[champignon]

I still have the option of converting my M2, entering production shortly, into a ED car, however the timing of the trip would be very inconvenient for me and I already have a trip planned to Europe in late April, whose timing is dictated by a family wedding I will be attending. I've been told that BMW won't hold my completed car for 2 months awaiting my pickup, so this is unlikely to happen. Also, rejiggering my trip to include a Munich pickup will entail quite a bit of expense, probably wiping out most of the 5% savings from ED. And, I've been to Munich and Germany 2 or 3 times before, so the excitement of discovery wouldn't be there, for me.

Notwithstanding any of this, reading threads on this board pointing to 3 month plus transit times after ED, and the potential for damage that might not be easily covered once the car arrives, has really soured me to even considering this option any further.

Thanks for posting all of your experiences!
