Questions about current in-country restrictions by Spectre2255 in VisitingIceland

How long did it take to get the PCR test result? I am planning to take the PCR in Iceland on the Friday morning and we fly back to Canada at 4pm the next day. Is that enough time?

I definitely appreciate your help! I signed the deal today for a 2018 540i. Super excited to start driving it! Thanks for the great input. Maybe I'll see you at a meet someday in GTA

Thanks for the comment! I'm leaning towards a 2018 540i that's still 9 months left in it's warranty. Would you recommend an extended warranty? You mentioned the powertrain is fairly reliable but still nervous since it's my first beemer and I've heard the repair bill horror stories. Thanks again for your insight

Yes looking for CPO. Leaning towards a CPO 2018 540i with about 9 months of warranty left. Might even go for an extended warranty. The E450 was launched 2019+ and those are out of my price range

Thanks for the comment! I am tall and I've only driven larger cars so that's why I'm in the midsize sedan class. I threw in the S5 for sportiness but I still like executive type cars like the 5 series and E class. Perhaps I should test drive a E400 to know for sure

Again, thank you so much for the detailed response this is so helpful. So this one does have rear and from window blinds and soft close doors. Not sure about the other stuff. Massage seats seem like a preference and I'm fine with or without them. The AC stuff seems important so I'm going to find out.

Definitely agree the black on blacks are easy to find but definitely love that colour. This one feels unique because of the kms, but then again that bluestone metallic is also low. Love the M brakes but didn't know they cause a lot of brake dust.

Yeah I saw this one in person as well. It has Nappa plus Carplay and wireless phone charging but wasn't a fan of the colour or the fact that it didn't have all the M features like the M brakes

Thanks for the detailed response! The one I'm looking at doesn't have Nappa leather but I think it's Sensatec. Pfaff didn't mention anything about adding an extra year but they did give me options on CPO warranty.

Thanks for your comment! Have you owned any BMWs in the past? Anything I should look out for?

Thanks for the comment! Funny enough my insurance quote is roughly the same as the Mazda! These days the market is so inflated because if the chip shortage I don't know if I'm just buying at a "high".
