I'm glad there is no 12 hour rule here.
Picked up my 550i on October 6 with my wife and 15 year old daughter and returned it to Munich on October 18. Car was even better than I expected...although my expectations were very high! Expect re-delivery in another 10 days.
We spent four days in Bavaria, two in Salzburg, three in Lucerne, two days in Lindau, and two days in Montbaur. Pictures show car at pick up center (after spending night on plane), Grossglockner road, view from Eagles nest, Salzburg and Lucerne.
Unexpected high points of car: HUD and active cruise control. I could not anticipate how much I would enjoy these features. Also did not expect such strong acceleration from 100+ mph when entering passing lane on Autobahn. High marks on the navigation system as well with thanks to Beewang for loan of navi DVD. Don't do an ED without Navi!!!
Top speed on Autobahn: 142 mph...got nervous passing cars and trucks at high speed so I backed off before reaching speed limiter. Was surprised my wife and daughter were always comfortable with speeds up to 125 mph.
Highly recommend ED for anyone who may be sitting on the fence. We are considering another ED this summer with a drop off at Heathrow.
Many, many thanks to all Bimmerfest members who gave so much information on this process. I was very surprised that all questions were so quickly and accurately answered. Made an otherwise complicated trip very straightforward.
