M5 Drop off appointment
This is a question for those doing ED. Did any of you make any appointment well in advance for the drop off? I am dropping off my car in Nice mid-October and this afternoon I wrote an email (in French) and hopefully receive a response soon. I did this just to make sure that the date I chose for the drop off will be fine; if not I would still have time to make changes to my itenerary. I just don't want any surprises.

I dropped in Nice. Made the appointment over email in English with some French. Got a response...and was 1hr early for my appt. No issues what so ever. All also add they were very good there about responding to a few emails that I sent them after I dropped the car off.

They absolutely spoke English, quite well in fact. Really nice people at the office. I was a bit worried but that was unfounded. I do find while in Europe, especially France, that trying to use the local language (hello, please, thank you, goodbye) goes a LONG way. Even over email. I can also back the fact that someone else posted either here or one of the other forums that the volume of BMWs going through Nice is on the rise, and as such they have at least one, if not two truck per week heading out. I dropped off on 9/17, and I'm scheduled to be on a ship leaving tonight. Took less than a week to get to Bremerhaven...so I am guessing no intermediary stops. At least 8 bimmers were there when I dropped.

It's always best to make an appointment just in case it is a day when they are going to be overloaded. However I have never heard of them ever turning anyone away.
I actually went in and did my paperwork 2 days before my drop off to ensure that it was no hassle when I dropped the car off and caught my flight. The day I went in was one day ahead of my reservation. I did email them though and they said come on in.

I think the Munich airport location is always staffed and is pretty flexible. I just showed up and it was no problem--- but reservation would have been better (I got caught up on the Lufthansa mess so had no chance to make reservation).
I think other locations might not be staffed all the time, because they stressed the necessity of making a reservation. |

when i showed up early for munich airport dropoff, they were not there. i showed up 30 minutes early and they were gone. i think if they have no appointments, they may take off for an errand or something. they were back for my appt time though. i had a reservation and would not do it without one for fear of missing a flight. |
