While I did take plenty of photos in the museum, photos in the factory were strictly prohibited. I really wish I could have captured how relaxed the factory was.

While I was disappointed that I wouldnt be able to hit the infamous Stelvio, I felt that given the amount of driving I was doing each day, hitting more than two passes would have been exhausting. In hindsight, I'm glad I was unable to as now there are passes to explore for my future trips! Although, hitting 250 was exhilirating, I found that most of the time I was hovering around the 170km/h - 200km/h speed range on the autobahn. It was hard to find good unrestricted strips to really push it. Thanks for sharing your trip experience

Unfortunately, I don't think my M2C will arrive in time for M Festival, but I do plan on attending with my "M"-sport X1

Your car is beautiful though, I'm considering an M2C as a second 'fun' weekend type ride.

Congrats! Looks like enjoyed every ounce of the experience
Never did ED, but plan to one day for sure. Have been on Green Hell, so it would be more for the travel experience for us. Maybe if I can convince the fiancé to get an X2 over her beloved Tiguan we can make this happen for 2020 Enjoy the car, put that sunroof open and never look back! D

Congratulations and fantastic European delivery post! It's always so much fun to relive the experience through others.
I assume you were going "commando" on the Ring, or were you able to find an insurance option?

DARKMTTR What are you going to do for a front plate? Is the temp Euro one that's on there for ED drilled in?
Also, did you get to keep the Euro plate?

Fantastic post! I love Germany , Munich, and the area. I visited the Welt, and museum. Saw people getting their euro delivery and thought I'd love to do this and drive the ring. Enjoy her!
