Having lived in Germany for three years with my e90m3 and then my F83m4 I can tell you, other than looking good, you're going to get blown by with some Opel station wagon driven by a soccer mom going 220+km/hr. Lol.

Stuff happens in any business model (you're not that special hopefully they communicate issues in a timely manner and give you reasonable options. take the loaner. Drive the hell out of it and enjoy your trip. Take a ton of photos. Go to the ring, go to Spa, enjoy the alpine roads. You won't regret the trip.

Your M will be waiting for you
Call it what you want, this trip was centered around a BMW ///M on unrestricted autobahn, autostrada, Nordschleife and Spa Francorchamps. Who are you to determine what my experience should be?

The only reason I proceeded on my European presentation "experience" was because my wife had a heart set on the final 3 days of our trip in Paris and my tickets were non refundable as they were booked 4 months in advance.

I wouldn't have planned a trip to Europe otherwise and I've been there once before, and only inclination to return would be to make memories in a car I got to take delivery in and experience in Europe then have it redelivered to the me in the US with the break in it received that only Europe can provide.
