We shall wait with baited breath.

I'm not even sure what turns them on (the lights, not the wives). Is it unlocking the car? Locking it? Or both? Mine just kept turning on as I wiped the car down everytime I put my hand and the towel in the door handle area, so wasn't sure if it was only doing with one of those activities or both.

In my E90, unlocking the car with the key fob button does it.

You're gonna love it! Our PCD was on Aug 29. The only bummer was the factory tour that is normally part of the PCD experience is not available until next April. They'll give you a raincheck voucher, which we intend to use when we go back next year for an M driving course.

Can't wait to hear about your experience! Note: I don't recommend the sundae from the Marriott Giatu set menu...

I can't wait! Should be a blast, then heading to Fontana Lodge for a few nights to drive the Dragon.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll avoid it! Anything I should do or see while I'm up that way? I'm arriving early in the day on Wednesday, and dinner/check in isn't until that evening.

We didn't spend much time in the area, so I'm probably not the best person to ask for a good recommendation, but I can tell you what we did. Our flight arrived at GSP around 3pm, the Marriott sent a 750Li to pick us up and take us to the hotel. We checked in, looked around, then had the same car drive us to downtown Greenville. For the next couple of hours we bummed up and down the downtown shopping/eating district on Main St, and checked out Falls Park on the Reedy. We had the car take us back to the Marriott and enjoyed the PCD-provided dinner. By that time it was 9pm so we stayed at the hotel for the evening in anticipation of the full day to follow. The next day, we left the Performance Center and drove the backroads to Asheville for the night.

Before you go, you may want to check Tripadvisor.com for the top Greenville attractions. Once you arrive, talk to the car driver and concierge about activities that fit your interest. They can make it happen, and seem more eager to do so because you are with the PCD program.

Congratulations! That should be a great experience! I have not had the opportunity to take delivery of a new BMW at the Performance Center, but I did take the one day M school back in December of 2006. The M school was so much fun!
