Looks like a great trip OP. And thank you for continuing the effort to save the MT! Seems like you've got it all figured out, car, trip, and lady friend. Might I suggest you make that last bit more permanent soon. Any woman who is willing to indulge your car geekdom is well worth the added investment of the mrs degree.

OK, be honest. How many pounds did you pack on during that trip? That food looks incredible!
As someone who really wanted to do European Delivery and couldn't make the schedule work, I appreciate you letting us experience a bit of the journey through your photos. Thanks for documenting and sharing! |

Great trip and awesome car... wife and I both itching to do it again we had so much fun (M3 in Oktober 2015). Its such a great time that its amazing to me other OEM's don't embrace the program to the same level. I'm trying to ED a Targa 4S for next summer or fall and the dealerships want nothing to do with it and it ends up costing more not less. Bums me out and may be the reason I pick up another BMW. upcoming M5 may be beckoning

Thanks for sharing. Great pictures and great trip. Would love to do a European delivery one day. Roughly $6 per gallon then and $80 per tank take or give. No wonder them Europeans like them Diesel and more economical 4 cylinder engines.
Sana few M2's today here in Irvine and they look great ? |

Cool pics and wonderful report, thanks for sharing your memories with us!
Not to worry about long drives though, in 2009 I did one stint of 950 miles in a day to get ready for break-in service and Nurburgring, then a few days later did a 12 hr stint from the Ring to Barcelona. Good part about an Euro Delivery, it will lead to many more in the future.

Great thread and awesome pics!! Makes me want to do ED again.
Question for you? How hard was it to stay below the rev limits and under 105 on the Ring, or did you not listen to the 105 from that pic of the dash I wait until I drove back around and had my first 1200 mile service on my M3 before I hit the ring because I really wanted to ring out to 8000 RPM. Cant wait to see your vids!

I never ED before, and we are planning to go with wife to my cousin's M-ED in 2018. This story definitely gave me some idea how it feels like. Thank you for sharing. Fantastic write up!

Some of the best ED shots I've seen, great work. Could not help but notice your wall slamming parking skills, +1. G-Luck with the auto...After all, 2 is the new 3.
