Brown seats look a lot better in your pics than previous posts
and even those pictures really doesn't do it justice. I know its a matter of personal taste, but they really look great in person. and the contrast stitching on them shows really well.

Great look, and congratulations on the purchase!

What a way to pick up a new BMW. PCD is the best way to do it.

So just to clarify, with the PCD did they include track day for free? My salesman said they charge unless you're picking up an M5 or M6...

Thanks.

Thanks.
you get about two hours track time, two hours factory tour, two hours receiving your car, and lunch.

the track time consists of 4 things: obstacle course (driving around cones); ABS exercise (slamming on brakes); skid pad (to show stability control effect); then a hot lap with the instructors (un-freaking-believable!)

I don't know what your salesman is trying to accomplish but there were 8 people picking up their cars including me that day. No one had a M anything (other than the hot lap experience). I remember two x3's. 550. 7 series. A 6 series. AN x5 and 2 128i convertibles. All had the same experience I did and it was well described here by the previous post

There is no charge. We picked up our X3 2/7 and had a great time!

I followed up with him. Looks like he was referring to the full day performance driving course, not the track experience you were talking about.

Probably won't be able to do PCD anyway though -- California's a long way to drive the car back to!

Those of you with PCD delivery option, is there any way to avoid the $875 destination/handling fee?

Not that I know of. I would bet it costs them just as much to do a PCD as it does to deliver the car to a dealership.

Have your CA set it up for you when up buy. Word of caution. Since you are so close it could delay when you can get your car by a couple weeks since they can only do 8 performance deliveries a day. It was TOTALLY worth the extra week it delayed mine. Even my wife had a blast on the course spinning cars in 360's
Can you still fly out there on your own dime, do the PDC and then have them ship the car out? I'm in Cali and it sounds like a blast and maybe worth the plane fare out to SC...

i read on the pcd stuff they sent me before I went that if you do that then you have to pay the charge to send it to your home - so yes, you can, but the cost to ship is yours

Short answer yes, but you are responsible to pay shipping from Spartanburg to your destination. As for the other question regarding avoiding the destination charge posted in anothervquestion answer there is no. You still have to pay. My experience was worth the 875 much more than paying it anyway and picking it up at my dealer.
