Having zero BMW ED experience, I wanted to consult the knowledgeable folks on this thread on a few minor ED details. Apologies if this should've been posted elsewhere. Thanks in advance for your help.
1) Want to keep the German zoll (ED) plates. With Audi ED, I requested this from CA and let the loginout.de lady at the drop-off know. She left a note on the dashboard and the outcome was both plates stored in the trunk at redelivery. How to ensure same outcome with BMW? 2) Ditto the "BMW Freude am Fahren" frame, which all BMW ED sport at the back. How to make sure it is still on the car at redelivery? Older posts indicate this could be bought at Welt or German BMW dealers. Newer posts claim both sources have dried out. 3) Want to keep the windshield stickers untouched. Namely, German emissions (round green "4") and A/CH toll (vignette) stickers. For Audi ED, took a picture of these and sent them to CA. His detailing crew skipped the windshield. How to ensure same outcome with BMW ED? |

I think I told the drop off people and also told my CA last time. Sometimes the plates are removed, but usually not. I told CA not to wash or even touch it...car was delivered filthy and I drove straight down the road to my guy for paint correction/perfection/coating. Sometimes the emergency triangle is stolen and there's not much you can do there, apparently.

As for the frame - It was still on the vehicle on my last one, but I don't think the first one had it for some reason. I had nothing removed from the windshield either on any delivery. All the emissions and vignette's stayed until I had to replace the it - thanks Colorado winters. As mentioned - you'll want to remove the medical kit and hazard triangle and bring them home yourself. Often times they are removed since it's not required equipment stateside. |

Thanks, Helles and somberlaine.
Sounds like it is all in local dealer's hands. Will make sure to request with the CA that the car is untouched after it arrives from the port. |

I was just told by my CA we have allocations! Now to get the date...Update: Order is in...111 status. Changed to silver wheels after some thought. Also ditched the moonroof and added the M Driver's Package. I want that higher speed limiter for the Autobahn.

Raven got back to us this morning and said she was working through a backlog of allocations and my delivery date should be confirmed "by Monday night". Fingers crossed. |

Me too! I changed to the silver after some searching and thought...I think they pop on the orange. On the AW, harder to tell...but I am liking the silver more and more.

Still waiting for my allocation. I called the dealer today, not feeling good about things. Looks like everyone is getting allocations/dates...

I have faith for you. I thought for sure last week I wasn't going to get one. Now I've found out all three of my dates are not available due to BMW event at the Welt. Really hoping I can get the next best date...otherwise it's a total mess scheduling wise.
