Just to give you an idea guys how fast this car is going when Ryan and I were there we were on the same track and we were in the x5M and x6M and the fastest we could get those cars up to was 140 145 so this car is getting to 160 which is insane!

Monte Carlo Blue, it's a standard option on the M5 (and X5 M for that matter). Personally I wish that Tanzanite Blue were available for it (it's only available on the 6 Series) because I think Monte Carlo is a bit loud for a car that large and luxurious (would be great on an M3 though!), whereas Tanzanite is a darker, deeper blue in darker lighting so it's more refined and stately, but it has this gorgeous bright undertone in direct light -- perfect match for the refined/beast dichotomy of the M5 IMHO: http://www.6post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=495046.

I didnt realize the e60 M5 was SMG - was it the same as the SMG II in the e46?
I had thought DCT was going in the e60 and e 90/92. |

Ring-Taxi was Awesome! Cannot believe what a beastly sophisticated machine this is No one came even close to following us! Didn't take inboard video since I wanted to live every moment as good as possible sitting in front so maybe when I reride it someday sitting in the back We brought up the X5M and it turns out our driver was actually one of the minds behind/creators of the X5M, calling it "his baby". After this he did his best to show us the differences seeing we luckily had a very sunny day
Only downside: It's over way too soon! Girl at the pavillion said "see ya in 10". I doubt we made 9 lol |

Hehe, I tried my best
If you ever happen to be in the neighbourhood of the ring but have not been able to secure a ticket beforehand, don't sweat it. They calculate 15 minutes per 8-9ish minute ride. We were there at 11:45 am and they were so ahead of schedule that they were able to squeeze in some people that bought their ticket there at the pavilion just minutes before leaving for the ride. Bunch of cool people running it |

Do Euro delivery and then PCD. You can do both of course. ED is simply an amazing experience. I wanted my car to badly to wait to do PCD after my Euro delivery but that's because I went to BMW CCA Oktoberfest. I agree that the 6 weeks shipping was a bit of a bummer but I had 6 weeks to think about how much fun I had at the welt, the autobahn, touring Europe, the culture etc. I am sure that PCD is fun but it can't touch ED, it's a great option though if you can't take a week to go to europe. |

Now, of course, a very good % of people simply won't be able to do Euro Delivery-- that's just a fact of life-- but for those who can swing it, it blows PCD away, one really has nothing to do with the other. Move mountains, blow through savings (and frequent flier miles)-- do what you have to-- DO Euro Delivery if you can. And, Euro Delivery is very easy to arrange and enjoy-- I was a bit intimidated by the process, but it was a total piece of cake. Not to mention a very nice savings on a loaded M3 Cabrio (although that last reason is definitely -not- a primary reason to do it-- too many trade-offs (big wait, angst during shipment, etc.) But your fist advice is even better; do both!

What the OP did is closer to the 1 day M School. It samples the ///M models in track oriented exercises. Whereas the Performance Center Delivery for most models is breaking, cornering, & skid pad exercises, followed by a good bit of time on an autocross course with a car just like you purchased. They then spend time with a factory tour, and the delivery of your car with a lot of time learning it. Both get you rides with the instructors in the E60 hot laps like above. The big straight course is reserved for the factory testing (but "special guests" can get rides apparently).
The e60 M5 and e62/e63 M6 owners got a full day on track, whether or not a PCD, almost an M School. I assume the F10 will be the same.

If you don't get a PCD, you can get a BMW 101 experience. It mimics the PCD, including the hotel stay and all but you just don't pick up your car there. Charlotte is close enough, I've gotten the BMW 101 thrown in with a purchase off the dealer's lot. Did that with a Z4 and will soon do it with the 335is. But I want to wait for the fleet of F10 M5s to arrive

From what I was told; the F10/F12 M5/M6 cars will arrive mid/end of May. This is logical for after the Lap of America race.
