Might as well start here with my first post hello to all! Awaiting shipment of Alpine White M4 in the middle of the Atlantic right now according to AIC Marine Traffic due to Port Hueneme 9.24.14. Like waiting for a birth of a child.
Anyway like most glad to see a performance center coming to CA. Fell in love with the Spartanburg PC in 04. With the purchase of 6 series came the BMW Experience 3 days of fun and performance driving for free all you needed was airfare BMW paid for the rest. Greenville Spartanburg one of the best kept secrets in America advise anybody to take the trip if at all possible, BMW assembly plant producing 1200 cars a day, performance center, and a lot of happy BMW employees that's for sure, never seen anything like it anywhere, especially from a non union workforce. Loved it so much there bought a second home in nearby Taylors SC.
I currently reside about 60 miles from the Thermal Performance Center here in CA, although going to be cool to have it nearby, IMO going to be hard to match Spartanburg. Yes upstate western SC can have some weather, but the harsh dry 100 - 115 summer days can really make it miserable for quite a few months during the year. Most of the area around Palm Springs, Indio, Thermal populates heavily during the cooler months from Northern Snowbirds coming to get away from the super cold months of winter. The population triples for about 5 months a year then dwindles to nothing. Just a little FYI on that for those planning to visit.
And yes, BMW of Palm Springs, a smaller store could definitely benefit from this little adventure.
