Part II - LBB M2 Performance Center Re-Delivery [Lots of Pictures]

jaehshim · 08-12-2017, 08:18 AM

also did a drive earlier this yr, similar route from NYC -> DC -> Charlotte -> SC BMW center and back, total about 1800 miles
wish the factory was open for daily tour but they said they are prepping for the new "x" cars...x7 specifically.
oh well, still loved the trip

car looks awesome, congrats!

Here is a 'hot lap' from 6 years ago in a M5. Camera was attached to the front bumper for 'road view'. Great sounding V8.

Bucket list stuff. Nice photos.

Sweet pics!!

Great write up, beautiful cars. I just hate that you missed the twisties in western NC: 276, Moonshiner 28, Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and the western end of blue ridge Parkway.

jaehshim Awesome pic and it sounds like quite a trip! Once the factory opens back up, it will be another excuse to head back down

Audio Fan Thanks. Although we couldn't deviate too far due to time constraints, those are certainly on the list for the future. I'm always down for a group trip / meetup

Think it would be a cool video to follow the car around the 1st lap within and then outside through the garage door.

Ibiza Yeah, I think we messaged a while ago. Don't believe you'll be able to get the Typhoon H inside just because of size and noise (not to mention German regulations). The DJI Spark, although not nearly as nice of a drone (1808p, 2-axis gimbal, etc.) is extremely small and doesn't require satellite connection to fly. M2 Urotrash's (YouTube Channel) has some pretty sweet footage from his Spark.
Although that shot would be insane driving out, I don't think Welt would be too happy / pretty complicated maneuver. Best bet is to have someone follow you with a gimbal (like the Karma Grip) or attach several GoPros to the car. Look forward to hearing about what you choose and seeing the footage!

Thank's for the link, M2 Urotrash, produced great videos! Think I'll just stick with filming all the drunks at Oktoberfest instead

Amazing write-up, thanks for sharing. PCD FTW! Interesting they put you in X3s for the off-road, they put my group in X5s and I was wondering at the time if the X3 could do it. Now I know.
