[G30 B58]

Well, that was a fail. Too tired right now to fix this.

Hey All,

Just got back from Performance Center Delivery after 1163 miles.

Ordered around Aug 30, 2021, delivered Jan. 10, 2022. Heavily optioned, missing DHP and rear heated seats, and Parking Assist Pro only because it was unavailable at the time we ordered.

I'll save all the words and give you mostly pics instead.

We did the X3/4 production tour but no pics are allowed. If you haven't been on a modern production floor, do not skip this opportunity.

Quick stop at the Zentrum.

Roads were empty, scenery was amazing.

Gatlinsburg was a ghost town.

Flame me if you will, but the road is too tight and doesn't flow. Fun? Sure.

Tapoco Lodge was closed. Continued on to the Great Smoky Mt. National Park:

The weather was amazing, crowds ..... there were none. No traffic. Views, magnificent.

Appalachian Trail. This was significant to me as wee live about 10 miles from the trail in PA.

We moved onto Asheville NC after 2 nights in Gatlinsburg. Lots of homeless roaming the streets. Next up was Elgin, NC, time stands still there. View of the car from our room.

A quick stop in Blacksburg for some Virginia Tech swag before heading to Mountain Lake Lodge in Pembroke VA. I had no idea this place xisted but it's where some of Dirty Dancing was filmed and is known as Kellerman's in the movie.

Mountain Lodge Road is epic.

It's been about 5 years since we've owned a BMW but so happy to be back in the family.

Home safe and sound.
