Back from PCD. Detailed Experience Report. !!Must Read!!
Just came back from PCD this past weekend and I should say hands down that it was one of the best experiences I have had. A quick post does not do justice to say how well this program is so I put together an unbiased report on how the experience was for me. Read it at http://bmwf30.blog.com/the-pcd-experience/
A quick thanks to all the instructors at PCD and also Sam our advisor for making our day exciting and doing a good job with the delivery. Keep up the good work.

Great write up! Our X3 PCD dates is next Friday - 5 Oct. On our e-mail they said the plant was shut down from 9/24 through 10/5 for the tour. Was your delivery in that time frame? Hate to miss the tour. But would be happy if they made up for it with extended track time.
 Edit: just noticed you said this past weekend. So you missed the plant shutdown date. Congrats.

Looking forward to hopefully meeting you on Friday, Jonathan! My wife and I picking an X3. Any chance there will be extended track time since the factory tour is unavailable?

Wow, Jonathan... you weren't there when I was there last year... you're not going to be there for sswalters...
Seriously guys, has anyone actually met him... or is he sort of the South Carolina version of the yeti??

My PCD was in 2009 - so the experience is a bit old - but the only things we did after lunch were hot laps and the actual delivery. We went slow and were still out by ~2pm.

2 questions from your experience 1) was the car detailed (interior and exterior) or just washed and dried? 2) is the front plate bracket and fasteners provided in the trunk? Thanks

I have to write mine up, just have not had the chance with the holidays. They asked me if I wanted my fron tag on or off and I asked them to leave it on. The other tag was in the trunk. My car was no washed, but I got my date bumped up and they told me they would not have time to detail mine. (it was originally an ED) Hope that helps.

I don't think they will do anything about the front plate until you are there to provide directions. They don't want to drill the front facia and then have you object. So I believe their policy is to just wait until you are there at delivery and then do it then. They will have the tools available so it doesn't take long.

I agree! We have done it once before with my 335. Now that we are getting an X3, I'm really wanting to see the tour again since its more relevant.
