#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.

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.

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
#140 of 251 krzys by kevinjs Mar 24, 2003 (1:53 pm)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) Thanks. I wasn't exactly thinking of leasing via ED. You said that BMW finances. Do you still have to go through a local dealer, and also pay the $ over invoice to them for the service?. Also, I guess the price of the lease would be based upon the ED price. Other than losing the possible two months, is there a big savings for doing it this way, or would it be better to lease it straight up from a dealer? Thanks Kevin
#141 of 251 check by krzyss Mar 26, 2003 (11:56 am)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) BMW site for info. You can find ED invoice prices on www.roadfly.com (edmunds does not provide pricing info for ED). What I learned is: ED vehicles are not coming from dealer inventory/allocation. You can haggle the price, some dealers might not be willingful to do ED because it involves more paperwork than "normal" sale. It is better to find a dealership which knows what ED is, what is the process and sells for less than MSRP.   Good luck.   Krzys   PS My ED is still waiting for me in the future (hell, my BMW is still probably not designed yet) - other expenses are more important.
#142 of 251 325Cic 2004 Autotop by nirvanaor Mar 27, 2003 (1:57 pm)
Replying to: fronobulax (Aug 27, 1999 8:13 pm) Anyone knows the price (EDinvoice)of getting an auto top on 325Cic.I know the standard top which comes is manual and you get an auto ragtop with the PP.
