Just stuck now trying to figure out if it's safe to remove the (IMO ugly) xDrive35i side door badges and rear X1 badge. The check in specialist said they can't due to insurance in case of scratching and others on here are saying there are potential customs problems as well..

Hell though, Munich and Germany are amazing! I flew into Hamburg and took an ICE down for fun and it was beautiful and enjoyable. I'm sold.

Re: 12 hour compliance

After three days of driving here, I can't imagine not doing ED every time. The alpenstrasse is amazing on its own let alone all the mountain roads that are 80kph and would be considered 30 mph in the US.

+1 Done it twice now, and we'll do it again the next time we need a car. It's the ONLY way to buy a car. Have a great trip!
