1M ED Brethren
Thought this was pretty funny...
Tuesday morning at the Welt had no less than 3 concurrent deliveries of US-bound VO 1Ms, 2 of which are bound for the DFW area (the other to the Boston area). That's mine on the left, and fermat1313's in the center. Coincidentally, look what we found in the parking lot at Dachau the following afternoon. Same 3, this time mine's on the right... |

That's pretty amazing that all three of you ended up at the same place to start out your ED drive. It rare to see three 1M's together anywhere.

Awesome! Three VOs must really be a rare sight, even around BMW Welt! Three VOs taking simultaneous delivery? Well that is probably a first.
I have a somewhat similar but less extreme story. I flew into Munich Thursday morning (which I guess is still today in the US) and took delivery of my VO 1M at the Welt in the afternoon. On the plane ride I overheard the guy behind me say something about his "European Delivery paperwork." It turns out that he was also from the DC area and he was also taking delivery of a 1M (shoutout to David - post up if you read this)! At the time I found it very serendipitous that two people taking delivery of 1Ms from the same area would be seated next to each other on the plane to Munich, but I think your story takes the cake! There seem to be a lot of EDs going on now as the last of the US bound 1Ms finish production. |

Crazy! I think the VO going to the Boston area is going to Tulley. They told me they had a VO 1M order doing ED ~ 3 weeks after me.
On 9/23, when I did my ED at ~ 5pm CET, there was another VO 1M being delivered for a Hannover based customer.

When I did my ED on Sept. 22 I was also one of 3 VO 1Ms. However we were not all deck at the same time. I was chatting with the host in the museum. He said that there had been a large number of VO 1Ms going to the USA at that time. It was ridiculous how many people wanted to talk to me and were taking pictures of the car.
In the Hilton Prague, the garage attendant was falling all over himself despite the fact that there were several more expensive exotics there at the same time. He actually applauded when I started up the car! LOL |
