My Ride: 2006 550i, Alpine White, Beige Ltr, Sport Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, Premium Sound, Active Steering, Comfort Access, Steptronic, Nav, Satellite Radio, Split Fold Rear Seats, V1
I am starting to look at an ED on a new 550 again. Thinking of driving to Rome and flying home from there. According to the BMW ED website my car would be driven back to Munich. Do they mean somebody will drive my car 
or do they load it on an auto carrier for transport back to Munich? Anyone have any experience with this? Website reads:
Italy

I did that exact ED last year with a buddy and his 650Ci. A 30ish gentleman from Harmes in Munich took the train down to Rome, picked up my buddy's car at our hotel and drove it back to Munich. There were no issues and it was much easier and quicker than my own ED drop-offs in Vienna and Nice.
btw, I believe that just after I did the Rome ED last year, BMW initiated a surcharge for the Italy pick-ups.

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
i did it from itaty as well, no problem. i remember the driver looked a bit like a surfer dude, but was very professional. i didn't care how fast he drove the car back to germany, it was fine when i picked it up again in the usa.
