How do you get those sweet action Ring pictures of you and your wife in the M3??

Are there professional photographers taking these photos and selling them after? If so, how do you contact these folks to take pics of your car on the Ring?

I really want some of these action shots on the Ring when I do my next Euro Delivery!

Great trip and cars!

Have to ask though - why the ED? What's the benefit of that, other than an excuse to drive your new car in Europe?

Well, figure it like this:

You really (REALLY) want an M3 for your daily commute to work.

Your wife really (REALLY) wants an M3 for her daily commute.

Neither of you want to drive a C4, Vet, C63, etc. instead of the M3. So you both end up with an M3. Haha.

Although that would never happen in my house hold because one of us would give way to buy a different car... but hey, if it works for them, let them enjoy it! They both get to drive a great car every day without compromises and without fighting over who gets to drive the M3 that day.

I'm actually planning on getting the M3 for my fiance as her daily car while I drive my Wrangler as my daily, just because of the different places where we work every day. Then I get to enjoy the M3 on nights/weekends when she's not using it.

Up to 7% discount on the car. You don't need to rent a car to get around. You get to explore europe in your very own brand new car for free basically (insurance and transportation are covered by BMW).
I think Lufthansa still offers buy 1 get one free airline tickets too.

It basically comes out to a free trip to Europe, or very close to it.

Congratulations! MT (X2!) for the win.

My wife and I are considering ED on an M3 next year, so I'm curious about your Ring experience. In your opinion, do you need to have significant track experience to be safe (assuming you know your limits)? I've had driving school experience (at BMW's Spartanburg center) but no track experience. Seems like it would be pretty hard to adhere to break-in (which I know doesn't matter to some) on the Ring - is this feasible while still driving fast enough to not be a danger?

Congrats OP! Love this thread, and of course the pics. My wife and I head to Munich in a month for my own M3 delivery.
