cmk227 · Fri, Oct-15-2010, 12:12:21 AM

Hey guys.

The day has finally come... Picking up my baby on Monday so going a couple days earlier to enjoy a bit of the city before getting on the road in the new car.

Trip looks like this.

Dallas - Frankfurt
Frankfurt - Munich (Driving in a Prius, reminded me of the frank video

)
Pick up M.

Munich - Salzburg, Austria
Salzburg - Fussen, Germany (Castle seeing)
Fussen - Zurich
Zurich - Milan (Cloth shopping, maybe a suit or so)
Milan - Verona (Little love making)

Verona - Tuscany countryside

Tuscany - Pisa
Pisa back to Basel, Switzerland
Basel - Frankfurt
Heading home.

Will try and post pictures in Nov when I return.,

Just checked the weather. I am screwed!

No sense in complaining.

You never know, generally this is the rainy and gloomy time in Europe. I am sure a new M3 can change some of that

Have fun and be safe. Be sure to take many pics!

It suppose to rain the day i pick up the car., I was hoping to get a clean pic before it got all dirty.

The wife is excited, the funny part is that she was pushing for me to buy a Prius at the beganning. I just had to show her the Frank video.

a bit off topic, but where can i find pricing on euro delivery and where do these sell relative to ed invoice/msrp? have a great trip, i'm looking for a used e90 but maybe ed is worth considering if the savings are big enough.

Normal pricing is on website and it was around $50k for e e90 Ed and invoice is $45k I think. My e92 was $49995 invoice for Ed plus invoice on all options plus dealer pricing.

Hello to you all. I am a first time poster, new to this forum.
I am also going to Munich tomorrow, Monday the 18th for Euro delivery. 2011 M3 fully loaded. White exterior, carbon roof with 2 tone interior with mostly black with red accents.
Currently drives an Aston Martin Vantage V8, 2007. With just 10k miles on my Aston, I have already replaced its clutch, 2 front tires and one oil change for 1,200 usd which made me cry and wanting a more affordable, fun to drive everyday but also respectable track day car.
Not to mention that M3 has been on my list for a while but I've never gotten to it until now.
Pick up is 21st and will be driving it HARD on autobahn for 8 days with a track buddy of mine who is a Porsche lover.
I know the weather is going to suck but it won't make me sing blues when I can drive an M3 on autobahn!
To the dude who started this thread, enjoy your stay in Germany and if you see 2 geeks driving a white M3 on autobahn en route to Stuttgart, say hello.

PS- My buddy and I have driven in Germany before and I must say that the road is much smoother than here in US. But be careful with your summer tires, if it snows, we are required to have winter tires on. (approx. 450 euros to rent)
