Friends of ours did that with a new Mercedes some years ago. The car
got vandalized at the US port of entry and it was a lot of time and
hassel to get it fixed. Perhaps now you could get it shipped in a
container and minimize the risk.

That’s sad. It’s a raw shame their car was mistreated like that .



BMW has a similar program to pick up your pre-ordered car in Europe.
They also have a program where you can take delivery at their
High Performance Driving school in South Carolina.

BMW offers a performance driving course for those who
have any of the "M" series vehicles. I bought the two M5's
I had from the local dealer's inventory but they both came
with a free performance driving course if I had wanted to
drive to SC and attend. I thought about doing it but ended
up dumping the M5 for the Porsche.

If you'd offerred, I'd have taken the M5 down and taken the driving course, just to break in the M5,
ya know.
