Talking My 5 days Euro Delivery Experience and the visit to the M Studio. Lots of Pics!

Here are some pictures of my ED trip from 9/1 to 9/5. My newborn son is too young to travel for this trip. I was forced to do this trip by myself and left wife and son at home. It has turned out to be a nice get away from the busy work and family life ☺ . This is my first time going to Europe, and I was blown away by the culture, view, and the people over here in Munich. The German roads are indeed really smooth, and people really drive fast on the autobahn. I was passing by Passat, Golf, and even Hyundai with speed over 130 mph. Driving the M5 over there was a wonderful experience. The sound from the exhaust and gear changing was intoxicating. To me, the sound of this beast is perfect, and I don’t think I will need to get any after market exhaust. Gear changing was so crispy and fast in both manual and auto modes. The throttle response was unbelievable. I was amazed by the aggressiveness of the look of the car regardless how many thousands of pictures that I have seen prior. People on the street turned their heads to the M5. I wish I could stay few more days to enjoy the car more and to explore the city and the county more. I felt refreshing after this wonderful trip. Now, I am counting the calendar to wait for the arrival of my beast. Enjoy the pics guys.

*Day 1
Arrived to Munich, I went to the Marienplatz and BMW Welt for a preview of the place.



Saw couple late afternoon deliveries perhaps from the other forum memebrs




Went to the BMW Museum.






The famous Marineplatz

Finished the tour and headed out for real driving!




Decided to stop by a small town to take some pics






Oh ohh, look at who is behind me

This guy pulled me over for nothing. He kept asking me if I am the owner of this car. I asked him “do you think I steal the car?” He answered, “yes!” LOL



Back to the hotel.


*Day 4, the M5 launch event at the M studio!

























I left the event early to visit Porsche and Mercedes museums


Check this out


Arrived Porsche, time to eat. The menu is very creative













Now to Mercedes.


Greeting by this monster

Back to hotel and prepared for the flight next day noon time

Dropping the off the car at the airport drop off location

Good Bye Munich. I will come again next time!


Next time, will be wife’s turn for doing the European Delivery. I don’t think I won’t sell my beast for …. A long time. This car is indeed of the best sport sedan in the world now. Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures.
