Car dealers have an exemption in CO-- go figure. They can do "no contact" sales.

Which seems pretty much the same as regular sales, just without handshakes.

60% of the sales/finance staff are laid off and the rest are on a week/off a week.

My SA said that mine was one of the last cars they got from the SoCal port-- he had nine cars that were stuck there as CA had shut down transportation.

I don't know if that's the case anymore.

Which Dealer in central PA? We ordered/built an X3 M Competition from a PA dealer but everything is in Limbo now with the shutdowns.
Didn't your state say no car sales until May at the earliest?

As they say: First world problems.
Same with me man. I wonder if our cars will show up before winter.

So I've been working on a euro delivery since October.

My originally scheduled ED day was May 4th, with a build day of, well, right about now.

I talked to my sales rep and they offered to switch the ED over to US delivery, while retaining the same discount (cool, still sucks I don't get to go to germany, but it's a nice discount).

Now that the factory is shut down though, all dates are out the window, and I'm sitting here looking at in stock inventory... There are two M2Cs in LBB coming into my local dealership in the next few weeks, both of them are only one feature off of my order spec- one without exec package, one with orange stitching instead of blue (who the heck ordered orange stitching on a blue car?!)
I put my name on the one with orange stitching, just so I can get a first look at it when it arrives and see if it's... tolerable. I think it probably won't be. Also the price is still not as good as the euro delivery order price, with the right specs, but that car is now probably 4-6 months out, at least.

Any guidance?! Help!

edit: WA state. car sales are ok, it seems. they are offering local delivery of the cars for all buyers.

Isn't Euro delivery discount only 5%? You can beat that on the lot all day long. Honestly, ED discount is only worth it for the experience and not necessary for the discount.

Also who orders a M2C without Executive package? Ok, I'm sure some would. But for dealer inventory, that is very surprising.

Lastly, LBB and orange would be interesting to say the least. I've actually never seen that combination and honestly, picturing in my head, I'm not a fan.

Personally, I would wait till they open up ED or do PCD. Or if I were going to pick one off the lot, I would shop around and get the exact spec you want.

Yeah... That's the crux of it. They have two LBB's, one without exec, one with orange stitching. UGH!!!

So the ED price I negotiated was ED MSRP, and another 2% off, so overall a decent discount. The on-the-lot price they would give me is 4.5% off MSRP, so still about $1200 above what my ED + 2% price is.

Just don't know if I want a LBB without exec or with orange stitching. I can't really find any other LBBs in the area with the right spec- the few that are DCT/exec/blue stitching all seem to have 5-10k of accessories added.

Do you have time to wait? I'm sure a lot more are coming when restrictions ease up. And for M2C, I would shoot for 10%. That was what a lot of members were getting.

Also, I love the executive package for the upgraded lights. I would just be patient

yep. it's really just the lights.

Should I cast my net wider? look at neighboring states? I don't want to wait another 6 mo if I don't haveto.

Oh absolutely! The Seattle and SoCal area are notorious for little to no discount. A lot of dealers now will ship for free or at very discounted rates to move these vehicles. Last I checked, there were over 300 M2Cs at dealers. However, I think there were only 4-5 LBB.

Regardless, I mentioned previously I got 11% MSRP on a car and they were going to ship it to me for free. Unfortunately, I decided to go with LBB and I want to do PCD.

Happy hunting!

Thats a tough one, but I'd rather give up exec than have a LBB / orange combo. What's you exact desired spec?

Exact spec I'm looking for:
LBB, DCT, exec package, blue stitching, black wheels. no accessories.

If I can get one in that spec for more than 6% off, I'd buy it pretty much right now.

That's my wife's toy-- I can't fit in it with the hard top up.

On the plus side, she insisted on it being a MT.

Here's a video of a blue car with orange stitching. Hope this helps. Speaking as a fellow person from Seattle, the orange stitching really helps liven things up a bit. We get very little sun here and the car's interior is already pretty much black. The blue stitching is more tasteful IMHO, but it's 'cold' feeling and in a place that's already cold and dominated by greyish tones rather than bright sunny colors. In that context the orange stitching is almost a relief to look at. That's also a big part of why I went for the sunroof, i'll take a bit more brightness in the cabin any way I can have it.

That said, my car isn't blue.



Also, you want that heated steering wheel in the exec package. It's not super cold here, but its cold enough that you'll end up using it at least six months out of the year. It's not a thing I expected to like or care about, but man....It's nice to have.

Most of the interior is black/dark anyways. I don't mind it. From the outside, you can't tell really.
