I just explained that I thought where I live is too congested for a real test drive. Good Lord, I am not you. I asked for a reason.

That's a bit of a production for a test drive, which might result in a conclusion that it's not the car you want anyway. After test-driving at any dealership, you can also pick up a BMW at their factory in S. Carolina, too, receiving a factory tour, time on the racetrack or on their off-road course in a vehicle like the one you're picking up, a night in a hotel, a couple of meals, and an hour with a product specialist which will help you configure and personalize all your new car's settings.

No experience with the Mercedes dealership but we made the drive to Chantilly Auto Park (with numerous dealerships) because that area has less traffic for better test drives.

Anyone have a fave in the area? We're in Arlington but that dealership is in the middle of a very congested area.
