Picked up Sparkling Bronze X3 at Performance Center

Today was the day we finally picked up our Sparkling Bronze 28i at the Performance Center. What a day! We arrived on the shuttle to a view of our car in the delivery bay for all to see.

The day was so full of activity that I didn't think to take pictures, but I got a couple at the beginning and end of the day. Special thanks to Donnie and Jonathan for making it a great day! If you have a chance, you need to take delivery of a car this way - its' a blast!

We're back home, so the X3 has joined the rest of the fleet. I cleaned it up, too - so here are a few more pics.

It was awesome - you'll love it! We had a very nice dinner at the Marriott the night before delivery, and the big day started with a 7:45 shuttle from the hotel to the Center. It was fun doing laps in an X5, and skid pad is always a hoot. The highlight was the hot laps in an M5 - Donnie Isley was our driver - what a rush!

The delivery session with Jonathan Stribble was great, too. He seemed so familiar to me, and I didn't realize until after we left that he's the guy on the feature videos on the BMW NA site.

The off road course was great at showing the capabilities of X drive, and the plant tour was very informative.

By the way, the food in the Performance Center cafeteria would do any cruise ship proud.

We didn't finish until about 3:20 - and we enjoyed every minute. Everyone should do this at least once in their life.
