How long can you leave a car at factory before Euro Delivery pickup?
So I already got a production number for my M2 Comp , and I had figured it would take a month or so to build it, and I would go to Europe in mid September, when it's nice weather and avoid all the tourists and drive it for a week.
It seems that they've already confirmed based on my Production number that my car would be ready on July 19! I know I should be ecstatic about that, but I really don't want to do my trip in late July... It will be hot as hell, and way too many tourists on the Nurburgring! Do you know if I could ask to still pick up the car mid September? Or do they not hold a car for people that long, before you pick it up for Euro Delivery? |

You'd have to ask them if they can hold it, problem a case-by-case basis.

That seems kinda silly. They want you to plan your vacation to Europe on short notice (less than 2 months)?
When I do my ED, my dates will be pretty firmly set, plus or minus a week or two. I'll just have to coordinate with them I guess so they can build it whenever they want, but I have a specific window when I'll want to pick it up. I'm sure my dealer will work with me on that though (choosing which specific allocation).

This entire thread confuses me, and I just got back from ED a mere seven months ago:
First, I don't understand how you can have a production number in May when production doesn't start until July, and when third quarter allocations (and therefore production numbers) are released in June. Second, I don't understand the confusion about timing the ED - you schedule an exact date at the time of the ED Purchase Order (actually, you give them three dates - and they can be three consecutive days - and most of the time you will get your first choice).

To the person (OP?) who has such an early build allocation, you may want to check to be ABSOLUTELY SURE it's going to be an M2C and not an M2 (assuming that's what you want).

First, you get an allocation, and it doesn't matter what production week is initially assigned to that allocation, as long as it's in the appropriate quarter, as BMW will move your production week to coincide with the approved delivery date. By the way, did the dealer give you the production number (vs just telling you they allegedly got one) and, if so, have you called the status line to confirm its status and the production week? Just curious since third quarter allocations won't be out for approx another month. You have to complete an ED Purchase Order. Production status: 1-800-831-1117 BMW NA Special Sales (ED): 1-800-932-0831 For reference, my car took 12 days to build and was completed 19 days before delivery. My ED PO was completed on 6/20 and the car finished production on 9/16. I had about 3.5 months from PO to delivery. Hope this helps.

I'm going off what my rep told me. He said today that he pulled some strings to get me in early, and he emailed me the production number (903xxxx) with a July 19th pickup date, at the earliest. I signed my deal a few days ago, and checked off the ED option. He gave me a brochure about how it works, that's it. Today when I went by, I got the European Delivery forms to sign, so I was going to book my trip based on the above date. I'm assuming if I insist on a Sept. ED date, then they'd give me a different production slot. |

The second phone number is the best resource for ED - it's a BMW NA number so it should work for Canada too. They are really helpful and know the ED process better than any other resource.

Tourists just like you lol! The only time the Nurburgring isn't busy is when its closed. - To be fair, it's a little better Nov to Feb as you don't have so many bikes.
