Great video and report. One thing worth mentioning though, IMHO. Having recently done performance center delivery (after a Euro delivery) of an M3 Cabrio, I think it's important to point out to those who say that "now I want to do performance center delivery!" that the standard performance center delivery is -not- the same as what you're reporting/showing.
It's very well worth it (although, again IMHO, nowhere even approaching the fun of Euro delivery (and I did mine in winter-- not always ideal)-- but it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience) and it's a great intro to your car, but the actual track time is quite limited compared to my read of what's described in the OP here.
Not that I would think it reasonable to expect M-specialist training to not be much more extensive than a regular delivery at performance center-- just don't want folks to expect far more than they get..
Again, should you do PCD? YES! But if I had it to do all over again, I'd do regular delivery and then take a full day M-school at performance center to get some real time behind the wheel. YMMV!
