Not to mention the ED experience.
I can hardly wait to do my first ED for my new F30 - just wish they'd hurry up and let me order it!

Nicely said. If it were purely financial you'd have to not factor in the value of your time to make it make sense. A cheap summer flight on Lufthansa and a really brief stay in Munich and you could still end up well ahead, but it would be missing the point.
I worked in Frankfurt for five years and have friends that I could drop in on while on ED and also would likely drive through Belgium, send home some Westvleteren and go see Normandy before dropping the car off and catching a cheap flight to London to see friends there before heading home.
