I waited until winter was over to order my car. I could've bought a car in November 06 but waited until May 07 to get my car because I didn't want to go there in the winter.

nope...all that plannin is up to you or your travel agent...

all hotel, travel (w/ exception of companion ticket possibly), food (w/ exception of free meal at delivery center [are they still doing this?]), fuel, shopping, etc. is up to you. BMW just gives you the discount on the car and perhaps a free factory tour if you request one...

It's an excuse to go to Europe. The memories and experience are really priceless. Heck, I proposed there.

Its an awesome trip!

I think you still get the breakfast and coffee (last time i got some sausage and Latte Macciato) when you're waiting the representative to pull up the paperwork...

Yup...Factory Tour is a MUST!!!

+1 I wholeheartdly agree that the price savings are at the bottom of "why I did ED" list. It was a nice incentive, but if I wereto buy an M car (where you essentially don't get any discount) I would still ED it

I've never found Arabic/Persian food I REALLY liked actually. I thought Darya (sp) was good the first time I had it (the one by SCP). The next time it was good but not as good. Kabobs were a little dry !



That makes CA > NY.



Yeah that's it.

Nobu NYC > Nobu vegas, but not really > than Matsuhisa in LA... i havent tried malibu Nobu, but i *heard* NYC's is better

As did I...the whole winter tire requirements were also a big headache...so I wanted to be there not having to worry about snow on the ground.

I stayed at the Marriott in Munich last time...and found "Premium Pound Coupon" on ebay....saved 100 GBP (convert to Euro) when we check out....so around 200 USD saved on accomdation...

The priceline rates were crazy cheap when you bid for your own room. I think I paid like $95/night to stay at the Munich Marriott North.

You can see what people bid for in various diff cities. I paid like low 100s for our hotel in SF using this site. I think the normal room rate would've been $270/night.
