European Delivery Q...

Mike714 · 01-12-2010, 04:22 PM

Hey guys,

First-timer here. Been reading up - great forum, glad to be a part of it...and a future M3 (E92) owner hopefully. One question I have is in regards to the European Delivery program...Is there an age 'restriction?'
I'm 19, and the reason I am asking is because of the fact that there is insurance coverage offered, and I am hesitant as to whether the insurance company would cover "new" drivers - especially for a car in this price range...Would there just be an additional cost? I would love to get the experience and visit BMW Welt, I am just hoping that my age isn't a factor... Once again, Thanks for your help.

From what i read there is no age limitation for insurance other than having a valid drivers license and passport.

Enjoy the trip!

You must be 18 years of age so you are good.

Mike714, May is a great time. When you pick up in Munich your first two weeks insurance are covered by BMW. Here is a cost breakdown if you need to stay longer. The extended stay fee for insurance is automatically added to your invoice when you order.

from http://www.eurocarsonline.com/www.eu..._Delivery.html
What is the Registration and Insurance policy?
BMW European Delivery provides 14 days of premium insurance and tourist registration with no additional cost to you. However, should you decide to extend this, additional coverage is available for purchase in 30-day increments only. Insurance beyond the 14 days and up to five months is available for an additional premium. For example, for 45 days coverage, you would order two months of insurance, which is the actual coverage period, not one month plus 14 days. This coverage must extend to your drop-off date and can be arranged through your local BMW Center and must be done in advance to your pick up date. The European Delivery department must be notified a minimum of 2 weeks prior to pick up in Munich in the event of an insurance change. The change of insurance cannot be done upon arrival in Munich.

Insurance period- Cost to customer
14 Days - $0
1 - $225
2 - $482
3 - $894
*4 - $1435
*5 - $1886
*incl road use tax (4 and 5 months)
Best regards- David

I don't think you will have to pay extra. I was 21 when I went last summer.
