Mustangquadcam Great write up and pics! It was nice meeting you at Welt. Too bad we didn't much time to connect. Have you tracked your car yet? Has it left the port?

I haven't. Our dealer has sent me no updates.

Have you gotten any details? I assume we're probably on the same boat.

No word yet. I called the BMW ED phone number with my production order # and they told me the car had already been delivered to Kuni of Portland. I contacted my dealer and he said the car hadn't left the port yet.

Congrats on the new car! enjoy in good health

Maybe the robots took over the BMW ED Phone Bank too! They are like gremlins! Evil and malicious!

M-Pilot · 11-09-2015, 07:46 PM

Wow! I enjoyed every bit of your post. Also, San Marino Blue is my favorite color of all times. What a great choice

rr006rbc · 11-09-2015, 08:34 PM

50 pts for your 5x8 portraits of your first ED. that is SO bad ass!

That was back before digital cameras, so for the entire trip, I could only dig up 32 pictures. And a few were real duds! Blurry and out of focus. This year, I took over 400 digital pics! How technology has changed!

Beautiful car, enjoy it in good health. I actually picked up an E36 M3 coupe last year and have been enjoying the hell out of it ever since.

Great cars! I will definitely find one at some point. It's hard to find them in decent shape for a good price.

MFNATIK · 11-09-2015, 09:06 PM

Great write up Doug! I hope I can do a 20th Anniversary ED trip in future! That would be so awesome!

BGR · 11-09-2015, 09:15 PM

At first I thought you wore the same outfit 20 years later but alas.

BGR · 11-09-2015, 09:20 PM

Also, curious to hear your thoughts on the F80 vs the other BMWs you've owned. Everyone has their own opinion, and I'm trying to gather as many as I can before making a decision on the M2, F80, or keeping my e92 M3.

StealYourFace · 11-09-2015, 09:35 PM

Well done, wouldn't change a thing(well yes, silver wheels

)

Somehow I imagine that white e36 with a roll cage and coil overs as somebodies hpde track rate. I love those cars.

Awesome write up and pictures.

It pisses me off as an American that we are so quick to tear down old buildings, and any attempts to preserve are met with contempt all too often. Currently a few hours away a historic landmark is in the process of being torn down and replaced by a replica (yes, wtf, search chataqua institute).

Sorry for the tangent, again congrats and get that car to a cca hpde as soon as possible.

So wait.....you left your wife home and took the girlfriend on the ED???!!! Lol awesome

ORIGIN M. · 11-10-2015, 12:48 AM

Wunderbar !

Now you can change your name to ///MTwinCam.

buffstocover · 11-10-2015, 01:04 AM

Well done. Sweet, really sweet car.

Question for you: I've always wondered what one does about the car's break-in procedures on the big European Delivery adventure, with all those sweet roads and the Autobahn to tempt one's right foot? Do you follow them? Ignore them?

Good question. I took it easy the first few days, Kept it under 4,500 RPM until I got to around 800 miles, and then began to open it up a little. 135 mph was about 4,800 RPM. Got up to 140 for a brief moment. I'll have plenty of time to open her up on the rural roads and passes here in Oregon in good time!
