You can pick up a US spec and have it redelivered to you at the dealer after driving it around in the EU. Check out the rest of our Euro Delivery info, it is a great program!

What specifically are your reasons for a Euro-Spec?

As far as the Performance Center Delivery it is a nice thing but you will have to drive your car from SC home and there is no discount on the car. The PC is a great way to use a similar car on the track in a safe and controlled environment.

Tripadvisor.com</p> <p>Then there is Priceline.com, you can bid on your room via city but not specific hotels. I can tell you that for Munich they are all great. I utilize biddingfortravel.com as my resource for Priceline, that forum has a lot of info and basically tells you what hotel you will end up with. I hope that helps. BMW also has an agreement with the King's Hotel (or they did) for discounts and from what I have heard it is a clean and cozy location. Depending on where in France you are heading you may even want to stop along the way. Rick Steve's travel guides are priceless!</p> John,
