BMW European Delivery Program Ending for North American Customers!

GOLFFRR · 05-05-2020, 11:38 AM

It is a sad day for all the euro delivery fans out there. BMWNA has just announced that it will be ending its European Delivery program for North American customers.

Details:

May 18th will be the last day BMWNA will accept pre-reservation forms.
The last month you can choose to do ED will be September 2020
If you have placed a deposit for a 2021 model and would still like to take delivery within the timeframe stated, BMW will accept the pre reservation form without a production number. Once a production number is available BMW will assign accordingly. (as pricing/allocations is available you will be able to schedule delivery)
Anyone who is scheduled currently to purchase a vehicle through ED will still be able to pick it up at the Welt through September 2020.
If #4 applies to you, you will receive an email stating you will be able to complete your original delivery as scheduled.
For the remaining orders which still qualify for European Delivery, these vehicles may not be operated on any racetracks or involved in any racing activities while they are in Europe.

If you have any other questions please feel free to shoot me a buzz or talk to your sales rep.

Cheers.
GOLFFRR

Well that sucks! Glad I got one done in '18 but I was hoping for another one at some point.

RyanBMW · 05-05-2020, 11:52 AM

Is this a temporary thing or permanent? Is there a reason why for this? It really going to suck A$$ if it's really the truth, because it's one of the things on my to-do list

Another CCP Virus fatality. RIP European Delivery program.

as of now it's permanent. I would imagine it has a lot to do with the current market conditions as well as the safety issues etc.. must make more sense to just shut it down.

Jaszm · 05-05-2020, 11:56 AM

nooooooooo

The Automotive Enthusiast · 05-05-2020, 11:57 AM

Audi pulled the plug on their Euro Delivery two or three years ago also. Sad to see the trend continue with BMW. I had dealt with clients that went with BMW simply due to the Euro Delivery experience.

stein_325i · 05-05-2020, 11:58 AM

Wow, this really sucks. I'm so glad I got to experience European Delivery, even if it was almost a decade ago, it truly was a memorable experience.

F32Fleet · 05-05-2020, 11:58 AM

Damn, but I have had the opportunity numerous times in the past and never took advantage of it so I only have myself to blame.

M3LBOURN · 05-05-2020, 11:58 AM

Nooooooo. This was on my bucket list

elitesales305 · 05-05-2020, 11:59 AM

Sucks

keylime503 · 05-05-2020, 12:00 PM

Damn, that blows. I'm really glad I got to do it once in 2017. But it makes me super sad that I won't be able to do it again.

ChrisK · 05-05-2020, 12:00 PM

Oh this sucks!

Glad I had a chance to do this my e92 M3.

Aaaaaaaaa · 05-05-2020, 12:00 PM

What about mEXiCaN DeLiVeRy

nisam · 05-05-2020, 12:01 PM

Volvo and MB still offer it right?
Was planing on doing euro delivery with my next BMW...
I guess theres truth to the saying if you wanna make god laugh make plans.

M2Cmtl · 05-06-2020, 07:58 AM

Expect it to come back in two years without any discounts like in Canada...

marshall834 · 05-06-2020, 08:21 AM

Wow this is really really dissapointing. I've been working towards this goal for a new M2C in 2021 for ED since 2016.

Guess I can now just buy a slightly used one and roadtrip it home. Not quite the same...

Economatic · 05-06-2020, 09:41 AM

This is so disappointing. The M2C is my first BMW and after my wife and I had such a great experience with the ED program, we decided we'd make every effort to put BMW at the top of our list for buying new car. I stated this in every survey I filled out about my purchase.

Such a bummer though! I was even trying to figure out if I could justify a new car next summer for so I could also compete in the WEMBO 24 hour solo mountain bike race in the Czech Republic. I guess I can cross that off the list.

brandontrek · 05-07-2020, 06:23 AM

So glad we took delivery when we did. Literally the last week before winter tire requirements and before a COVID world. Such a shame to see a great program end.

nosbocaj · 05-07-2020, 05:15 PM

This is terrible news. My ED in 2018 was among the best experiences of my life. I still have all of the vignettes on my car just for the memories.

My wife and I were really looking forward to doing it again a few years down the road. Here's to hoping it will come back someday.

trafficalert · 05-08-2020, 09:52 AM

I'm so thankful for the forums. Just texted my dealer to place M2 order. I would've been devastated if I missed the deadline. My current M2 just passed it's 4yr warranty date so this will be perfect timing. Time to book flights

bobert · 05-18-2020, 09:08 PM

I think Porsche may have followed suit in ditching European Delivery - they revealed the new Targa online today, and apparently the pricing has gone up for all models (I suspect it's model year 2021) AND I no longer see European Delivery options on the Porsche USA configurator (no Leipzig, no Zuffenhausen)!
