Congrats from me too - Post some pics if you have some!
I'm heading there in a couple of weeks to do the same thing, but with a more Eastern itinerary, ending up in Hamburg.
Can you comment on how long the Ingolstadt part ran for? From being picked up (I'm assuming in Munich?) to driving off in your car? I'm trying to figure out how far I'll be able to get that afternoon driving, after the factory tour / delivery. I don't want to shortcut any of that of course - it's part of the reason I'm going - just want to plan for it.

I'd say if you wanted to do nothing but grab your car and go it's probably an hour from the time they pick you up at the hotel. If you want to do everything, I'd plan 3-4 hours.

a.i.,
Looks like you enjoyed your delivery as much as I did mine. Since I did mine at Neckarsulm, can you tell us if the factory tour at Ingolstadt was a group tour or a private tour? Thanks

I like the way we did it to be honest. Once you clear the Munich airport it's probably only 30-45 minutes of driving to Ingolstadt. We checked into the hotel, had a quick meal and went to bed. The next morning they picked us up to go to the Audi facility (15 minutes away). If you want to it's probably only about 30 minutes of paperwork, but really... stay. Do the tour, it was awesome (2 hours). Go through the museum and eat at the cafe. Then we left and did the drive back to Munich and were there in the midafternoon.
I'd say if you wanted to do nothing but grab your car and go it's probably an hour from the time they pick you up at the hotel. If you want to do everything, I'd plan 3-4 hours.

So., thanks! Your answer was very helpful.

The Munich drop-off point is actually within the airport complex itself, so you just walk to your terminal building from there. In Paris, I was told that they will arrange for a taxi/shuttle to take you to the terminal. I believe that it is free but my memory could be wrong.

In all fairness, so was I. Some of the most alive I've ever felt. But definitely one of the scariest things I've ever done.
