Oh oh !!! BUSTED ! Was this whole thing just a clever photoshop ?!



I kid, I kid, thanks for posting, looks like a great trip. Brave man taking it to Paris, but I guess that's something on the bucket list before they ban all cars from Paris.

Looks like an amazing trip, but it was certainly not the most opportune time of year to go.

Scott, awesome picture. Did you do a ED write up by any chance?

Thanks

It probably means it is just 1 of 500 Jahres in the world rather than the 1st produced of 500.

Thanks! I wasn't too sure about the blue when I first saw it in pics, but when I finally saw it in person (when I picked up the car), I was pleasantly surprised. I love how it changes hue in different lighting, yet still is understated.

Thanks! Yes, it definitely is. I've done an ED during every season now and it's always something new and tons of fun.

I was going to get the M Performance steering wheel, but I love the heat, that I'm going to keep the OEM one now, lol.

As for the rain and snow, literally minutes after taking delivery, I drove down into the Welt's garage and applied Optimum Spray Wax to the car to give it some additional protection:



Also, I ended up washing the car a couple of times, including in the snow and ice:

If you didn't like Paris driving-wise, stay away from Rome in that case. You'd hate that one let me tell you.
Thanks!

Haha, yes! I was in Rome a couple years ago and could not fathom driving there. I am definitely either renting a car with full insurance or just not driving at all next time in Rome.

Thanks!

Fabrizio, unfortunately, BMW did not give a personal serial number for each of the 500 cars. All of the 30 Jahre's say 1/500. Thus, this is not the number one car of the 500, but one of the 500 cars.

I took bunch of pictures, but just too lazy to put them together due to busy work schedule after coming back from the trip. I will take some time off to finish my write up.
