conti's as the PSS's were considered "slippery" deeming them unsafe. They probably saw that YouTube vid of that megadouche slipping the backend and jumping the curb in his SO M4. I don't track my car so I couldn't care less about stickiness but the PSS are definitely the better looking tire. The Conti's arent ugly but I would def choose the PSS when picking between the two from a styling perspective. That said, if it is true that Contis are safer, i would definitely choose the Contis first.

Also, Wolfgang "confirms" they made the exhaust on 16's deeper. I can neither confirm or deny this from my own experience. But I can say the cold start definitely does not sound as rattlely. Or at least I remember the 15 being a little more harsh. It's still rattlely, just maybe sidegraded from a riding lawnmower to a scooter. And FWIW, it's super fucking loud on cold starts. I think i almost gave this poor old german dude a heart attack when he was walking behind my car. I didnt notice him in my rearview until after i had already started the car but his eyes looked as if he had just been attacked, lol.

Anyway, I'm off to Prague!

I think all the 18s are coming with PSS and the 19s are hit or miss.
