BMW Collection Day Thread

dutchm2 · 08-11-2022, 05:00 AM

All right! Let's see our collection day of our car(s)!

Mine very humble was back in July 2018 where i pick up my current M140i at the local dealer in The Hague in Netherlands (BMW Den Haag). That day I couldn't sleep with so much anxiously thoughts going on my mind and therefore only this shot. Car was bought throughout a BMW Premium Selection that means a not new car but a selected car by BMW and i can tell you that by the time i pick it up it had 17k on the clock and nowadays runs 104k. I'll probably keep this car and look in the coming times for an upgrade and obviously i plan to post the collection day with more pictures of that experience.

Here goes! Post yours

This is the first picture of my OG. The moment i went inside this place and i saw it and fall in love immediately. A few days later namely on the 13 October 2024 it was day to pick up and with all excitement i didn't took any pictures. Just wanted to drive it.

The car is a winner and I love your license plate! Is there a story behind how you were able to get that "777" plate?

Thank you!
The 777 was a coincidence actually! I will briefly tell you the story of it - So I was going to the local BMW dealer where i (still) live because my previous car - a E82 120i - was running out of tires and sometimes there's some good deals in BMW i had the need for winter tires so i was trying my lucky - you can rent tires for a few weeks/months - so that was my goal - so looking around the Premium (second hand) hall and I see this M140i there looking at me ...

I was like wow!!! Having a humble E82 120i and seeing that F20 looking at me - considering the time and circumstances my heart start pumping the moment Rogier (the sales guy) told me - do you want him? Of course that from going to buy spare tires to getting a F20 M140i was a not expecting situation but i end up taking it. The 777 came while we were discussing the details of collecting the car - it stands more digits in my license plate - You can follow my IG: @777m140i or @mmperformancecarclub

What about you? Do you've pictures of your collection day?

Great thread! Picked these two up almost 3 years ago. Now looking forward to picking up an X7 in about a month, and hopefully early next year an M3.

October 16, 2019 picked up this 2020 X5 40i in Ametrine Metallic after (at that time) a grueling 3 month wait due to all the individual options on it (ametrine, ivory merino, ash grain silver wood trim):

10 days later on October 26, 2019 picked up this 2020 m340i in Dravit Grey (surprisingly only a 2 month wait):

The M3 you're looking to pick up next year will be the G80?

Everyone knows the feelings you have on Pickup day.
My First new BMW M240i Vert 2020
X3 m40i pick up at performance center.
Pick up at PCD is an experience you should try in my opinion. Whole day is Very cool.
