Got Status 105 in Jan. Moved pickup date to July and got Status 111 in very early March.
Got the ED package from BMWNA just before COVID hit. Sent out purchase order and passport info in April.
Been in touch with Raven since May 1. She's been trying to convince me that pickup will happen as requested since I submitted the forms before the deadline (May 15 or 18). She confirmed my July 30 date on May 15. Haven't heard from her since (she was supposed to confirm the exact pickup time by this past Friday).
Did ED once before, with wife and kids, it was fantastic. We took our Q7 to Grossglockner pass, former EVO stomping grounds in Val d'Orcia, had family vacation in Portofino, and did some 130+mph sweeps on Autobahn. Will not buy a new car without ED.
This time, we plan to do route 17 from Glarus, hit Susten, Grimsel and Furka passes, do route 500 up Schwartzwald to Baden-Baden, and wrap it up in Mosel, visiting some vineyards and doing a few laps on the Nordschleife.

We finally got a white one!
Buchloe_Burkard, you've been added to the top post...I think you bring us to 10! Great route! My intended routes incorporates that trifecta. Route 17 is the Klausenstrasse, another great one!

I’m watching the governmental press releases like a hawk regarding non-citizen travel. The boarders are slowly opening for intra-eu travel, but not yet to international. Currently, the absolute earliest it will happen is June 15th. And who knows if they’ll impose any type of mandatory quarantine at first.

I saw a piece this weekend that showed Spain's PM saying they intend to open for international travel "from July." I don't know if that means crossing the border with France international or come on in on Iberia international, but I got the sense it was the latter when he talked about the 80MM+ annual tourists and the importance of tourism.
