Why would you fill the tank before drop off? They drain as much gas when they ship your car to reduce the laden weight for cross Atlantic shipping.

My car arrived at the dealer with very little gas. Dealer pumped me a new full tank at redelivery.

I never had gas drained from my BMWs (done 7 EDs)
Always left them with a full tank at Loginout

T-mobile has free international roaming which is great. But when I looked deeper into it, it's 2G / Edge speed limited. So you maybe on a LTE / 4G network but you will get capped on the speed. That's pretty crappy - hard to FaceTime calls on that. This information is from scouring the web. Anyone has self experience information on this?

The Wifi in Welt was great. I did FaceTime from there with no problem.

One thing that struck out to me was - Welt was much smaller than the pictures make it seem. The 1st floor with display cars was tiny.

Also, if anyone is interested, ask your delivery specialist about visiting the M Studio. It's a little bit outside of Munich but apparently it's worth the visit.

Dude wish I had the car on a clear day. I was so focused on driving and enjoying the car that I didn't even try to take proper pics of the car. My ED was at 2.30 and I wanted to go to Glossglockner alpine road which is a solid 2-3 hours away with traffic.

You should just come over and check it out in person once she comes over. I will try to post proper pics.
