Thanks for those constructive responses you provided.

I recently obtained the European Delivery Department's phone number: 1-800-932-0831, and call them.

The answer to the question I got was, BMW will only accept pick-ups from the person listed in the purchase order. (due to insurance, etc.)

However, The purchase order is only used for European delivery. The person on the PO does not need to be connected to the purchaser of the car. The PO person will not dictate the name of the person (purchaser) on the registration / title of the car when it is at the stateside.

The person on the PO must have a valid driving license, passport and a US address (who doesn't have those.) Again he does not have to be or (legally) connected to the purchaser of the car.

In case I can't go, I could have a friend/coworker of mine's name on the PO, so he can pickup the car for me.. That way I can save a few thousand dollars. He gets to have a short vacation.

In case you were questioning my logic, we work for an airline, so flying to Europe cost virtually nothing.

thanks again.
