Im doing Euro Delivery in 3 weeks (Sept 19th is my pick up date) and looking so forward to it. I jsut happen to be going over Octoberfest!!! so that should be a blast.

 

sounds fun. have you been hanging out on European Delivery forum of bimmerfest? its the best resource for ED.

where you plan to visit while there?

 

No I have been haning out more on E90post.com .....

Im taking my GF with me and rooms where limited do to Octoberfest .... so we are hanging out in Munich the first 2 days ... then driving to Prauge and going to spend 3 days there and then back to Munich for a day and then heading home. Im excited to go shoot photography and just do some basic tourist stuff.

 

E90post.com has a dedicated european delivery forum? i found european delivery sub-forum on bimmerfest to be the ultimate in ED knowledge and planning.

anyways, have fun and enjoy the trip. did you get european dvd nav?

 

About to order the DVD this week

 

cool. you'll need it. i can't imagine what i would do without nav.

dont forget to bring a couple of microfiber towels for things like cleaning front windshield, etc.

 

I'm reading it.... lots of fun to be had... let's have a "6speed accompanying Ashock's family's ED trip."

 

Bimmerfest is def the best resource for ED. I'm ready to do my second if you guys wanna do a group ED!

 

i been suggesting 6spd group ED trip for a while now. we all should plan to get new cars in summer of 2008: porsche, bmw, mbz, maser, etc. and meet up somewhere in europe for a week or two of driving. imagine, 10-20 new cars -- ultimate road trip.

 

Yea im sure without it I would get lost like crazy


Question ... I have heard mixed answers from different people ... but I ended up buying my car through a dealership in Chicago ... I live in Vegas .... The dealer told me the car has to be shipped to them first and then I can fly in and pick it up or arrange for a freight company to pick it up there and truck it to me here in Vegas. I was talking to some other people and they told me I should be able to have it shipped to a dealership here in Vegas even thou I didnt order it from them. Which is right? If I could have it sent directly to a Vegas dealership it would save me some $$$$

 

dont know the answer. are you getting conflicted answers from ED forum on bimmerfest? have you tried calling BMW North America and getting an answer directly from them? also, try calling ED department of BMW NA with the same question (ED department is very small with just a couple of people there who are very knowledgeable)

 

Good idea ... I'll call BMW NA in the morning and ask them.

 

You just have to pay for the airfare to Germany, right?

 

yes. you get 2-for-1 deal with lufthansa though, but their fare restrictions are pretty weird. and if you flying alone, you just go and get a regular ticket.
