ED Fun Limited to Canada?

I have yet to experience ED and missed the opportunity back in 06 with my 335. Im on 2 lists for M2 with ED and was going to plan my own trip but would certainly consider the grand tour with other owners. Why is it limited to Canada???

They will probably do something similar for the US. I think Canada is getting our cars first since we seem to have ordering info etc now, while you guys are still waiting.

According to BMW, Canada is one of the largest ///M market in the world per capita. This is why BMW Canada offers a special ED tour.

And then there is the U.S where the "capita" is so large, we simply don't need to say " Per capita " :


I am sure this will apply to the US market as well. They should do it for every major market as far as I am concerned.

True. The USA would def be buying loads more M2's vs Canada or most likely (China?) all other countries regardless of per capita numbers.
Regardless, I don't see this ED being anything 'special' if there is a (large) cost attached to it.

I Agree, while its nice to get a discount, I would not pay extra just to have the car delivered in Europe. Fortunately for the US there is a slight discount. I believe for CA it may not be a discount but could be a no cost option... Which is (barely acceptable).


However, the experience shown on the link above appears to be a package of hotel stays on a tour along with some special events. I am sure it would be an added price and something you select if you can attend. Sounds fun!

Yep... true. There are lots of perks that BMW M owners in Canada get (like pricing info before the US... neener, neener ) because BMW likes to reward its highest per capita sales market in the world.

The link is different than European delivery. It's actually a BMW European tour. They did the same thing in Canada when the M3/4 was released. It is a special perk they offer select Canadian customers because the Canadian market acceptance of M cars.

To add to this, this is what farbmw went through last year for the special Canadian ED for the M3 and M4 Launch:

http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1006526

Factory tour, some skid pad, lunch with M division CEO, Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, good meals, good drives and good company.

The M2 and M4 GTS tour has a Salzburg track day thrown in.
