Performance Center Delivery experience (3/24)

formerE36M3/4/5 · 03-29-2024, 08:21 AM

I just got home from PCD on my 2024 X5 xdrive40i last night. Short version, wonderful experience! Only negative of the entire trip was a couple of flight delays getting out of Atlanta. Grace from Hotel Hartness arranged the limo pickup (Audi Q5, very clean and professional by GVL Limousine Service), the Hotel Hartness was fantastic (only wished it wasn’t raining so I could walk around the property!), not your typical hotel! Morning limo pickup (again GVL in a sparkling clean Surburban) right outside the front door and when they said they would be there. About a 15-20 minute drive to the Center.

I’ll update with more details later but I’ll say this now, if you want to break your x5 in right take a drive on (SR ?) 276, you’ll get a chance to toss it around in some sharp corners and break that engine in the right way! I took a drive up to Sylva, NC to see my mother and sister and didn’t want to do it via the interstate so I went 276 both up and back before jumping on I-26 heading home. Excellent decision I think. More later.

Interesting side note, when I was shopping for an X5 the 3 dealerships within 100 miles of me only had 2 cars with trailer hitches and both were not in my colors, none of the rest had hitches. Of the 5 cars being delivered the day I picked mine up all 5 ordered with trailer hitches!

Beautiful spec buddy! Love the combo and interior color. Good to hear on the PCD experience being awesome as well!

Congrats and nice color choices (same as mine).

Interesting aside on the deliveries w/ trailer hitch data... pretty much why I had to order mine as well.

Looking forward to hearing more.
