Delivery of my X6 at the BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, SC

So I finally picked up my X6 (2011 xDrive 35i)!

Overall, I had a great time in Spartanburg. The X5/X6 manufacturing plant is incredible (they don't let you take any pictures though ) and all the people I encountered over the course of my stay were very nice.

So far the car is awesome and I love the color combo. Break-in is almost done thanks to the 800+ mile trip back to NY.

Also, if any of you are considering a PCD, I can highly recommend my Client Advisor, Kevin Mellett, at Passport BMW in MD (240-695-5580). He was great throughout the entire ordering process and the pricing was VERY aggressive. If you give him a call, just say that Alex with the X6 referred you.

Here are some pictures of the car and the Performance Center Delivery ...

Arriving at the Marriott in Spartanburg ...



The menu at the restaurant in the Marriott ...






Getting some classroom instruction from Donnie before the driving exercises. ...



The X6M I got to play with for the morning ...



Driving the X6M on one of the small road courses ...



My X6 in the lobby of the Performance Center ...



315's at the rear! ...



An X5 on the off-road course ... this was really fun!



The BMW Museum ... 3.0 CSL! ...















The X6 in front of the BMW X5/X6 manufacturing plant ...

Nice ride. I had the same instructor.

Did he take you for a hot lop in the M5? That was the highlight of my PCD.

Thanks again for the comments, guys!

Queenskid24, it took around 6 weeks I think, but the PC couldn't schedule me for a PCD that fit my schedule until 8/5 ... so it was a little over 8 weeks until I got my car. What color combo did you get?


And here are some pictures my friend took with his DSLR camera ... I am not a photography expert but I think they came out really good ...
