Final thoughts on this issue:

New car - European factory delivery - Smooth, no problems, each has a lttle different program, but all are very easily done.

New or used car/purchased by YOU in Europe - few extra steps, still no big deal. There are multiple agencies that will take care of all the required steps. Economical - NO!!!!!, but if you want that special car that you can't get here? very easily done.


As far as driving your car wide open on the autobahn?

A friend took me along for his ED of a Porsche. We did the factory tour, he was assigned a personal technician for the delivery, etc.

The technician told my friend to drive the car around the general area for the first 150-200 miles and bring it back. He also told him to open it for few minutes here and there. We came back with about 300 miles, the factory checked out the engine, did an analysis of the oil, and my friend was given a green light to go ahead and open the baby up. We sure dd.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
