#130 of 251 2002 BMW European Delivery by jwdehaan May 07, 2001 (11:38 am)
I contacted a local BMW dealer on the earliest delivery of a 2002 Convertible 330i and he indicated a January or February 2002 delivery. I then contacted the BMW web site number for BMW and they said I could get the same car in late September of 2001. But, the very polite woman I was talking to on the web site phone number said they only get an allocation of 10 of the above mentioned convertibles a month and they (the European Delivery people) support over 300 BMW dealers thou the US so you have to place a fully refundable order now. Refundable until prices etc for the 2002s come out. Then you must firm up the order in order to maintain your spot on the production line.   I would appreciate any comments from BMW owners that have gone through the European delivery system. The only downer I see is I personally would not care to take delivery in the snowy season. Top down in the Alps?   You can save big bucks if you have frequent flyer miles to get you to Munich. For instance business class from Los Angeles to Munich roundtrip is 80,000 miles.

#132 of 251 Delivery dates by kevinjs Mar 20, 2003 (8:07 am)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) Does anyone know of a phone # or web site, that I can check to see how long it will take, from the start of ordering, to get a 2004 325CIC? I would like to pick it up in late May, or early June, otherwise, wait till after the summer. Also, do they sometimes have cars that are availble but not assigned for pick-up? If so, is this only available to a dealer? Thanks Kevin
#133 of 251 European Delivery rules by sigurros Mar 20, 2003 (11:25 am)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) This just struck me.   I am a Canadian living in the States as a resident (hold a permanent job here). Does my status qualify me for ED? I know they need to see your passport when you place your order through ED. I just don't know if being a resident in the States is enough.
#134 of 251 Go to the website.... by andys120 Mar 20, 2003 (4:55 pm)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) if you type "bmw cars north america" into Google you'll find it.
#135 of 251 with such status by krzyss Mar 21, 2003 (6:26 am)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) I would call BMW or BMW dealer (maybe a few dealers). BMW web page does not give you this kind of info.   Krzys
#136 of 251 ED Purchase by loubct Mar 21, 2003 (6:32 am)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) Krzys is correct: Contact a BMW dealer. They can tell you if they have any allocations for ED purchases.
#137 of 251 re kevinjs by tomwannabmw Mar 22, 2003 (10:44 am)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) It is doubtful that you would be able to procure a late-May delivery date for your 325CIC as it is already late March, but you might get lucky. June might be possible. I am picking up my car May 9th, but I ordered a month ago. I think BMW might build a few extra for ED each month that you might pick up at an earlier date, but it would not be built to your specifications. You would have to check with your dealer for this.
#138 of 251 by kevinjs Mar 23, 2003 (6:22 pm)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) Thanks for the info. I was at a dealer on Fri., and I thought I had a deal for $1000. over invoice, they even checked with BMW, and they said I may get a May 14 date. After doing some paper work, the salesperson came out of the managers office, and said the price was going to be 2000 more, but if I get in writing, they would match it. I got ticked off and walked out. Another dealer just e mailed me asking for 1750 over invoice. I have not replied, but I will turn that down..Now I wonder if I should just lease and not bother with ED
#139 of 251 I believe that you can lease and ED if by krzyss Mar 24, 2003 (1:13 pm)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) BMW finances your car. There is a problem. You start paying your lease one month before European pickup. It might make sense if you are on East Coast but I doubt that paying for 1.5-2 months when your car is in transit to West Coast is good.   Krzys
