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

Great choice!! My favorite color too. Doesn't the United States seems like a third world country compared to Germany?
Needless to say that you have a good eye and your composition reflects that. Clear example that you don't need a $5000 camera to achieve great photography. Thank you for sharing and welcome to the M Family.

only 435 miles?!?!?

SlammedR8 · 09-12-2012, 11:45 AM

Great pics!

The M5 looks awful with the 19's in my opinion.

20s are a must...thank god Canada only gets the 20s...no options as far as I see to get the 19s.

That's some eye candy right there. Thanks for sharing!

M5/5 series look stunning. What a gigantic upgrade from previous generation

M3 Piotr · 09-12-2012, 03:26 PM

Congratulations. Nicely written and documented BMW European Delivery experience. Sometimes I wish I did the BMW Welt Delivery, purchased 5 BMWs through US military sales in Germany in last 3 years, but never thought of taking delivery there while being stationed here. Your pictures make me want to do it next time.

However, as far as Polizei goes, they are very direct. I like that. They don't beat around the bushes. One night I got pulled over by an unmarked F10 528i with two undercover cops. First thing they asked me if the car belongs to me and do I have papers for the car. LOL.....

badazzm · 09-12-2012, 04:09 PM

Great journey man and congrats! Do u work by yahoo? If yes, I was the red m3 couple of weeks ago when we were driving on san tomas down to campbell.

rje · 09-12-2012, 04:55 PM

Curious how they attached the front European plates on your car, is it just the plate or was there something holding it and screwed right to the bumper?

renaissance · 09-12-2012, 05:19 PM

Nice car and those photo are great!

I could read these European delivery threads all day long.

I am European (just live in Texas) and wonder where you came up with the statement that the USA seems like a third world country compared to Germany?

auggiem3 · 09-12-2012, 05:43 PM

In the picture below the six grand coupe the interior shot shows a different m logo on the bottom of the steering wheel - is that an interior shot of the six grand coupe?

Really like the m badge there - looks more refined than the late 80's/early 90's rim sticker that they affix to the stearing wheel in current release m models.

Thank you

Surprisingly, I didn't use any software. All built-in camera photos.
