South Carolina Performance Center Delivery

G30M550i · 07-12-2022, 03:52 PM

- How many here have done the South Carolina Performance Center delivery?
- Would you recommend this method of delivery?

I looks like a great time and I'm contemplating doing delivery of my 2023 M550i there (assuming the car is ready before late fall). Back when I owned my Cadillac ATS-V my wife and I did the 3-day racing school at the Spring Mountain Motor Resort in Pahrump, NV (about an hour outside of Vegas) and it was an absolute blast!

I have not done it, but a coworker did with his M430i and he enjoyed it immensely.

In his case, he ordered through a broker, so to pick up the car would have required a plane flight and multiple day drive home. We are in NC, so the SC drive is only about 4 hours.

I did the 2 day advanced Corvette thing at SM a few years ago, and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, although Pahrump is a dump. Hey, that rhymes! LOL

I've also done the "M day" event in both SC and CA and highly recommend those as well.

The best is to take your own car on the track, of course, but there's something to be said for driving the crap out of someone else's car, and especially when they encourage you do do so!

Did it last August when I picked up my X3MC and highly recommend it. That being said,I live 3hrs from Spartanburg so it was a no-brainer lol.

Was a total blast and look forward to doing it when I take delivery of my next BMW. I haven't heard any negative things from anyone who has taken delivery at the PC.

100% RECOMMEND IT.

Did ED in 2015 and while it's nowhere near the same, we did PCD in January 2022 and it was awesome.

Anyone can go to a dealer and get a new car, PCD is just another level. Plus the road trip home ...... endless possibilities.

If it works for your schedule then do it. You won't regret it. It's not a driving school focused experience but something you'll remember.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to do the performance delivery this time, but I’m thinking of getting my wife a 2023/24 M340i and we’ll do it then.
