I hate the way it comes off sometimes, but that's exactly it. The car is great...but it's really the journey. The M2C is not appreciably different/better enough on its own to justify just getting rid of my M4. If it comes to that and my dealer balks at the refundable $2000 deposit, I'll just say okay put it toward an extended warranty or some tires and we'll figure something out on that end. Getting the money back from Lufthansa and Germans at BMW Driving schools...well, that's another fight. Hopefully, I'm gleefully cursing through Europe in about 100 days and it's no big deal.

according to the news today looks like all of EU is going to have America on the ban list. Not looking good for ED.

Wow that is so discouraging. I was actually thinking of this last night - "What if, Marshall, because Americans need to go to bars and like their freedom from masks, the EU just doesn't let us in?"
Welp. My late night mind meanderings seems to have a likely outcome. Originally I was also thinking I'd cancel the order. However, I've gotten way excited for this and it would be a huge step up from my 228. PCD could be a decent, but admittedly less fun, consoldation prize.

Just heard from Raven. In case I need to postpone, BMW AG will store the already produced 2020 car and hold on to it until I am able to pick it up at the Welt (Aug or Sep).
Meanwhile, Lufthansa has yanked off all its JFK/EWR to MUC direct flights through Sep ME from its website, offering instead non-direct routes via Brussels. Most EU flag carriers are focusing primarily on flights within EU this summer, reducing their projected schedules to US cities to a minimum, and cancelling some routes altogether. |

It sounds almost like a forgone conclusion that the US won't be on the July 1st list. Even if the list if reviewed every two weeks, we're looking at a dead minimum of July 15th and considering we are currently 5x the average infection rate when compared to EU, I don't see how we can reduce our rate that quickly. I'm considering my mid-August trip high risk now when I originally thought it would be enough time.

I am with you brother! My delivery date is two days before you, we will be in Munich on the 8th. If we make it to Munich, it would be great to meet up (if you are there on the 8th).

If there is a ban in place, Will bmw honor ED price and ship the cars?
This is a big hypothetical question but everyone needs a backup plan. ED was on my bucket list since 2011 when I started buying cars. Had Planned on taking my dad but that fell through obviously . Sigh 😔 In rooting for you all. |

If I cannot do ED on this round, then a Cayenne is going to replace my Q7 in 18 months. I checked out the 911, but that won't work for a family trip around Europe. |

Not digital, just a lot of back lighting. I test drove one and with the lights out, you can still see the gauges. A couple Pre-LCI and LCI comparisons show the difference on the gauges.
