Preparing for the future at the recently built state-of-the-art BMW factory.

No more euro delivery

DanG · 10-27-2019, 09:05 AM

Hmm. Mexico delivery.

arciga18 · 10-27-2019, 11:26 AM

Quicker transit times to the US. Makes playing the incentive game a little easier

Germanauto · 10-27-2019, 05:06 PM

On the one hand I'm thankful BMW will still produce such a car.

But on the flipside, it's an M division product. It should be built in the homeland. The biggest blow is no more Euro delivery.

I've always wanted to make that trip but BMW doesn't make anything that piques my interest besides this car. I guess it was never meant to be.

F87source · 10-27-2019, 05:20 PM

I wonder if they will ship to back to Germany for Euro delivery lol. Or maybe they'll do a performance center delivery in the USA.

Only issue is I hope that the build quality will be on par to the build quality in Germany, there is always a little issue when production starts in a new location and employees need to get used to building a certain product. Muscle memory I guess.

But the good thing like others have said is faster delivery.

As long as not to much tequila on a Friday should be a-ok.

Otherwise absolutely no bueno.

Haha that would apply probably everywhere on Fridays when everyone is tired, and Mondays when everyone is lazy. My M2 may have been built on a Tuesday because there are some small naggling issues like the passenger door requiring more force to close.

CosmosMpower · 10-27-2019, 06:36 PM

F that, I'm out.

///M TOWN · 10-27-2019, 09:42 PM

If I can't do a European Delivery with BMW on my next M Car then I guess I'll do one with Porsche instead...

How sad is that ⁉️

ContactPatch · 10-27-2019, 10:28 PM

It's all due to this one multi-language-cross culture word: "greed."

100%...

It comes down to over estimating future earnings targets and later having to do things at all costs to meet them.

Bmw already has only 2 core platforms

Outsourcing manufacturing to other countries

Focusing on the Chinese markets that is already showing slowed growth

FWIW, it's still not quite Toyota which spends 0 money on engine and tranny developments and cant develop their own sports car whilst being the largest car manufacturer in the world.

That's why I'm planning ED on an M2C next summer. Better get the experience while we can!

Not sad at all, you will be driving a P car

Welp.

m20e3087 · 10-28-2019, 09:16 AM

Oh my lord. Made in Germany F87 will go down as legend! But if it's really good in handling I wouldn't mind buying a new one.

Bahn360Photo · 10-28-2019, 09:21 AM

And current M2 price just went up!

CP911 · 10-28-2019, 09:23 AM

That sucks. No concerns about QC or getting a bad car, but I will absolutely not be buying one out of principle. Don't care how fast or nice these cars are. Very unfortunate.

crossmen00 · 10-28-2019, 09:24 AM

I think a portion of M2 will be built in Europe and offer through ED

If Porsche will still have it. Even today, you have to work at finding a dealer willing to do it, and it may quietly slip away...

BMW is also preparing for a future without euro deliveries: reducing/eliminating the price difference, eliminating the dealer incentives etc.

If you've wanted to do it, don't delay, do it now. Get on a list for the CS and have a go next year.
