Performance Center Delivery

Just got back! What an amazing experience.
Took a big risk getting such a bold color, and it worked out perfectly. Toronto Red and Black interior have a nice contrast with the Competition PKG's black shadow line exterior trim.

We hit up the BMW Museum on the way out. A quick overnight stay at our beautiful hotel and the Tail of the Dragon first thing in the morning. Car was extremely composed on the tight turns of US 129. Trip was amazing, have to do it again.

If your on the fence about it, do yourself a favor and choose the PCD delivery option. Choosing the Performance center is a no brainer, you will have a blast.

Thank you, it’s a shame. You can do Welt delivery in Europe and take it out on the Autobahn though. Putting your car through its paces on the Autobahn is an amazing experience.

Were you given a X3M to drive during the track portion of the day? During each of my two past Performance Center deliveries I drove the same type of non-M vehicle I was picking up new at the end of the day, and I assume the same holds true for M vehicles, too?

They let you drive whatever it is that you are picking up. This holds true except for the off-road section as they make you switch vehicles then.

They only accommodate you and one guest unfortunately. You will have a big smile when you get yours delivered either way.

Does the guest get to do everything that the new owner does on the track etc or are they moreso just there to tag along?

Awesome! I've not heard any negative feedback about PDC deliveries so far. Seems pretty rad. Nice spec! Thanks for sharing!

They split time with the owner. I have seen some couples the husband does the driving for both parts of the session, others (like my wife) split time or die.
