Performance Center Delivery

Picking up 1M in Munich and planning to do a visit to the \'Ring. Then wondering about re-delivery at Performance Center.

I did this with 135i 2 years ago and since I\'m only 3 hrs away it\'s worth doing, but only if you get to drive an M down there!

Has anyone done a PCD of a 1M? What did you drive?

I havent done it, but plan to. Free hotel room, dinner, breakfast. Then pick up your car, get a thorough walk through of your car (if you do ED, you cant do this). Then its off to the track in a "similar vehicle". I read somewhere the school just got 1M - call them up to confirm. There may be some classroom stuff Im not sure. I also read you can go across the street and do some offroad track in one of thier SUV's. check bmwusa.com.

If you are only three hours away, I say 'why not?'. Even if its not 1M, its tracking THIER car......maybe an M3

Yes, two years ago we drove the brand new X5 diesels over to factory and then did 20 mins in them on the off road course.

The "track stuff" is ok, designed to help you learn your car better, but the skid pad and hot lap are a blast.

We do a TON of track stuff and instruct and all, but those lucky chumps at PC have the best. All day getting to slap around the M's. They get VERY good at it!

If 1M's are available, I'm there!

Awesome.

And report back with pics, please. Seems too good to be true - flogging a (BMW-owned) 1M around a track
