Euro Delivery goodies and perks when you get there
So as of 2 weeks ago, I'm booked to pick up my baby on July 19. I saw another forum member say he got a bunch of goodies in the mail from BMW Canada, but I haven't received anything so far, and my local rep knows nothing about it. His comment was simply That if there's going to be something, it will be mailed to me directly.
Also, I recall reading somebody's ED post, where they mentioned they were picked up at the airport in a nice 5 series. Is there a package or something that talks about how all this works? I'm assuming that wasn't just some one off perk that lucky owner got. |

I'm scheduled for an August 1st delivery. I got a big welcome package in the mail a little while ago. Basically like a big brochure. No goodies or anything. My dealer says you can arrange stuff like airport pickup through them. Not sure if that's accurate though.

They do provide a shuttle service from the airport. The service is provided by a third party company, Sixt. We had a ride in a nicely equipped 740Le for our recent ED.

It is indeed an apples-to-apples comparison, as you have suggested above. For instance, if I had not done ED, the price of my car would have been $56,595 rather than $53,920. Both prices include destination but not tax, so I saved $2675 plus $161 in tax (based on 6% here in MD). But the tax is not paid separately - the CA/dealer collects it all at once: the sales price, any "doc fee" they may charge, the destination/shipping charge, and the tax. And that - collecting it all at once, paying standard $995 shipping, sales tax based on contract price - is the same for ED or otherwise.

You should get an ED welcome package. It will include a bunch of information. Some of it you need to know such as where to get all season tires (you won't need), how to book your airport pickup/transfer, who to contact and when about your drop off, scheduling your factory & Museum tour, etc.
Oh, check for German holidays, they take them seriously and lots of things close (factory, museum, more). This package does not come from the dealer but will be mentioned in the letter that confirms your ED and should come directly to you. For me, this didn't happen until I called the dealer and indicated I did not receive. The dealer reached out to folks in the US that coordinate ED and they initiated shipment. It could be that it would have come without my prompting, but it seemed late to me. |
