My ED 7/28

I finally got around to wrapping up everything from my trip. Overall, the ED experience was way better than I expected. My trip was from 7/26 to 8/1 with the pickup on 7/28.

Brief Summary
The car is amazing. This is my first M car but I have had an E90 and an F32 previously. I was very happy with how comfortable the car was for the long journeys. I spent 6.5 hours driving the first day alone and at least 3 hours every other day. The car was very smooth on the autobahn and you do not even realize how fast you are going sometimes.

I drove through Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France and finally back to Germany for drop off during my 5 day trip. Out of all the places I went, France was the nicest.

I installed a GPS tracker in the car so I could save my journey (link below). I dropped the car off on 8/1 and was hoping it would make it to the 8/5 boat, but unfortunately when I traced my car on 8/4, it was still at the Loginout location. On 8/5 I saw it was en route to the port but it was to late, the boat had already left. It is scheduled to be on the Toledo which departs on 8/21 and arrives in Brunswick on 9/8. I am hoping it gets to me by the week of 9/15 as I am on vacation the following week.

If anyone has any questions on what I did, where I stayed, which roads I took, etc, i am more than happy to answer them.

Congrats. Mine is on Toledo as well. I dropped off on 8/7. Strange that you did not make 8/14 K-Line ship.

Pretty cool! Wonder if customs will notice/seize the tracker. Good test to see how crazy they are checking the vehicles haha

It is pretty well hidden honestly. If they find it, that means they are taking down the liners in the trunk lol.

EDIT: I also got the insurance package on the tracker for this very reason.
