Alarm is set to 5:30 but we awake at 5:23.

It’s freezing and dark outside.

We have a quick breakfast and hurry to the Olympiaturm subway stop.

“You are here for the European Delivery, sire? Let me escort you to the Premium Lounge.”

Thus we were greeted at 7:50 when we stepped inside the BMW Welt.

The card that has your name on it:

We checked in and went over car documents

then

We had an interactive virtual tour of the car and a computer test drive

that allowed us to see some car options in action (“the blind nanny” DTC).

it was the only time Tyson would let me touch his car, haha.

then...

the actual delivery!

There it was, brand spanking new, with a light shining on it.

Seeing it from the second story, walking down the stairs to it...it was a Leo&Kate moment.

After taking a few pictures, Tyson got behind the wheel and did a victory lap around the area and then down the belt into the street.

We dropped the car with a valet and went to the lounge.

The atmosphere in the lounge was so laid back. Food choices were very impressive. And so was the view.

We spend an hour relaxing and then went on to take a factory tour.

Afterwards – a celebratory dinner at our favorite Do&Co.

Tyson had fish&chips and I – white tomato soup and wasabi tuna.

Then...the first drive. Not the most enjoyable – we had to fight rush hour traffic and crowds of people. Grrrr!! I don’t know how we would have done it without the Navigation system.
