Question for those that had European Delivery (ED)

[Mr. ///M3 RD]

The pricing for the 2012 M3 is out (Sticky Thread above).

Base (US entry);
M3 Coupe - $59,900
M3 Convertible - 68,500

European Delivery;
M3 Coupe - $55,705
M3 Convertible - 63,750

My question is what difference in price (ball park number will be fine) have you M3 Drivers that made the ED experienced?

I know it is a great experience to make the ED (I've visited Die Welt in 2009), I am just curious what price difference there is and what other charges are added in the end i.e. delivery here in North America.

Thanks Fellows ...

and Happy Motoring

Cheers,

Rolf-Dieter

Another forum has a Euro delivery sub-forum with a wealth of information and a Wiki. Google "Euro delivery forum" or "Euro delivery wiki" and it should come to the top.

When I did ED last year I was offered US delivery at invoice and ED at 500 over invoice. You should be able to come close to that I would think. The difference should be close to the difference between ED and US base invoice give or take 500. You might have to do a lot of calling around to get a smokin' deal like that though.

Cut an extra 7% on that ED price (including options and packages) above and that's about the invoice price. Add $500 or so to that and that should be the real ED price if you order thru one of the forum dealers.

Thank you ...

My dealer advises that Canadian prices will only be available in September, I guess I will ask them the question then and compare the price difference between Canadian entry and European delivery.

I like to pick up my next car in München or Stuttgart then take a 4 week trip thru Germany and Italy

For pricing, you start with US MSRP. US invoice is ~7% below US MSRP. ED MSRP = US invoice. ED invoice is ~7 below ED MSRP. This is for just the base car. All options are at US pricing. There is no ED discount for options when doing ED.

I was able to work with Ryan @ Steve Thomas and get a great price of a few hundred over ED invoice on my e93 M3. Of course, I turned around and spent for than the ED/US difference on the vacation but driving on 12-14 passes in the Alps was worth it. Oh man, was it worth it.
