Margaret and I have now lived in USA for 30 years and to celebrate we’ve just completed a road trip up the east coast visiting both where we lived when we first emigrated and places we went to soon after that event … our northern most point was Lubek in Maine, where we crossed over to Canada (Campobello Island) for a few hours.
While there will be a lot of visit posts on M&I, here are X6-themed photos (including getting a much needed wash again when we returned after 4,662 miles, $800 gas at just about 30mpg for the whole trip!)
It’s already more than a year since I bought my X6 and even though it’s only driven about 3,700 miles, it’s time for an oil change. I booked it in at Fields BMW South Orlando because I’m still unhappy with the Winter Park location. In hindsight I should not have gone to the Winter Park location when I ordered this car – the only reason that I did was because their website claimed to have a vehicle in stock, and that wasn’t true anyway!
On the other hand, while service at the South Orlando location seems to be better, it was a pretty desolate place to hang out while I waited – there’s only maybe 6 display vehicles there, not a single salesman spoke to me when I looked at the display vehicles (they could not have known that I wasn’t a buyer) … there was happily made-to-order food service at lunchtime (I got a meatball sub). Overall I was at the dealership for about 1-1/2 hours, and headed home with a clean X6 with new oil.
I got this video inspection sent to me, which is quite amusing – the car is just a year old, driven hardly any miles, and unsurprisingly the tires are still perfect, the brakes are unused, and everything looks good!
